Welcome To The Ghetto

If you don't know about 'em, look them up. If you ever find a vinyl copy for cheap snatch it up.

That is all!

!Rare Album!

Damn! Damn! Damn!

I know I haven't posted in a couple weeks, but it has been for a good reason. The free time I usually have to share some of my favorites was used to try my hand at a remix competition. I was my first time and I'll have to say it was Damn good fun. I'm just a hobbyist so I usually just make beats and do nothing with them, so this was a chance to challenge myself and see what I could do. Being that I had never created a remix I had to learn fast. So if you haven't been over to 4 Brothers Beats get over there and check out all the entries. I'm glad I'm not a judge, because there a lot of bangin' entries to pick from.

CHARMELS - "As Long As I've Got You" sampled for C.R.E.A.M

Well here we are again. Another week and another post. Once again I had something different I was going to post besides what I am posting today. It was a compilation but I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. So I'm posting the Soul of Hip Hop, but wait there's more. Since the post I had planned had two volumes I'm going to throw in a tasty treat to get sour sampling on for all you beat makers. If your not a beat maker it's still a something nice to listen to in my opinion. Well since I'm tired and tired of typing, I'll give you these and I'm off to bed. Enjoy!

I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I know it's been a while but sometime you gotta take a break. Stop and smell the flowers. Spend time with the fam or just veg out. I know a lot of you won't even read this because your just here for the music. Well I'll get to that now. Who cares where I've been and what I've been doing. The important thing is that I'm back with music and more. More now also means you have to put up with my rants and run on sentences. All right now for some music.

I had a nice post all ready, but before I drop a post I like to see if someone else has already beat me to it. And yes the post I had prepared was already floating around. So I'll tell you what I was going to post and where to get it.





Two dope albums in my opinion and you can get them over at zamboni. So jump over there grab 'em and leave a nice comment.

So moving on to what I'm posting. I saw these around the blogs but not both at the same spot. So here's you chance to grab both at the same time, same place. These are 2 funky compilations right here so you better get them before they are gone.

VA Dramatic Funk Themes Vol. 1

VA Dramatic Funk Themes Vol. 2

Get it while it's hot and I'll see ya, next week!
