The Money Making Jam Boys just dropped their first mixtape, “The Prestige: Jam Boy Magic.” MMJB, consists of Black Thought from The Roots, Dice Raw, Truck North, P.O.R.N. and STS, with flawless production by Mick Boogie, ?uestlove, Frank Knuckles, and The Prestige.

Review of Dilla Changed my Life @ The Deaf Institue/Manchester
I’m sure the raucous celebration upon hearing a Frank N Dank song I’ve never heard at ‘J Dilla Changed My Life’ was not meant to make me feel inadequate, but when one of the MC’s mentioned the amount of “students here when my mates didn’t get a ticket” I got a sinking suspicion that this night could turn into an organised example of UK Hip-Hop snobbery.
The twitter tribute one-upmanship was still ringing in my ears, so maybe I was slightly cynical; but I was concerned that a ce

Mixtape: J. Period + John Legend + The Roots : WAKE UP!
Wake Up Radio! Is a compilation of that good good that gets your day started on a positive note. I’ve actually been focusing a lot more lately on the music I play first this in the morning, carefully crafting a playlist of both spiritually uplifting and motivating songs. Along comes this mixtape from J. Period, coinciding with my theory that we live better when we are exposed to quality music early in the day. This mixtape is hosted by Black Thought and pays enormous tribute to the influence of SOUL in the music of today.
Additional featured guests on WAKE UP! RADIO include Common, Q-Tip, Late Night host Jimmy Fallon, Nigerian songstress Nneka, Somali sensation K’NAAN, rising star Blu, Def Poet Mayda Del Valle and more, in addition to never-before-heard music from Black Thought and John Legend. Also look out for J.Period’s history-making “Our Generation” Remix, reuniting hip hop legends Pete Rock & CL Smooth, which was originally released online in November, and is also featured on WAKE UP! RADIO.Click the Image to Download and play at ANY time during the day.. This is great music.

J Dilla: Behind The Beat (Poster)
Back in 2005, photographer Raph Rashid was hoping to complete a book of hip-hop home studios by getting pics of J Dilla at work in Los Angeles. Unknown to all but a small circle of people at the time, J Dilla had been in and out of the hospital all year dealing with increasingly serious health problems. It was summer, during a brief period when Dilla was home, working on The Shining, looking and feeling good, when Raph came to take this picture. It was published with others later that year in his book Behind the Beat: Hip-Hop Home Studios.
Poster will be available for purchase through StonesThrow Feb 14

Isaac Hayes’ Hip-Hop Legacy (Article)
Isaac Hayes is committed to various Halls of Fame; his song writing and compositions are cited as some of the most influential of all time, his compositions soundtrack the dynamic generation that defines more of the great music we enjoy than any other single person, excluding possibly Michael Jackson, and yet most people my age (and under) will remember him being used, and allegedly abused as Chef in cartoon satire South Park, and the accompanying ‘hit single’ Chocolate Salty Balls.
Aside from his magical, atmospheric original music, Hayes represents an important shift in the story of Hip-Hop

I start to think and then I sink
Into the paper like I was ink
When I’m writing, I’m trapped in between the lines,
I escape when I finish the rhyme…
I got soul
