Bekay – Hunger Pains (Coalmine Records)

Wassup everybody!! Like I did a several times, I want to help more friends with this blog (that has more visitors than expected / wanted). I promise you, I listen to a lot of hip-hop but this album got me into discussion with my friends and they all co-signed, one of the best this year. I said that a couple of times this year, actually, exact a couple of times, so in my opinion it’s the 3rd best album of the year. You heard it right people!! I’ll help you all to get into it, lets go!! Three tracks were produced by Shuko (from Germany, worked with OC, Big Noyd and more), and he is totally Preemish if you know what I mean. Bekay‘s latest video clip is produced by him named “Bloodsport“, check this first one out:

I promise you, all his beats sounds like bangers!! The album is featured with respected artists like Masta Ace, DJ Revolution, R.A. The Rugged Man, Heltah Skeltah, Wordsworth, Saigon and even Inspectah Deck!! You can tell Bekay really worked hard to get the co sign of follow artists, but also respected producers gave him credit, beatmakers like Alchemist, DJ Babu, J.R. Rotem and Marco Polo!! The Masta Ace track was actually the first single of his album and was already in heavy rotation on real rough hip-hop channels (like Preems channel), go check it out:

Still not convinced? Now it’s my time, I’m going to pick the realest track of the album, the dopest Marco Polo track of this year! Judge yourself, featuring R.A. The Rugged Man:

Bekay – Pipe Dreams (Feat. R.A. The Rugged Man) (Prod. by Marco Polo)

Bekay – Pipe Dreams (Feat. R.A. The Rugged Man) (Prod. by Marco Polo) (Instrumental)

And yes, I added co signing of DJ Premier himself to the track, the evidence is there. But don’t worry, the track itself is CDQ.

Now I know a lot of my visitors that are reading this have this feeling, “I already know this artists, I already supported the guy” (like me). But when you know some history facts of him you will say “That’s wassup”. He doesn’t fuck with the major, he doesn’t fuck with the commercial shit, why? Born and raised in Brooklyn he started to rhyme very young. Follow friend Brooklyn star Ol’ Dirty Bastard (R.I.P.) recorded one of his last rhymes on a single of Bekay named “Where Brooklyn At?“, one week before they were going to shoot the clip he passed away. So the label T.S.O.B. Records forwarded they still wanted to do the clip because there eyes were turning green, you feel me? Why not profit from his death like they always do. Bekay didn’t fucked with that and leaved the label. Now signed to indie label Coalmine Records they are starting to make something complete. With great visions and a lot of mutual respect to the hip-hop community. That’s the main reason I’m writing this, respect needed to be deserved. Money is second, it’s necessary to survive, but second. And like DJ Premier said, wack is wack and dope is dope, underground will live for ever baby! I would like to thank everybody for reading, I mean EVERYBODY!! Support this my friends, try to show your genre love, you can buy it here:

Questions can be asked in the comments!

NYGz – Ready?

DJ Premier talked about this record before, it was the beat that 50 Cent rejected but then suddenly used as a loop due to fans request called “Shut Ur Bloodclot Mouth“. When 50 Cent rejected the beat Preem gave it to NYGz for their upcoming album. Now we have the full version of the track and it’s fiiiiiiiire. Lol, you could use 50 cent part and add it on the track, then you have NYGz featuring 50 Cent, yeaaaaaaaaah!! I should do PR. And do you remember me saying it would be dope to have a track with the full Year Round Records roster (I wroted it in the comments)? Well, that track is in the making and is going to be released on “Hustler’s Union: Local NYG” (Yeah, album title changed, not “Pros N Cons” anymore), and each artist will have a different beat yaya! Even Shabeeno and Panchi! Enjoy now the CDQ for your stereo:

DJ Premier Set on Scratchvision.com

I ripped the whole free show with DJ Premier for y’all but it wasn’t easy considering the output quality isn’t direct from his mixer. But whatever, he played some exclusive Pete Rock, NYGz and a beat from “Beats That Collected Dust Vol. 2”. So he didn’t forget about that project. DJ Premier also told us he finished the song “Project Boy” for Joell Ortiz upcoming album “Free Agent” who got a (hopefully) final release date of 23th of february. Also like I said thousand of times, I highly doubt there is going to be a Preem track on Snoop Dogg‘s next LP. If you believe his leaked ‘tracklist’ then this should be produced by DJ Premier… Oh yeah, and Panchi said the new NYGz album is still coming this year. I like him. Now try to enjoy the world of Ustream and LiveStream together with Premoooo:

What is for You the Best DJ Premier beat of 2009?; VOTE!!

Time flies, say that again. And like last year I’m asking you guys to vote for the best DJ Premier beat of this year.

I know some of you will have it hard to decide, but think/sleep/dream about it and make your vote on time! You have 59 days and then we go into the year 2010. Too bad we didn’t had a Gang Starr reunion this year on their 20 years anniversary, but it’s for everybody recession! Now I’m feeling like an award show, maybe I can create something and send the award to New York! It’s a long list, but the nominees are:

Track 4 on Royce da 5’9″ “Street Hop”. Listen here.

You heard everything, then make you vote! I’m started this poll earlier so we can get more votes so it can gives us a more accurate view on the standings. I really don’t have a clue who is going to have the most vote, but I do know some will run away with it! Thanks for reading and vote!! I wouldn’t do this if I it wasn’t of the visitors I can help!!!

btw, sorry if Bumpy Knuckles “Amerikkan Black Man” was the best beat of 2009 (here) (is his album coming in 2010?), or “Stretch Marks And Cigarette Burns”, had to cut… Actually funny, we saw “Tha Blaqprint” and “Street Hop”, how long did we wait on this? Damn…

What is your Age, Homie?; Results

I always wondered what the age of my visitors was, it’s a very useful number because then you could see whether older DJ Premier fans got their way to the internet or not. And I’m a happy human been with the results. I can proudly type that 68% of my visitors is older than me, now you know a little bit more about me you haters. The quote that age is just a number is onces proved. Second, I would like to thank everybody for their vote. The poll got a number of 1960 fucking votes, that’s wassup!! And to show my Excel skills I’ve made a graphic of the results:

<16y, 75
16-20y, 519
21-25y, 588
26-30y, 348
31-35y, 280
>35y, 150

I wonder who is the oldest visitor? Or the youngest?
