ANTI ADVERSARY

Sev_Statik_and_The_Vinylcologist-Say_Peace_Remix-CDS-2012-UC

It's been exactly one month from the time we dropped the Sinderblock EP. Sev and myself can't thank everyone enough for showing support and the great feedback on the record. Now I don't usually do remixes unless it is industry stuff or immediate fam, but you know how the saying goes... "I does ish right the first time, no need for a remix..." thx to Smog for that wonderful concept. In true fun I thought it would be good to do a remix and include the instrumental since you all have been so great to us. I always used to get amped when people gave out the instrumental to a remix. This has been done a while ago and has been sitting since the album was finished. I didn't want to overwhelm people with too much at once and it would also give heads a great reason to revisit the song even though I know you all have the album on repeat.
*winks to everyone who's in on it
Keep spreading the good word and post it on any site or anywhere you want.
Sev will be opening up for Rakim at Northern Lights along with Mirk and a few others. I will be in the house as well chillin so say what up if you recognize me.
In the meantime enjoy this.

Up_North_Trips-Tens_#17_(Honey_Dips)-2012-UNT


One week ago to the day we dropped another chapter in the UNT Tens series. #17 (Honey Dips) features 10 songs about fly persuasive females. I'm posting it here in case you don't already have it and soon it will be added to the discog. I'd like to personally thank Ego Trip Mag for giving UNT a platform to invite new people into our love for hip hop. Shout out to my fam that hold it down with me as well... Ev and Stan.
Peep the rest of the write up on Ego Trip here.

VA-Refined_Hype-Intelligent_Design-2012-UC

The website Refined Hype brings you this dope 10 track album. Great production on here and yes, someone else used the "I need the dollar" sample and just shortened it...as if we wouldn't notice. My favorite track on here is "her bourne identity".. it pretty much sold me on checking the whole record.

"Intelligent Design" is a collaboration between yours truly, the mothership, FamCo Clothing and 2WordstotheTop. Featuring singles "Her Bourne Identity", "Hustla" and "The Way Its Gon Be", the ten track album contains rhyme work from the likes of JSWISS, BLAX, Skyblew, Charmingly Ghetto, K. Sparks and many more. Production comes from The Accomplices, Jimmy Flight, DJ Bum Brown and others.

Roc_Marciano-Emeralds-CDS-2012-UC

The video dropped a few days ago, but is too blogworthy not to post it. The first single off Roc Marci's Marcberg (Reloaded) that came out about 5 months ago. The album is set to be released on Decon this month and will feature production from Alchemist and Roc Marc. Another new project that focuses on Marci's production; Marci Beacoup will feature Evidence, Action Bronson, and Guilty Simpson and is set for release later in the year. There is speculation that Marci is part of a new group called M.A.R.S. based on the video and song produced by Large Pro feat. Action, Cormega, and Saigon. Who knows what the real deal with that is, but when I find out I'll keep you in the loop.

BIG LACES WITH THE MOSAICS

The_Beatdown_Collective-Live_on_WRPI_91.5FM_(11-10-10)-2011-UC

One year ago today The BDC unleashed a ton of unreleased heat over the airwaves of WRPI fm. A jazz side project that merges old school drums, loops and samples with live instrumentation. Totally meant to be on the spot and a one take thing. This project reminds me of when jazz was back at the clubs in NYC, based on spontaneity and style, but only times have changed. We are executing other ways of getting out there to the public. It's only right to show and prove in every genre you capable of creating. That's why I thought that everyone should own this. It's a great listen and a nice blend Funk, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Electronic. Kid friendly. Big Ghostfase would give this like a 5 out of 5 Zeus Slaps b.

Anything But Orderly

After just coming off working on the UNT Beatbox Tens I remembered how much I loved the Fat Boys when I was young. Their music was fun, non violent, and was unlike anything I had ever heard at the age of 7. I then had my mother take me out to Strawberries to buy the record.
Big shouts to MA Dukes for having a nice record player... and for showing me how to use it.


After some months passed "rap" began to gain popularity among kids at the B-ball courts. Boomboxes and high tops. Pins and hats were also a necessity. These were some of the old hard to find relics.



Cazal Glasses became popular with the B-Boy movement and Skateboarding was being introduced on TV. They made plenty of money off merchandising and licensing too. Check the OG Bones stickers on the bottom of the board. To me these things I can remember them like they were yesterday, but time really takes off after your out of school. I guess that's why you see so many old people at community colleges. hard to believe over 25 years ago.
Back then people were saying it was going to be a trend.



They even starred in a movie. Straight classic... pure stupidness.



These guys even used to chill with Freddy.


..and The Fridge


They were a huge influence when I created The E. P. The samples they used for their song were well known radio songs and helped bridge the gap between young and old listeners. My parents never minded me playing this loud. It was the N.W.A. I had to buy 4 copies of because my mother would break them and throw them out.

Fat Boys - Wipeout



Fat Boys - Louie Louie



Fat Boys - Coming Back Hard Again


Fat Boys - Falling In Love


Fat Boys - Sex Machine



RIP Buffy 'Human Beat Box' Doctor Nice and Heavy D.




My favorite Fat Boys album.

Up_North_Trips-The_10's_Collection-2011-UNT

Recently I worked on a collaboration with my good friend Ev from college and his boy Stan from downstate. The idea was to make a series of mixes specific to one idea and include tracks based on that. We dropped one every day for about 15 days starting last month on the 10th. It is called The 10's. It was so popular it received a ton of reblogs via Tumblr and various other websites. We even received a picture of the man himself, Prodigy checkin' up on our progress and making sure his infamous lyric, being used as a handle was justified. After talks a few days back via email with the UNT fam, we've decided to continue The 10's and keep more of those lunch break mixes filling up you Ipods. We haven't worked out exactly when we will be dropping them, but I will keep you filled in. A ton of copycats are doing lists that are similar...10 this 10 that, best this, best that, etc., but remember where it all started... Your Memory's Museum, Up North Trips.
