Kanye West & Jay-Z Feat. Otis Redding – Otis

Jay-Z and Kanye West Lolling Outta Control
I love the line… “I made Jesus Walks I’m never going to hell”. Ah… sorry Kanye. I’m not a religious man, but I am pretty sure it doesn’t work like that. Make a song about Jesus and then you get a green light from the authorities in heaven to engage in whatever debauchery tickles your fancy.

That Kween G is a problem. While I was away eating tacos and trying not to get kidnapped by taxi drivers, she was filling in on my show plotting a coup. This is her interview with Kurtis Blow backstage at Tone Nightclub in Sydney, before his performance. Pssssttt… whatever.

In Love With A Stripper

Vodpod videos no longer available.


Since when did R&B turn into really bad dance music? Not interested in a night of Fatman Scoop with David Guetta clones? Shiiiittt… seems the only places that you can hear new club R&B and Hip Hop in Sydney is at Snapback, Levin’s sets at Halfway Crooks and DJ Leon Smith playing at strip club/nightspot Bada Bing.

While most R&B DJs are content peddling the same hits each week, Leon is one of the few that is pushing new R&B and Hip Hop. Leon popped in the studio to play a set of tunes that strippers like to get naked too.

Sample Snitching: Busta Rhymes Busted!

The Diplomats! Not to be confused with Dipset. Their music is a little bit less about cooking crack and more to do with the deep feelings one experiences during a relationship. Here is a track that was sampled by Grind Music (LV & Sean C) for The Hitmen to create a Busta Rhymes banger.

Sample Snitching: Three Six Mafia – Stay Fly | Willie Hutch – Tell Me Why Our Love Turned Cold


Willie Hutch! Doesn’t he look good here at Soul Train. Willie was a singer songwriter, but also a producer for Motown working on songs with the Jackson 5, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye and also did the soundtracks for ‘Foxy Brown’ and ‘The Mack’. He also had his own fair share of success as a recording artist. This track comes off his 1973 album ‘Full Exposed’ and was nabbed by Three 6 Mafia.

Live on Colombia’s Jack Radio

Vodpod videos no longer available.
Yeah… umm… I am much more comfortable asking the questions, than having to come up with opinions and stories on demand. Even so, I did have a most pleasant time when I was given the opportunity to appear on Colombian English language radio show Jack Radio broadcast from Medellin’s University of Antioquia.

Run by two upstanding American gentlemen, Jeff and Robin, the show plays a range of amazing music from around the world with a special commitment to showcasing Colombian talent. The show is just one component of their empire, which includes Colombian music, fashion and culture magazine, Jack Magazine, and some darn good parties.

Chickity-Check out this episode of Jack Radio for a bit of Cumbia, Moombahton, Reggaeton, Reggae, Colombian hip hop and myself showcasing some Australian hip hop.

Colombian Cocaine Fight to Celebrate Final Win


In Colombia cocaine is dirt cheap and abundant. So much so it is more economical to do a line of blow before work, than have your soy latte. So in Medellin when the home team, Atletico Nacional, win the Colombian Football League grand final, all of a sudden these massive bags of coke appear from nowhere and there is a big cocaine fight in the streets to celebrate. People throwing bags of the stuff at each other. Daniel and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

MP3: Some Guys – Atletico Nacional Anthem

MP3: Crew Peligrosos – De La B ft DJ Luigui

I will post some of his other tapes over the next few weeks but for now here is  ” Breaks For Days” a killer tape full of deep breaks and uncut funk. Also thrown in are a few cheeky Paul Nice bootlegs as a side serve.
