Betty Wright & The Roots: Grapes On A Vine ft. Lil’ Wayne by S-CurveRecords
Great to see or rather hear Betty Wright back in Action. Lil Waynes a bit too much on this track, appears redundant and sounds somewhat misplaced, but other than that its a proper soul tune. Suggested & found by Stephanie Krant via our top tunes group.
New german stuffff. Schowi just told me this guy’s part of the chimperator crew, who are some good friend from his hometown Stuttgart. So support and digg the this ‘Cro’ mixtape!
Also, show some love over at facebook.
Our good friends of Compost Records came up with the excellent debut album of ‘Pitchben’ earlier this month. Here’s the free track giveaway + all the other tracks as soundcloud teasers. Make sure you listen to ‘Stand Up’, my favourite track of this LP which reminds me of the cool early Breakbot sound.

Top Tunes are coming a bit late this month – we had our 7th anniversary this month and we kept busy doing these 8 bday mixtapes for you as well as the new YUM YUM Mixtape “The Dude”. Plus we had some issues with our servers (were under attack) and took us some time to figure that out, but its all good now, you just need to empty your browsers cache or wait for it to be gone in a few. So, hope you dont mind us being late. but here you go with this months Top Tunes Selection. Enjoy

YUM YUM Soul Break # 1 by Chrome (James & Bobby Purify, Freddie Scott, the Marvelettes), taken from our latest Mixtape “The Dude“. This is the first Soul Breakdown, pretty short at that, but its will be an entire series (10 parts) and if you paste them all together you will get one long Mixtape.
Heavy D tribute – Nuttin but love Cookin Soul remix by Cookin Soul
Even though i have witnessed all of Heavys releases throughout the years, i only really dug this one tune right here. His duet(?) with Super Cat from the 91 Don Dada Album. His Jamaican flow was impeccable. One of the many jamaicans in the then young Ny hiphop scene (Special Ed, Krs One, Latifah and almost everybody else..). Dem no worry we is still to this day a great reggae tune that brings back a lot of nice memories.
