NEW ALBUM OUT NOW! AWON & DEPHLOW DEPHACATION (PRODUCED BY PHONIKS)

dephacation.bandcamp.com/releases

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/dephacation-prod.-phoniks/id868637472

Blood in Blood Out is a story about the perils of drug dealing and drug abuse that has a chilling personal touch to it. This is a very riveting tale of street life that touches the heart. "The story is about two people I lost that were very near and dear to me, I hope people can learn from my experiences." -Awon 

The album attempts to bring back the golden era boombap sound of New York hip hop in the 90's, with sharp, clever emceeing by Newport News' Awon and smooth, jazzy production by Portland producer Phoniks.

Awon is an American underground hip hop artist who is currently making a name for himself amongst the international hip hop community. Most known for his Goon Trax debut, Beautiful Loser, Awon is also part of the group Awon & Kameleon Beats and a member of the hip hop collective, The Soul Students. Awon has worked on various works with Thomas Prime on Waiting for Tomorrow, and Love Supersedes II.

Phoniks is a 22 year old up and coming producer from Portland who has built a reputation online for his series of hip hop remix albums with classic/old school flare, 2011's "The Tape" and 2013's "Basement Vibes" and "Make Beats, Don't Sleep" have achieved success both domestically and internationally through his Bandcamp website. He has been featured on a number of hip hop blogs and magazines including Respect Mag, gripsquad.com,ughh.com, and whudat.de.

TRAPMASTERS !?
A five-fingered fist of musical fury being the outward expression,
Trapmasters is merely a name that represents a greater cumulative
force from the coast of the North Sea.

Not a fashionable expression, but a lure for open-minds away
from the mainstream thought process, using sub bass as a tonic;
frequencies honed to destroy and rebuild anew.

TRAPMASTERS - MIXED JUICE VOL.2

Suffice to say, everyone respects Kool G Rap’s gangsta! Rolling Stone Magazine once quipped “before Kool G Rap, New York didn't really have the street rap that could hold its own against what artists such as L.A.'s Ice-T and N.W.A were churning out, and G Rap excels at the street narrative.” The legendary emcees influence still resounds today as evidenced by Pusha T’s “King Push” where he name drops the Queen’s emcee “rage against the machine/black Zach De La Rocha/and a cranberry roaster/inside track on a G Rap poster.” As a pioneer of Mafioso Hip-Hop, Kool G Rap is often cited by fellow emcees and critics as one of the most influential and trend-setting emcees of the past two decades. Whether as a member of the ground-breaking Juice Crew (with which he helped create the blueprint for a posse cut with “The Symphony” and likewise for his contribution to Heavy D’s “Don’t Curse” which also featured Big Daddy Kane, Grand Puba, Q-Tip & Pete Rock & CL Smooth), or his numerous classic LP’s with DJ Polo (1989’s Road To The Riches, 1990’s Wanted: Dead Or Alive and 1992’s controversial Live And Let Die).  

After disbanding from DJ Polo, Kool G Rap started his solo career with his debut solo-LP  4,5,6 in 1995 which featured production from Buckwild and guest appearances from Nas--it has been his most commercially successful solo-LP; reaching #24 on the US Billboard 200 album chart. This was followed by Roots of Evil in 1998 and The Giancana Story in 2002, which included the hit single, “My Life" featuring Talk Box legend G-Wise and it reached #5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts. In the following years, G Rap would go on to release two more solo-LP’s (2007’s Half A Klip which featured production from DJ Premier & Marley Marl & 2011’s Riches, Royalty, Respect) and he continued to flex his lyrical chops on projects from The Brand New Heavies, Fat Joe, M.O.P., Pete Rock, N.O.R.E., Mobb Deep, Big L, Reflection Eternal, Lyricist Lounge 2, G Dep, King Tee, Ghostface, Ras Kass, UGK, Statik Selektah, LL Cool J, Wu-Tang Clan, Alchemist, Raekwon and Rick Ross among others and there were even rumors of G Rap signing to both Rocafella and G-Unit records; and at one point Maybach Music.

