Jahtari ft Solo Banton “Music Addict”

Although originally from 2009, it just came out in late 2011, or at least thats when it was available to me. Taken from the Solo Banton EP “Music Addict” Out via Juno peoples. Great tune and a current favourite of mine, fits in any mix and breaks down everything.

new Schlachthofbronx double single – Slowine / Dickie Riddim ft Warrior Queen /2 mad Anthems

These two guys have a good taste when it comes to food and even a better taste when it comes to the tunes they knock out. Homegrown heroes who are really fun to hang out with, that know their way around the bass, so let your body slowine to this one. 2 Great tunes from their forthcoming double single, expected on February 10th, in 9 days, of their new album “Dirty Dancing”. Epic title, i was even thinking of calling a club night like that, so that’s the proper Zeitgeist meine Herren!  The first one is a cumbia like slow & techy badboy called “Slowine” and the 2nd one is a minimal but tough dancehall tune called “Dickie Riddem”. The Bronx on their vocalist Warrior Queen: “Flow is wicked. Dutty as fuck. Dance pon di dickie.” Proper caribbean Anthem! Get it via Juno

Heavy D tribute – Nuttin but love Cookin Soul remix

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.
