Spit Gemz feat. Thirstin Howl III & Meyhem Lauren – Homemade Hot Sauce [Audio]

With the release of Spit Gemz’ “FVCK THE RADIO” project last Monday (February 25th, 2013), Gemz dropped off one of the standout tracks featuring heavyweight power MC Vinnie Paz. This next track is an ode to his Lo-Life brethren & his Brooklyn/ Queens roots. Featuring the Lo-Life general Thirstin Howl 3rd & the Fly Shit champion Meyhem Lauren. With such lyrically gifted MC’s you would expect something extremely gritty, but Gemz flipped the script and shows his versatility with probably one of the best head bop tracks on the album. Produced by Russian OG MC/Producer Ligalize…

DJ Daddy Dog – Notorious B.I.G. Video Mix [Video]

Biggie was undeniably one of the best emcees of our time. It’s only natural to honor him. Lots of djs are paying respect by creating Biggie sets or tribute mixes today but I’ll do it differently and visually. I’m mixing audio & video with a sprinkle of slicing & dicing to pay homage to the “illest…representing BK to the fullest.” This 30 minute video mix is actually a portion of a mixed DVD series I worked on with another dj but someone got real greedy. I hope you take the time to appreciate his musical genius. By the way, I had some help from Jay & Nas to speak about their lyrical brother. R.I.P. B.I.G. Tracklist 01.

DJ Rhude Presents The Notorious 9 [Mix EP]

Gone but never forgotten. It’s been 16 years since the Notorious B.I.G. was tragically taken off this earth, yet his timeless music lives on. I’ve always wondered what Big would sound like rocking with some of today’s producers, which was the catalyst behind this project. I’ve taken 9 of his songs and matched them up with some of the dopest producers out now. Some noteworthy beats featured on The Notorious 9 are from Harry Fraud, No I.D., Large Professor, The Alchemist, Jahlil Beats and a few others. Along for the ride are some respected heavyweights from the industry in Datwon Thomas (Exec. Ed. Vibe Mag) Shaheem Reid (The Round Up, XXL, Shade 45), Jayson Rodriguez (The Content King, host of The BQE), Rob Markman (MTV News) and DJ Goldfinger. They all took some out time to share their thoughts on Big. Hope everyone enjoys this tribute to one of the greatest rappers to grace the mic. RIP to the late, great Frank White. Peace. – DJ Rhude Previously: Hot 97 & BET Present: Various Artists – The Cypher: Notorious B.I.G. Tribute (Trailer) [Video]
