If you know me, you know I’m not the biggest fan of Reggae, but I’m definitely a fan of Lindo P and Lyve (ever since Tona’s “Direct Deposit” LP)! Matter of fact, Lyve will be joining us on the New North next month.

I never bother with snippets because they are the equivalent to “blueballs” in my books but something tells me the full record won’t be dropping for a while. Don’t worry though, Jay Electronica‘s full verse IS on here. Props to 2DopeBoyz!

“This is another time lapse video by J “masaro” G on Grandmaster DJ Roc Raida (R.I.P., May 18, 1972-September 19, 2009), the first skratch DJ from NYC to win the DMC champ back in 1995. The beat is track 3 from his Champion Sound Mixtape (2003).  The illustration is done in Ball Pen & Ink within a 6.5 hours period. The video is complied with still pictures taken approx every 5 minutes. Roc Raida is one of the pioneers for the turntablist culture and also one of the infamous members of the Xecutioners crew. Anybody that had met him before can tell you that he got this charismatic ” humble swagga” to him….!!! Roc You will be missed but def not forgotten!”

Second installment of my man Tochi‘s “Retrospective” series, in which he previously featured the legendary DJX. In this episode, Tochi lined up another Toronto legend, K-Cut of Main Source. I’ll let him tell it though:

“K-Cut is one of Canada’s most respected hip hop producers. He is a member of the legendary group Main Source and has produced classics for artists on both sides of the border, from Maestro (Conductin’ Thangs) to Madonna (Human Nature). There are too many songs to mention. In this episode, K-Cut talks about his records with Big Pun and Citizen Kane.” – Tochi

Hit the jump for some outtakes from the interview, including one in which K-Cut talks about the infamous Jay-Z line to Nas “I was the first to show you a tec on tour with Large Professor” and its authenticity. Read the rest of this entry »