Likewise, Necro has also carved out his own very unique standing in the industry, whether it was playing guitar in a metal band at the tender age of 11, rhyming alongside his brother Ill Bill, producing his own material and for artists such as Non-Phixion, Cage, & Raekwon, or creating his own Independent label, Psycho+Logical-Records, which has thrived for over a decade now and released over two-dozen projects (including nine of his own).  Necro has toured the globe many times over, been a participant in some of the genre’s top festivals (Rock The Bells & Paid Dues) and even created his own film production company. “The Godfathers album is about pure east coast lyricism over hardcore beats. Kool G Rap is the legendary godfather of all criminal street gangster rap, he invented most of what you see today and lyrically every dope emcee is inspired by him; including myself. On the flipside of that coin, you have me, the underground king of Death Rap and extreme hip-hop, nobody in the field gets more respect than me for brutal rhymes and hardcore production. Since we are both godfather’s of our own respective styles, this collaboration was a natural and overdue one” Necro asserts. 

The Godfather’s (Kool G Rap & Necro) will release their collaborative project, “Once Upon A Crime” on 11-19-2013 and it will be released on RBC/Pyscho+Logical-Records.

Here's another Magical Mystery Mix with some autumnal selections that I'm feeling at the moment. It's the follow up to Part 1 that I first recorded in February, and once again, if anyone can ID all the tracks in the mix in the next 7 days, we'll send you some Brownswood Recordings goodies. 

UPDATE: The tracklist is up now!

Magical Mystery Mix Part 2

The Tracks
A1: Live At Palladium
B1: You Want My Love
B2: Demain A Jamais

The Lowdown
Phil Weeks and Robsoul Recordings kick off their 15th year in house music with a new three track EP from the main man himself.  Live At Palladium has been the standout track of Phil’s sets over the last few months, always generating a queue of people asking what it is.  You may just recognize the Marvin Gaye sample, which was also previously “borrowed” by Moodymann.  It comes backed with the funk-infused You Want My Love and the soaring, chugging groove of Demain A Jamais, and looks set to get another year off to a flying start for one of the finest labels in underground house music.

MARCO POLO - PA2: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT - ALBUM SAMPLER

In 2007 Marco Polo drop the now legendary Port Authority album, a true collection boom bap hip-hop beats with some bonafide legends of the game. "The Radar" featuring Large Professor, "Marquee" featuring O.C., and "The Radar" featuring Masta Ace to name a few. For his sophomore release Marco has gone bigger and badder!

Port Authority 2 is five years in the making and truly lives up to the 'Director's Cut' tile, including 19 tracks, a laundry list of legendary EMCEE's (old and new), with well over an hour of heat. THIS is how hip-hop should be done, and this epic offering is an instant classic. Slice Of Spice is proud to present the vinyl for this project, in collaboration with Soulspazm and Spaghetti Bender Music, including a beastly x3LP pressing of the album, and a Bonus 12" for those who support the Special Edition Color x3LP and Collector's Box Set editions.

Solid Steel (25th April) 20 years ago Nas released his legendary Illmatic album and DJ Moneyshot has put together an outstanding tribute mix 'Nas - Half-Man Half-Amazing'. As with the previous tribute mixes for the Beastie Boys, De La Soul and Public Enemy, it's more an audio documentary threading together sample sources, interview footage and remixes alongside the original Illmatic tracks. Hear the vocabulary, the flow and the rhythm expertly delivered by Nas, backed up by the sublime production of Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Large Professor and Q-Tip, plus original samples from Lee Erwin, The Heath Brothers, Ahmad Jamal and Reuben Wilson. All this deconstructed and rebuilt by Moneyshot for another classic Solid Steel edition.

