Fresh Rips!!!!

Guess who just figured out an easy way to rip his old mixtapes?

Thought I'd kick things off with THE mixtape king (sorry Two Hands), Tony Touch.

This is a Tommy Boy promo mix I got back in '99 & it came free with the purchase of another mixtape by a local DJ. Both sides are the same & only 30 minutes long, but it's kinda dope, and I haven't seen it anywhere else. The freestyles are from the 50 MC's pt.3 mix...

Get Yours - D.I.T.C.
Live It Up - Natural Elements
U Want Money - Cover

Aces International

Eek-A-Mouse. "Shall I style ya?"

Now I know this is the rapnerds blog. But, I am gonna drop something that is a little different. Today is my brothers birthday and in his honour I will give you one of my favorite reggae albums ever. This is Aces International, a live session featuring Eek-A-Mouse, Yellowman, Fathead, Little John, Toyan, Welton Ire, Buro and Billy Boyo. This session was recorded live and features some truly memorable stuff from all the artists but for me Eek-A-Mouse and Yellowman killed it on this recording. The reaction of the crowd to the big tunes as they drop is amazing.

Yellowman "Oh Lord it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way"

Recorded in 1982 in Kingston Jamaica this album has been one of my favorites of all time.

40 Degree Day

The latest of my 'The Wire' mixes is out! 40 Degree Day stars our favorite businessman. Stringer Bell. I always liked him when I found out the actor was from the UK. His cold and calculated approach to the game made him the perfect partner to Avon who bled red rather than String's green. The two of them built a huge empire and when Avon got sent down, String ran the show.

Without delay here is 40 Degree Day.
