Golden State Remix


Hey all, I'm not dead just been hiding under a rock! 

Rap 12": Misfitz Ov Stylz


Classic hype a$$ cut from local outfit Misfitz Ov Stylz, off of their obscure '95 4 song EP on Size 12 Management. Big ups to DJ Lexx, one of the first DJ's to show me love in the bay when I was just starting to play records out.

Fams Jams

Bunch of new good stuff floating through by some of my talented friends and folks, thought I'd share a few tunes.

First off, grab that Pendletons joint on 45 right now - there's only 200 and it's fresh! Groove Merchant has them, as does Turntablelab.


Next mention is the homies Vin Sol And Charles McCloud with a nice bassey minimal house rework of a Sade classic. Free download - sweet!



Vin Roc and Mike Baker's new song is pretty damn fly. Go to Vin's site for more infoz, and to DL and/or buy.




This an old one, but I really meant to post it up here long ago so why not now. Lunice beats, Jealous Guys raps. Still dope. Big ups and courtesy of Southern Hospitality.



Bonus beats: peep the dude DJ Vajra's tight Fugees blend with the "all i want is you" beat:



RIP Kwanz


New Disco Hyphy Remix: Do The On One


Here's one I've been holding for a minute, as usual I added a few chords with the Juno 106 for added effect.

80s Synth/Bay Rap Edit: No Hoe Remix


Here's a new take on the old D-Lo joint, featuring Beeda Weeda, E-40 and The Jacka. Super Disco Hyphy still in the buildin'.

Track The Movement: Tonight + new RMX


We are playing rap records all night tonight at Showdown in SF. Now if only I had a hand-truck.


And here's a new version of the dude Z-Man's "Cupcakin'" - one of my first MPC-based remixes, hopefully many more to come.

New SF Rap Heat: The Jealous Guys

Check out this excellent new rap joint from the local talents of Ayinde and Biz y Casa. Grab the whole One Night Stand mixtape here and peep out their blog for more.



I Got 5 On On It - D.O.A. Break


Locked Up/All Over Me

Laid the A.kon vocals over a re-arranged Jacka instrumental, seems to work out pretty well...

Bay Rap: New Eddie K out now!


The homie Eddie K has a new joint out - "Future Spit, which is available on itunes now. Support Ed's dedicated grind and go copp it! Here's a track from the album, featuring Mac Dre and Spank Pops.

The Game So Easy

And for a bonus beat here's another old b.cause mixtape blend featuring Eddie aka 88 and S.F. legend DJ Quest, who btw is one of the illest on the cut ever.

Glamorous Lifestyle - The Hard Way


New blend feat the Jacka acapella over the Done Deal slap - I have a weakness for that guitar organ combo.

And I Heard The Strangest Thing

Here are 3 southern rap remixes I've made from the past few years that I still dig. These tracks all share the same quality in that I basically took a straight soul or funk 45 & chopped it generously to work around the song structure. They took a lot of elbow grease but it was worth the effort.

Dolla (RIP) - Who The F-ck Is That (ya mama know remix)

Baby Huey - P*p Lock And Drop It (joey remix)

B*by Boy Da Prince - The Way I Live (you got what I need rework)


Wake It Up/Super Rappin': New Remix


Fresh off the block, sorry for the recent slackage!

Wake It Up (Super Rappin' Mix)

They Can't Wait To Dub It

Happy Birthday to one of the best to ever do it. I seriously wish more people realized how incredible a rapper Mac Dre was. I'm talking top 10 GOAT. Rest in peace.

Here's 3 MD related edits I've made in the past.

In-tune edit of Zapp's "Be Alright" with a nor-cali anthem:

It's Rainin' Game (alright remix)

Unfortunately there was never an instrumental of "Feelin' Myself" and it's impossible to loop the beat clean from the vocal versions, but with a lil' elbow grease I was able to manage a cool dub/instro version complete with a bridge for blends, transitions, etc.

Feelin' Myself (instrumental edit)

Quest 4 Survival


A friend passed this amazing record on to me a long time ago, & it's still one of my favorites. RIP Plan Bee and King Mike Dream.
