“Here is the a piece of what we are going to be bringing sonically in 2016. The Project is called ‘Carmen & Ramos Baby’. It is the story continued of one of the greatest Hip Hop story ever told.. #BeatStreet. Ramos was every bit of Hip Hop. However I feel he wasn’t glorified as much for some reason because he was LATINO (as well as a fictional movie character). However lets not forget who created HIP HOP. The voiceless men an woman of NYC inner city. The ones that had enough with the status quo and gave the world style and flavor. Puerto Ricans – BLACKS – Whites – Islanders. We all came together and produced a culture that has brought in billions and billions of dollars. WE !!!! Well here is a record for 2 NuyoRicans.. We are coming 2016… The sounds from the voiceless WILL BE HEARD!!!” – AlBe Back

Merry Christmas everyone! Here goes another Halftime show from ’98 with guests Eminem and Royce Da 5’9″ (85:53). Short interview right into the freestyle session (if only cats today were as hungry as the 90s generation). As usual, Riz sets off the show lovely and then half way through I get on to finish up. Always good listening to the mic breaks to see what was going on during that time (i.e. Tramps shows, Fat Beats in-stores, new mixer…thanks Fat Beats!) (52:25). So much good music played. Last mic break at 147:39. Enjoy.

The Pharcyde is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of their iconic album Labcabincalifornia by releasing a commemorative mixtape. In a collaborative effort, the #BeamMeUpSpinna mixtape is mixed by NYC’s DJ Spinna and features “Nasty Habits”, an unreleased joint from the vault that features Ralph Tresvant & Bobby Brown. We also asked a group of producers to remix and add their own personal spin on a few of the Labcabincalifornia songs that you all know and love. Dj Mike Relm re-works a mash up of “Drop”, SBBX remixes “Groupie Therapy”, Moka Only drops his version of “Y”, Ta R’aach teams up with Bootie Brown to co-produce “Devil Music, The Devils Kitchen Remix”, and The Pharcyde’s own Bootie Brown remixes “Runnin’.” DJ SPINNA is a heavily touted presence in the international soulful house music scene. He is known for his vast accomplishments as a producer, is celebrated for his “Soul Slam” events and Stevie Wonder inspired WONDER-Full Dj performances and subsequent collaborations. The Pharcyde’s sophomore album “LabcabinCalifornia” was originally released on November 14th, 1995. The group enlisted a young and then unknown James Yancey aka J DILLA to produce beats, like the cult classic “Runnin.” They also collaborated with director Spike Jonze (“Being John Malkovich” “Adaptation”) on the video for “Drop.” Labcabincalifornia has consistently and continues to reinforce their steadfast refusal to tread familiar artistic grounds.
