1st Party emcee Mista Bourne joins his partner Luu Breeze on the remix to a joint that appeared on Luu Breeze’s “Topic Of Discussion” EP. Audio will be available on Bourne‘s new album “Bourne Again“ in 2011.
“Part 2 of our 4-part Cratery continues with one of T.O.’s foremost record aficionados and cool peoples: Jason Palma. Co-owner of Toronto’s vinyl institution, Play de Record. Bump-N-Hustle alumni. And host/creator of Higher Ground radio on CIUT 89.5 FM every Thursday night at 8 pm. It doesn’t matter if he’s selling you a piece of heat. Killing dancefloors around the city. Or blessing the airwaves with the latest. The one thing Jason Palma continues to do so well: PUT YOU ON TO DOPE MUSIC. We at Cratery are no exception. Cratery 23B featuring Jason Palma. Enjoy.
MILDLY INTERESTING CRATERY 23 FACTOID: Both Sipreano and Palma played versions of the song “It was a very good year”. Sip went for Art Snider’s instrumental rendition. And Palma drew for Della Reese’s funky big band 45. Not gonna lie. Record-wise, it was a very good year.” - ARCEE

“The first of a 4-part Cratery featuring 2 of our favourite record nerds, Vancouver’s Sipreano and Toronto’s Jason Palma. On Session A, Sip goes one for one with Serious, Kaewonder and myself, sharing his love for all things Canadian, funky and undiscovered. Sip is not only responsible for breathing life into Light in the Attic’s “Jamaica to Toronto” compilation, but also the curator of the recently created voluntaryinnature.blogspot.com. He is also credited with creating the phrase “Rock Kokanee Flow”. Cratery 23: Session A featuring Sipreano. Enjoy.” - ARCEE
A little late with this one but good to see Def Jam actually give Redman somewhat of a budget for a video for a change, guess all he had to do was name the song after them. “Reggie” is in stores now and features additional production from Rich Kidd, Tone Mason, Rockwilder, & M-Phazes.
