gimantalon, November 18th 2011 |Slick Rick – Behind Bars (Unreleased ’92 Prince Paul Version) CDQ
I’ve only heard a 30 second rip from this track before, I don’t know if you heard more… But this is the full CDQ version of the notorious unreleased Prince Paul mix. Some little background story: When Slick Rick was incarcerated in 1992 he recorded this song with Prince Paul. The song didn’t come out until 1994 but to Prince Paul’s surprise it was remixed by Warren G and Def Jam scrapped his mix. Price Paul was still on the credits with the other composers, but it wasn’t the original version. It looks like something typical Def Jam style. But Slick Rick is the master though, what a unique artist. And together with Prince Paul??!! Damn. Something we miss nowadays, enjoy:

K-Def – Supa Heath (Prod. by K-Def)
New one from Redefinition Records! This one is called “Supa Heath” which is a nod to the original sources that inspired K-Def’s creation. Incredibly, this beat features no samples… all of the sounds you hear were replayed/reprogrammed masterfully by K-Def himself. This version appears on K-Def’s upcoming “Night Shift” project which will be available in December 2011 on vinyl, cd, cassette & mp3 on Redefinition Records. Night Shift features 2 vocal tracks (INI’s Rob O and Panacea’s Raw Poetic are featured) as well as a handful of covers and original instrumentals. An alternate version of “Supa Heath” track was made available last week on flexi disc vinyl but has since been sold out. Real diggers (like me) know Redef stands for quality releases we need and are hard to find in 2011… very hard! Respect!

DJ Premier Confirms Heavy D Was Working On “Blue Funk 2”
While everybody from the hip hop industry and fans are mourning of another legend we lost a lot of his close friends still can’t understand how this happened so fast. DJ Premier told us he and Heavy D talked with each other no too long ago that he was working on another “Blue Funk” album called “Blue Funk 2”. “Blue Funk” was released on January 12, 1993 for Uptown Records and was produced by DJ Eddie F, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Jesse West aka 3rd Eye and Tony Dofat. Blue Funk made it to #40 on the Billboard 200 and #7 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and was certified gold. The album spawned three singles, “Who’s the Man”, “Blue Funk” and “Truthful”. Guests on the album include Terri & Monica, 3rd Eye, Busta Rhymes, Guru, Rob-O and for the first time The Notorious B.I.G. Till this day still considered to be a classic (next to his other classics) he wanted to go back today to the hip hop basic roots by releasing “Blue Funk 2”.
Cousin Pete Rock told us later today he already finished a song with him 2 weeks ago and that everything was looking fine. “We did something. I finished something with him like two weeks ago, finished. When people call you that don’t call you and then your phone is just blowing up with those kind of calls, my stomach got kind of weak. DJ Scratch called me first because that’s my homie, and he let me know,” he continued. “I felt like he was my guider, the person who put me in place. He was my number one believer.”
He made a lot of good music and opened a lot of doors for a lot of people, R.I.P. Mr. Legend!
DJ Premier will probably doing a tribute for Heavy D on his weekly radio show on Sirius XM this friday.

R.I.P. Dwight “Heavy D” Arrington Myers (May 24, 1967 – November 8, 2011)
Rap legend Heavy D — one of the most influential rappers of the ’90s — died earlier today … TMZ has learned. Heavy D — real name Dwight Arrington Myers — was rushed to an L.A. hospital around noon today … and was pronounced dead at the hospital at 1 PM. He was 44 years old. We’ve learned a 911 call was placed from Heavy’s Beverly Hills home around 11:25 AM to report an unconscious male on the walkway . When help arrived, we’re told Heavy D was conscious and speaking — and was transported to a nearby hospital. He died a short time later. Cops are investigating the death — and so far, there are no obvious signs of foul play. Heavy D had several massive hits — including “Now That We Found Love.” He also wrote and performed the theme song for “In Living Color” … and appeared as an actor in the movie “Life.” Heavy just performed at the Michael Jackson Tribute Concert in Wales on October 8. He sang “Jam” with La Toya Jackson — and rocked it.
We just lost another legend… Too soon. My condolence too his family and close friends, cousins Pete Rock & Grap Luva. May you rest in piece and we’ll never forget what you did for hip hop!! We already miss you…
DJ Premier produced two track for Heavy D on his album “Blue Funk” in 1992.
You now above us meeting up with the other greats, rip. This was his last very strong message he left for the world:
🙁
