Tim Diesel – Best of Grand Puba Mix

Bay Area DJ, Tim Diesel, surprised us all with this eclectic and masterfully put-together of one of the most underrated MCs of all-time – Grand Puba. This lyricist has ghostwritten for many in the 90s – i.e. Pete Rock & CL Smooth as one example – and maintained his reputation for quick wit and flow.  Tim runs through Brand Nubian joints, solo songs, and his cameos on other projects.  Listen or download.  JGILLA, you’re gonna love this! Tracklisting after the jump.

Jay Electronica & Mos Def – Exhibit C (live)

When was Jay was in town a few weeks ago, he had Mos Def open for him. BMUSE caught some footage of the two doing Exhibit C. In typical Jay Elect fashion, he goes acapella to make sure you really hear what he is saying. Can’t blame the man!

DJ Q-Bert – 25 Years of DJing

Just wanted to give a salute out to DJ Q-Bert. 25 years in this game come this summer. He was one of the DJs that revolutionized the game but creating a more fraternal DJ culture by sharing all his techniques so that the next generations of DJs could elevate the art.

Fat Joe – Slow Down (Ha Ha) feat. Young Jeezy

This new song from Joey Crack feat. Jeezy is a banger. Almost makes up for the crappy shoes he made and that last few singles he’s released. Produced by Scoop De Ville (who I recently found out was Kid Frost’s son), this joint samples and kills the old Soul II Soul song.  Enjoy and thanks to NR. PS, pay attention to this picture. You’ll find out later.

Salaam Remi talks Sade/Nas Collabo

One of my favorite producers, Salamm Remi, talks about an unreleased remix for Lover’s Rock by Sade in 2001. This is a gem of knowledge that will go down in hip-hop trivia books for the ages. RapRadar has an excellent song reference that is worth checking out after watching the video.
