We dig into our underground hiphop crates to pull out some nice selections of rich beats, vinyl techniques and rhymes this week. We kick it off with Birdy Nam Nam, the 2002 DMC World Champion turntablist quartet and their deep Abbesses composition. Doomtree drops some rhymes and picks up the energy with Z-Trip rockin’ the party and taking us into the zone. More rhymes from Grieves and Atmosphere drops some sick production until we drop back a decade or so with Ming & FS doing their hiphop meets dnb thing. Some quality Canadian hiphop in there with Sixtoo and Canadian DMC champ DJ Brace showing us that hiphop is alive and well north of 49. The silky voice of Dessa brings us down followed by the for-some-reason-unknown sample guru DJ Frane with his cutup scratchin and funked out piano groove of A Story I Heard.
