New Gagle LP

I have been waiting for this for the past 2 months! When I heard the news that Japanese Hip-Hop power house Gagle was releasing a new album I was very anxious to see what they would do after True Music Value EP. They didn't let us down in any way! The album is as jazzy as ever and the lyrics by Hunger are delivered with the usual greatness. Enjoy this, and bump it loud!

Hifana

This group of percussionists/djs/ is absolutely insane! I really want to start something like this with a real hip-hop flavor so if you know anyone out there or are interested in doing it yourself please let me know. It would be crazy!!

Breakestra

I picked this up today in a local store in the bargain bin, and hot damn! It's Stones Throw Records' own Breakestra. I also found Brand Nubian's "Slow Down" De La Soul with production by Jay Dee on "Stakes Is High," which makes it my 3rd copy of that track and the 4th if you count another Jay Dee Remix! Also got some old Pete Rock and CL Smooth with "Straighten It Out." Not bad for 5 minutes at a small little joint and a total of $17. Everything was $4 and under. They also had some Slum Village and Common, but I already had the 12" singles. Anyways check out the Breakestra track at the Stones Throw website. Although the A side is pretty solid, check out the B side with "Remember Who You Are" It is a keeper for sure, funky as hell!

Old Mix

Bobby Caldwell and Common

Got It

I finally figured out what this song was all about.... Read the quotes in the description on youtube for this one. I never knew what happened with Baatin.

RIP.

Substantial

I have been trying to find this song in every record store I have ever been to in Japan and I have never seen it. If you know anyone that has it please hit me up I need this shit. This song has always made my head bob no matter the mood or time of day/night. I still have a few more stores to hit up so I am for now keeping my fingers crossed!