Not Disco!..Featuring Some Brand New Releases Coming Soon To Superbreak

Superbreak

D.O.P.E- Superbreak

The word anniversary once referred to the commemorative feast in honor of a Catholic saint. Today we use the term for a celebration of any past event that took place the year or years prior on the same date. 

This year in particular marks the 20th Anniversary of a hip-hop record distinguished by its raw sound, uncompromising lyricism, and social commentary: Jeru the Damaja's debut album, The Sun Rises In The East. 1994 was a powerful, transformative year for hip-hop. Nas, OutKast, and Biggie Smalls each dropped their debut albums, while other more established artists released projects regarded both then and now as milestones in the genre. Jeru was only 21 years old when he recorded the The Sun Rises; 22 when it came out on Payday Records. And the album was well received in the hip-hop community.

What you're about to hear is Jeru the Damaja taking us track by track through his DJ Premier-produced debut album, delving into an array of subjects and stories such as:

- Waiting and watching for Nas to create Illmatic. 
- Spending formative years with the members of the Wu-Tang Clan.
- The nature of Brooklyn pride. 
- His inspiration drawn from his family, friends, and predecessors.
- And the story of how he got his pet hamster.

This is "You Must Learn."

"You Must Learn" was produced and edited by Peter Oasis, written by Dharmic X, and executive produced by Evan Auerbach (of @UpNorthTrips), with narration from Soul Khan. The intro was produced by DJ Flipout, and the artwork was designed by Kelly Green. Special thanks to Sarah Honda for the love. 

"You Must Learn" was recorded in your mother's basement next to your favorite blogger somewhere in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. 

Please subscribe to "You Must Learn" on iTunes, Stitcher, and wherever great podcasts can be found. 

You Must Learn - Episode 1 - Jeru The Damaja - The Sun Rises In The East

So this is our first time doing this. Wontu and I (Mad Pat) sat down and talked about Blu and Bombay's new album, Good To Be Home, and recorded it. We talked about every song on both disks, gave our thoughts on both disks, on the album overall and we ended the talk with some superlatives of our favorite songs/features/beats/etc. You can navigate through the podcast at your own discretion to our thoughts on different songs/summaries of our thoughts on the album. The times where each songs starts being talked about/summaries and superlatives are discussed are below the SoundCloud link.

Again, this our first time trying this out, so let us know if you like this way, if you like written reviews more, if you like both. LET US KNOW. We greatly appreciate everyone who has viewed our site once or a hundred times. You're all the reason we keep doing this.

EveryDejaVu's Review on Blu & Bombay's 'Good To Be Home'

To celebrate the WFMU Record Fair, kicking off in NYC today, we've dug back into the digital archives (courtesy of Noah Uman), for an hours worth of Lord Finesse interview and a live DJ Mix. This all went down back in October 2011, for the last live show for Coffee Break For Heroes & Villains out of their New Jersey HQ. We were in the building with K-Def, Redefinition Records, and DJ O.Gee. 

Slice Of Spice will be running a table for all 3 days of the Record Fair (Fri-Sun), and we'll be joined at our table by DJ Amir (180 Proof) and legendary owner of Fat Beats records, DJ Jab, and both are bringing vinyl. As for us...we'll be giving out some free vinyl, and debuting some exclusives. Head to our listening station to be the first people in the world to listen to the D.I.T.C. Remix Project and Lord Finesse's, SP1200 Project on vinyl!

We've made great friends with many people at the WFMU Record Fair, since we started attending in 2008, and we hope to see many of you there this weekend.

WFMU Radio - Lord Finesse Interview & DJ Set (10.6.11) - 1 HOUR SESSION!

Brooklyn, New York City. Home of fancy coffee shops, expensive condominiums, and trendy neighborhoods. But in 1995, Brooklyn was not synonymous for “gentrification.” Back then, Rudy Giuliani was Mayor of New York and he was in the midst of a serious war against crime. In 1995, Giuliani’s New York registered its lowest crime rate since the 1970s. From 1,156 homicides then to roughly 300 homicides now, the Big Apple has come a long way.

