This was a video mix rocking 45's but it was too big so I just posted audio !!! I'll see if I could cut bit rate on video Thanks for checking in !!! Njoy !!! www.kaydeerecords.com to cop 45's and many more goodies !!!
The Roots is my favorite Hip Hop group of all time. It was the crew from Philly that revived my love for Hip Hop with their album "Do U Want More".
At the time in 1994 Hip Hop as culture changed greatly from the early days in the 80's. All the aspects of culture starting to go underground and separate. What was once an unified culture of the few became a separated culture of the many. Within that backdrop my attachment to the culture and music was waning but then a good friend of mine Bee255 gave me his cassette copy of DUWM by The Roots. The fusion of tight rhymes over live instrumentals struck me exactly like the first time when I heard Run DMC in early 80's. It reminded all the things I loved about the culture and the music.
Fast forward to the present I always had a idea to make a mix dedicated to The Roots and when I heard fellow DJ/blogger Pipomixes The Roots mix (link at the bottom) I knew it was the right time to finally produce a mix of my own. Instead of making a Best of mix with tunes from the group's numerous albums I decided to follow Pipo's lead and start where he left off. The mix by Pipomixes featured tunes from Do U Want More to Game Theory. This Part II features songs from Game Theory to How I Got Over.
Well there it is, my long explanation of this "The Roots Part II" until my next mix coming in December enjoy the tunes.
Peace & Blessings

My folks Jamin at Kafe Yen in San Diego reached out to me to do an Instrumental mix for his Thai restaurant. A lot of stuff I listen to personally is instrumental (most rappers ain't sayin sh!@ anyways) so I jumped at the opportunity because I knew I could be a bit adventurous with the playlist and drop some cool stuff I don't always get to play in front of a crowd. anyway peep my sh!@ and make sure to go get some Pad Thai next time your in SD at my Homie's spot. Music as varied as Fela Kuti to my folks TD Camp, and Roy Ayers..

A few years ago, Okayplayer asked me to do a Common mix which fans would receive (as a bonus cd) if they purchased Finding Forever on their site. With the buzz starting to build for Common's upcoming album The Dreamer, The Believer, I think now is the perfect time to release this to the masses. Enjoy!

To be honest, I wanted to do two things this month: play some hip-hop, and use these really funny voicemail messages I found while digging through old samples and sound files. I was able to do both, to a certain degree - I could have played more records, and I could have played more messages, but I think what came out is a decent little tape, a couple treats to vibe out to in your headphones, something a little more rugged for the hoodies-and-jeans fall weather. These are a few records that remind me of hitting classic vinyl spots ten years ago while flipping a Rob Swift mixtape over in the walkman. Hmm..that might have been a bit more than ten years ago.
Much like the dozen donuts on the cover, I tried to drop a variety of joints here, from Chicago and Seattle, Philly to the UK. First is a vintage DJ Spinna instrumental, I just love how his beats were so creative, hit you so hard with the bass lines and filters - you always knew it was Spinna. Found this the other week at The Thing, the b-side has a joint from Buckwild. Next up is High and Mighty's "The Meaning," which might end up being my favorite twelve-inch by them. Bought this at Fat Beats when it dropped, back in 97 I think. Then you got an off-kilter Daedelus instrumental, and some People Under the Stairs, before some super-underground Roots white label heat. (Did this ever come out officially?) I'm sure by now you can tell the vibe I'm on here...next is one of my favorite Mumbles beats, followed by the slept-on All Natural record "Ill Advisory" featuring Juice, discussing why you don't want to mess with Chicago emcees, years before Kanye. Then just to flip it up, I dropped some UK material - Lewis Parker's "101 Pianos," with some Herbaliser basslines and What What rhymes. But possibly my favorite record on this mix is "Official Members," a serious classic Emerald City piece from the "14 Fathoms Deep" compilation by Mad Fanatic ft. Rag Chyld. The concluding record is an instrumental from Madlib's underrated cousin, Kankick.
Last thing I want to say, in regards to the two messages on the tape, is big shouts out to Gabe and Sara for trying to hook up a donut fiend. I had totally forgotten this happening - good looking out! And shouts to Ani for the cover photo - the best donuts reside out west.
