Just getting back into town (which now means from NYC back to Toronto) literally as I post (which I am doing via a sweet free wifi connection on the Megabus ) but my homegirl, Anousheh is hooking me up with a free ticket for this Burton presents event on Friday. Always good to catch up with my dude, Pete Rock ! For more info click here: The Sound Academy | Facebook
I don't have too much of a fun story for this week's OSM - mainly I just wanted to hear some Pete Rock beats again. I put a Pete Rock remix up on Friday with my Me & Jay-Z birthday post , and those classic PR soul sounds - the thick drums, organs & horns - sent me scurrying to put Mecca and the Soul Brother on the ole iPhone for today's at-work listening pleasure. So I figured whilst I was...
Last week DJ Kper sent me a mix called A Boom Bap Continuum... ten years of beats from '99 to '09 , which he and DJ 2Tall spent almost a year pulling together, with help from DJ Clockwork . This is one of those classic mixtapes that will go down in history - genre defining, thoughtful & insightful, and mixed to perfection. So many friends have sent this over telling me I'll love it ( the playlist...
Today is my birthday. Like everyone, I share my birthday with a number of famous folks (Sergey Bubka, Marisa Tomei, Masta Ace), but one in particular stands out this year: Shawn Corey Carter. Yes indeed, the Jigga Man himself. I say this because '09 marks a milestone birthday for the two of us: Jay turns the big 4-0 this year, while I'm turning 35. Oh don't act so surprised, we told you we were old...
I was listening to my iPod on random today, and this song came on. It's from Pete Rock's Soul Survivor. I've had the album for years, but I guess I've never listened to it very carefully. I really like this track, and have now made up for lost time by listening to it about 5X since I've been home. Does that happen to anybody else?
Statik Selektah's beats are very much in line with the greats who paved the way for him. I'm talking guys like Pete Rock and DJ Premier, the latter of which Statik obviously draws from with his scratched hooks. And that's exactly what we get on "Do What I Believe," which features one of the best female MCs ever in Bahamadia. This track isn't anything flashy, just a nice blend of sampled...
Toolie signs of for the ‘09 with his annual round up of his favourites. as usual his ear doesn’t disappoint.

With so many great albums that go unrecognized, or under-recognized, I found a plethora of CDs that I wanted to remind people about this month. The two I ended up choosing are Phife Dawg’s first solo effort, Ventilation: Da LP, and the album that introduced the world to t.A.T.u., 200 km.r in the Wrong Lane. Listening to both again the other night made it clear to me that these are both Lost
After doing some e-digging last week for some Primo beats, I found some great catalogs of Primo beats online that were non-album cuts from Gangstarr. I have most of these but wanted to share them with you! I’ll post another 2 volumes tomorrow. Pass it along. Gang Starr – Non-Album Tracks Volume 1 1. To Be A [...]