In the heart of Brooklyn stood the “Doghilee,” stomping ground for the crew known as the Boot Camp Clik. BCC, which helped spearhead New York’s hardcore rap scene, was comprised of four unique groups: Black Moon, Smif N Wessun, Heltah Skeltah, and O.G.C. Emerging with Black Moon’s seminal debut album, Enta Da Stage, BCC cemented their status with Smif N Wessun’s debut, Dah Shinin.

Released January 10, 1995, Dah Shinin is celebrated for the synergy between Smif N Wessun’s two members, Tek and Steele, and the cohesive, gritty production courtesy of Da Beatminerz. In 1998, The Source placed the album in its list of 100 Best Rap Albums.

What You're about to hear is Tek and Steele take us through the backstory and the making of their quintessential classic. They talk about:

- Their relationships with Biggie and Tupac
- Going to high school with Maxwell and Sean Price
- Being inspired by the work of Roy Ayers
- And what the Doghilee actually was.

This is "You Must Learn."

"You Must Learn" was produced and edited by Peter Oasis, written by Dharmic X and executive produced by Evan Auerbach of @upnorthtrips. Special thanks to Dru Ha and Duck Down Records for the love.

"You Must Learn" was recorded in your mothers basement next to your favorite blogger somewhere in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. 

Please subscribe to "You Must Learn" on iTunes, Stitcher and wherever great podcasts can be found.

The Meyhem Lauren Episode

Large Professor is a man of many names: Large Pro, Extra P, The Professor At Large, The Mad Scientist, the list goes on — and so do his talents. The heralded Queens representer is recognized for an alchemy of masterful production and his ability to rock a microphone. His status in hip-hop’s history is secure.

Today marks the 21st anniversary of the release of Main Source‘s influential and acclaimed LP, Breaking Atoms, the classic album from the group founded by Large Pro that also included “them two DJs” – the Toronto-based members, Sir Scratch and K-Cut. Much of the credit for the album’s effective use of enriched jazz and soul samples goes to Large Pro, who expertly hand-crafted the sounds on the E-mu SP-1200. Extra P also gave light to a hungry up-and-comer named Nasty Nas (maybe you heard of him) on the the record’s famous posse cut, “Live at the Barbeque,” and the newcomer made the most of his on-wax debut.

The 10s | Main Sorceror: Behind The Boards With Large Professor

It's taken a hot minute to get The Believers together to the quality expected of Slice Of Spice, but with the recent release of the x2CD, and vinyl soon, it's time to lift-off for this incredible project. "Awful", produced by D.I.T.C. affiliate, Ahmed, is our pick of the bunch on the x2LP, but with production by Lord Finesse, Showbiz, Buckwild, T-Ray and more...it's six of one and half a dozen of the other...DON'T SLEEP!

This project is 20 years in the making for Milano as it includes his previously unreleased D.I.T.C. produced album, The Believers, from 1999, his original demos under the name of Ambush and more tracks, produced out on the west coast with the legendary, T-Ray. Once you hear these tracks...you know this is an instant classic!

We've painstakingly put together and restored a total of 30 tracks, across a x2LP, x2CD and 45 Re-issue and Bonus Single. The Believers x2LP and Deluxe Edition Double Disc CD are both finished to the highest degree with heavy vinyl, gatefold jackets and gold foil trimming...we've gone all out. DON'T SLEEP!

"Rep For The Slums" is a bonafide underground classic and was Milano's D.I.T.C. debut behind Ahmed's monster beat. There was no way we weren't going to give this a 45 press, but to keep things fresh (and unique) we dug in the digital crates and restored the previously unreleased "My Niggaz", once again produced by Ahmed. This track not only compliments the A Side...it pushes it!

Included on The Believers: Deluxe Double Disc Edition (x2CD), we pressed a very limited number of copies on 45 vinyl, for the heads...DON'T SLEEP!
