Little Brother! Dude this is a classic mix

Hip-Hop I grew up with you and loved you but feel out of it when things got to hardcore and MONEY ravaged and changed you for what you really were meant to be.... many forgot who you really are, the culture, the struggle, the entertainment but most of all, the REAL skill it took to tell us stories, messages regardless if it was real or fake.
Your so taken lightly that it has divided many and some have even claimed your death because you've gone un-noticed unless 1 REALLY DIGS DEEP TO FIND YOU... 

But i'm gonna try to tell the world you exist.. one volume at a time, because I miss you so much.

This mix tape was recorded in 2007, and is one of my personal favorites. Thank you for keeping this mix alive for all these years.

The Love Movement Mixtape Volume 2:  Love From The Soul - Mixed by @Haylow (Recorded in 2007)

The Soulquarians is a neo soul and alternative hip hop-informed musical collective. The collective, formed during the late 1990s, continued into the early 2000s, and produced several well-received albums. Prior to its formation, members Common, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, and Q-Tip were members of the Native Tongues Posse.

Producer and drummer Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson of hip hop band The Roots acted as the "musical powerhouse" behind several of the collective's projects.b The name of the collective is derived from an astrology sign. The founding members of the collective — Ahmir Thompson a.k.a. Questlove from The Roots, D'Angelo, James Poyser, and J Dilla — share sign of Aquarius. Questlove, D'Angelo, Poyser, and J Dilla came together after discovering they had a common interest for the unconventional — offbeat rhythms, irregular chords, and other traits often exhibited by the underground urban music scene.  

Soulquarians vs Hip Hop

Here's the full consolidated full consolidated audio of all 3 of my opening sets from Seattle's recent Robert Glasper Experiment show featuring Theoretics & yours truly. There are certain gigs where 'the stars align', & this would definitely have to be classified as one. It's already been described to me as in the 'TOP 10 EVER' show for the Town. 'City Soul Radio' represents pushing the sonic envelope, rooted in mind-blowing, internally & externally body-moving SOULFUL sounds, & that's really my M.O. which made for a great fit for the AMAZING show they produced. This is EXACTLY how I like to DJ; ACTIVELY, SPONTANEOUSLY, HARMONICALLY & with a upwards crescendo of tempo & energy. Now you get to re-live the magic [if you were there], & get familiar with BLENDIANA JONES [if you werent before]. It's a fun & powerful 2 HOUR BLAST of exclusive live blends, needle rockin' & edits from myself, as well as from my comrades @docadam @BigJacks, @DJJaycee313, instrumentals from The Stuyvesants & others. [The track list is embedded in the 'LYRICS' section]. It can also give you a glimpse of how it goes down @ my NEW BI-WEEKLY Saturday Night get down called 'THE RHYTHM RUG' that takes place @ THE BLU GROUSE in GEORGETOWN [412 South Orcas], where I genre & era-jump all night long, playing nothing but GOOD SH*T. Anyway, enjoy 'GRAND OPENING, GRAND CLOSING'!

*GRAND CLOSING*


GRAND OPENING, GRAND CLOSING: LIVE DJ SETS @ ROBERT GLASPER & THEORETICS NEUMOS SHOW

Experiencing the break up of A Tribe Called Quest was real to me. How could they end something so great? Their music was effortlessly perfect.. Their watery landscapes and drum manipulation (using just 1/4 of a break loop) influenced a whole new style of beat making. A Tribe Called Quest elevated the musicality of Hip-Hop without playing a single note. They were one of the most influential groups, inspiring myself and many others.. this mix is a reflection of that influence and inspiration. -DJ Definit (2008)

DJ Definit - A Lounge Called Quest

Hit record and played some songs I'm feeling, hope you feel it too.

Lazy Afternoon 7

Music suffered a huge loss late last night/early this morning... We lost Phife Dawg of ATCQ & Native Tongues to health issues. Just like everyone else, I've been listening to Tribe all day and stumbled across these Native Tongues mixes I did for my people over at So Much Soul Clothing a few years back and figured I'd upload them. There's 2 parts to this mix, make sure you check them both out.
