Also , welcome back LionsMouth !!! Congratulations again and I hope everything went well .by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
I haven't read the article , so I don't know who all the guest spots are . I'm not sore what Elton John will bring to the table , but I did think that some of Black Milk's best work was when he got with Jack White ( even though I'm not a fan of JW ) , so I'm hopeful that him being part of this will be a plus .by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Back on my BMC tip .. Bloody Monk Consortium - Burden Of Truth ep . @ @ BMC . I'm really feelin this album too . I enjoy the nods to groups like JMT and Non Phixion , but even though it has the feel of these other cats , you keep it all your own . Definitely hardcore , but lyrical too . If you guys keep makin em like this , I'm gonna keep buyin em . Looking forward to the new releasby jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed that this record is how it needs to be . We don't need a repeat of the new De La joint . I'm hoping that this will be the perfect end to Phife's legacy . I enjoyed the Tribe documentary , but was somewhat disappointed that it was mostly a beef video . I would love to see this record perfectly caps off the Tribe in a tasteful way . I got faithby jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
^^ Nice !! Whole car too .. I need to get out and ride around like I used to . Seek out new graff . It's hard to do with the baby , but as soon as she's old enough to spot it with me , that will be our bonding time . In the car listening to music and looking for graffiti . Unless she just hates then it's dad on his own once again...by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Word !! I was thoroughly impressed with her show when I saw her . At that point , I really didn't even know who she was so it was a shot in the dark seeing her perform . Not to mention that the show was in the Schermerhorn which is the symphony center in Nashville . Tickets were very pricy , but worth every cent . I'm glad you guys enjoyed the show ...by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Bloody Monk Consortium - Bloodshed . I know Rchecka already laid these dudes out for everybody , but I at least had to drop a few words . This album is dope !! Bust you in your shit kinda hip hop . Definitely worth the cop !!! @ BMC . Yo thanks for the extras . I don't have a CD player in the house , so I will have to bump the other joints in the car . They will be my soundtrackby jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Even better !! Now I will have new music for the ride and the house !!by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Word !! I love me some extras!!!by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Just copped that Bloodshed joint too !!by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

^^word . Just copped that Burden Of Truth cassette . Been streaming it this morning on bandcamp . You guys are dope . Definitely keep doing what you're doing .by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
New Testament- The DayAfter ep . SIX2SIX records has release this 7 track 12" of previously unreleased material from the mid 90s . Originally recorded between 94 - 96. Raw and gritty 90s style . Any hip hop head would feel this . No frills with the packaging here. Album comes in a generic white sleeve . It is pressed up on a nice marble blue vinyl . But black vinyl would've been fineby jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
I hit up a local shop lately that I hadn't been in before called Fond Object . It's a nice little shop , but my only complaint is their lack of music outside of the rock genres . There was a little bit of soul/r&b , jazz , classical , and country . Along with some misc genres world , exotica , etc . But all of these genres were very sparse ( except the country which was a decent sizby jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
I went bandcamp crazy , but the result was pretty nice !! Tha video looks dead but still plays for me .by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Been bumpin my recent score from bandcamp , and I feel like I'm on a roll lately copping dope hip hop . I've been in a slump for a while ( with the exception of a few choice buys recently ) . I hope I'm seeing my way out with these recent purchases ... J-Zone - Funky / Go Back To Sellin' Weed 45 . J-Zone meant funky when he named this track . The drums he played on this trby jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
I listened to some of this last night and really heard the JMT comparison . But early Jedi Mind . I'm digging this . Nice score homie !!!by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
There is a NM copy from a US seller on discogs for $3.00by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Just as good in my opinion, but way laid back . Really great chill out and get your mind right music !!! I totally recommend you grab it ...by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Various Artists - Does It Hurt ? Lp compilation . Full of Hardcore punk and crust . Put out by the Thought Crime label in Berlin . Featuring bands from Germany , Italy , Finland , U.K. , Austria , and the US . I wasn't familiar with any of these bands , but recommend this to any fans of the genre . Fast and heavy , just like I like it !!!by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Magic In Threes - IV lp . I got to give this a good listen this morning . These guys never let me down . Still sticking with the psychedelic soul instrumentals that are steeped in funk . Although there are a few uptempo tracks , this album is extremely laid back . I love that these guys rep my home town !!! Bandcamp pageby jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
^^ that sounds great !!! Need to check it out .by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
I can't believe it !! That Magic In Threes album showed up today!! It's not even supposed to ship until the 7th . I had a typo before when I said the 8th . Granted the address it shipped from is only a ten minute drive from my house , but to get a record the next day after ordering and six days before the release date is awesome !!! I was actually on my way out the door when I found theby jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
I went ahead today and preordered that Magic In Threes . Won't ship until October 8th .. the wait is gonna drive me crazy !!by jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Anybody else watch the Amoeba Records What's In My Bag videos ?? If you're not watching , basically it's celebrities and / or musicians showing what they bought in the store . I know it sounds boring , but I have been sucked into these videos and have actually stumbled onto records that needed to be in my collection . Here is a couple of my favorite episodes .. I could honeby jaybrown - General Discussion
^^ this is what I figured happened . I hate to bad talk these dudes because I'm all for indie hip hop artists doing things on their own . Plus I'm digging the music . I do feel like if you are gonna sell your music on vinyl that you should know how to handle it , or bring in a partner that does . They may have been better off selling cassettes or just staying digital . I did notice someby jaybrown - General Discussion
So I got my replacement record yesterday . It was well packed and included an apology note . The only issue I have this time is a warp in the vinyl , but it plays fine . I guess I can live with the warp . Even though it drives me crazy to see that in new vinyl . I feel like that is out of their control , so I don't hold that against them ...by jaybrown - General Discussion
Bumpin this .. Libretto - Gangsta Jazz vol.2 the album . I have to admit that I saw this on bandcamp a few times and passed it up without a listen . Rchecka hit me up and told me to check it out . Good lookin homie !!! This tape is dope !!!! Definitely worth every cent . Rchecka compared it to Jazzmatazz and I can definitely see that . Really great jazz instrumentals with a laid back lyricalby jaybrown - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
I have been buying records from Dustygroove for a little over 10 years now . I have yet to ever have an issue with them . I had 2 really warped records show up one time and they immediately made it right . Aside from that , zero issues . I noticed on their site that they had been asking for comments and suggestions lately . I sent a comment basically telling them how much I love their site . Pretby jaybrown - General Discussion
Millions of Dead Cops was a great first album and will always be my favorite . Metal Devil Cokes holds up to any other album in their catalog in my opinion . Once I heard John Wayne Was A Nazi , I knew that the Millions Of Dead Cops album would always stand out to me . I know in the scheme of things that's probably not their best song by far , but still my favorite and the reason I started lby jaybrown - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
