Its cloudy and cold today in Baltimore.  Maybe the weather where you are is similarly gnarly? Maybe it isn’t…Either way, everybody knows that the most effective way to erase those winter blues is by listening to some hot Latin and Caribbean rhythms…and luckily DC’s Lil’ Elle sent this banging DJ mix over today…So buck up [...]

This one….in my humble opinion….is a fucking monster track.  It bumps, has a slick bassline that fits the Beenie Man vocal perfectly, plus enough choppin snare drums to snap every fucking kneecap from here to London…which is, coincidentaly,  the home of the man behind this remix…The Living Graham Bond…whom you may recall from his stellar [...]

No words can accurately describe the devastation we witnessed in Haiti over the past week…so I won’t even try and make an attempt….With that being said, I can’t think of a better way to raise money for the Haitian relief effort than to throw a big old dance party…Unless you were to go and [...]

In response to the new album, DJ Ayers from over at The Rub has put together an excellent mix of early Jay-Z cuts, proving that Jay has indeed lost his edge on the last couple of albums.  This is a great reminder on how good he is/was…and how good Ayers is at programming a mixtape.
D.O.J. [...]
