Being that the world is going through a pandemic right now already makes this mix memorable for me. I know we're all going through a rough time right now so I'm here to spread some some love to help you get through. Mint Condition is without a doubt my favorite R&B group from the 90's. They're like The Roots of R&B with a full band. I put together some of my favorite selections and hopefully they're some of yours too. Or maybe even hear something you've never heard before. I know I'll be playing this while I"m waiting in some drive through for my food or while I'm still isolating in the crib. Till the next one.

Best Of Mint Condition

Took it back to how I started on this one. Went back and recorded using the vinyl record crates that I used to DJ parties with before I switched to digital. Using these songs and the actual records brings me back to the days I don't miss when I'd have to lug around a whole bunch of heavy crates and a DJ coffin. My back hurts just thinking about it. This mix feels like a time capsule for real. Shouts to my Kuya Tribe bros DJ Kuya D and DJ Delinger who came through on this one. Till next time. Peace.

Little Brother Mix

Q-Tip is possibly my favorite artist. I've learned so much from just studying his catalog over the years. Without his influence, my personal taste and every way I perceive music would be totally different. So with Summer upon us I just felt like doing something fun and paying homage to the legend while we all wait for the new album to come out.  Hope you like it.

All Things Abstract

It's been a long time I know I know. But I'm finally back and here for good. It's been a few years since I dropped a slow jam mix. With Valentine's Day around the corner I figured it's a good time for a new one. 2017 was a busy year of me trying to work on my production chops and I'm still working on it. But I'm definitely going to keep feeding the streets with mixes more frequently again because I'm a DJ first. 
Hope you guys enjoy this latest mix and thanks for still listening. Nothing but love.
 

Break Ups & Make Ups

Back again with another mix for you guys.  With all the craziness going on in the world these days I just wanted to come with something fun for Summer.  If this mix can make you forget about your problems, make you dance, laugh or smile then I did my job.  Here's to Summer or play this when you just want it to feel like it's Summer.

Another Summer Mix

Back again.  This time around I decided to come with an instrumental homage to the legendary Soul Brother #1 Pete Rock.  Lately I've just been tired of what I hear on the radio and just needed a dose of soul.  So who better than the Chocolate Boy Wonder.  All these beats are mixed together so you can have the longest freestyle session or DJ's can cut to this all the way through.  Can't provide a track listing because some of these beats just don't have names.  Anyways enjoy and I'll see you on the next go around.  

Soul Brother Instrumentals (Pete Rock Beats)

Finally back and this time around just wanted to spread some love to all of you the best way I know how.  Put together this short set to take you through the ups and downs of love.  Hope you can relate.  

Love Joint

Finally back again.  This time around I'm focusing on the legendary DJ Premier.  I remember buying whole albums as a kid just to hear the one track DJ Premier produced.  Anyways take a listen and hopfully you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.  

Mucho Preemo (A Tribute To DJ Premier)

This mix is just how I'm feeling at the moment.  A little mix of songs that I'm personally into where we can all just stop, relax and take time to enjoy these Summer nights.  Enjoy.  

Random Summer Nights 2015

It's been a minute since I made something new but this one is different.  As a kid listening to mixtapes, I always loved listening to blends.  It was always amazed me how a different beat to a song can give it new life and a whole different feel.  So this mix is basically me paying homage to all the blend tape DJ's that came before me and putting my own twist to it.  I won't even list the beats blended to kind of give an element of surprise.

Nothing But Blends

Mos Def is undoubtedly a legend and all time great in the rap game.  As pure a lyricist as they come with plenty of style to match.  I make single artist mixes as a way of paying homage to all of the artists and musicians that I listen to and respect so this one was long overdue.  If you're not familiar with the man's catalog here's a nice little run through some of his choice cuts to get you familiar.  This one's for Brooklyn.  
 

Journey Through Mos

 
It's getting cold out here in the east coast.  Figured it'd be a good time to drop some smooth relaxing tunes for those cold nights and late night drives.  
 

After Dark

There's not a lot of new school rappers that I'm a fan of these days.  But this guy Kendrick Lamar is an obvious exception.  The man is a brilliant writer, has a great sense of history, and really understands what Hip Hop is all about.  So here's my tribute to showcase not only Kendrick's catalog but the samples that made the songs possible. 

Behind The Beat Part 5 (Kendrick Lamar Edition)

The official start to Summer is this weekend and I felt like giving you guys a little something to get you ready.  Play this at the beach, picnics, or even just to feel like you're at the beach when you're really at work.  Enjoy everybody!
 

Summertime Vibes

Back again with another installment of the Behind The Beat series which showcases original samples used in Hip Hop.  This time around I decided to focus on the brilliant ear of 9th Wonder.  9th has been one of my favorites pretty much since Little Brother's The Listening dropped almost 10 years ago.  Since then he's went on to producer for everybody from Jay-Z, Destiny's Child, Mary J. Blige, Erykah Badu, Ludacris, and the list goes on and on.  So here's a selection of some of my favorite tracks produced by 9th Wonder paired up with the original sample.  And as always please give my podcast 5 stars on iTunes.  Thank you.
