Big Salute Ya Bornday! – Redman vs. Reggie Noble Manga Dolo
First of all, the Native Tongues are not an official Hip-Hop group, crew, click, organization, or squad. Unofficially, they are more than the all of the aforementioned. Here is the when, why, where and how. This story begins in the 1980’s in New York City. By this time, Harlem’s Kool DJ Red Alert is already a well-established and respected Hip-Hop DJ having rose to fame on WRKS 98.7 KISS FM. […]
California is a big, long state. Its a unique place because the populations are split by hundreds of miles of relatively, uninhabited farm land in the middle of the state- which literally and figuratively divides Northern from Southern California. Since 1977 I’ve moved back and forth between San Jose, San Diego, Fremont, San Rafael, Irvine and points in between. One particular move stands out in my mind. In 1991 […]
I've always been a grimy dude. I mean, don't get me wrong, I have great hygiene and keep a clean home and my whips always right. I just like raw raps and rugged beats - exactly what the Boot Camp Clik perfected by the time they brought forth Heltah Skeltah. This year marks the 25th anniversary of Health Skeltah's debut LP - the underground classic Nocturnal. It was 1996. By […]
In baseball, we call them 5-tool players. Those who could, run, throw, hit for average, hit for power, and field their position. Hip-Hop’s equivalent would be ProvySuflayy. Also known as U.l.t.r.a.man, Provy was born and raised in Oakland, California. He earned his following in hiphop by competing in local rap battles as well as performing at open mics and talent showcases in the Oakland- San Francisco Bay Area. Eventually, he […]
The irony is Underground Hip-Hop never dies. It thrives on its freedom. Freedom from contractural obligations, sponsorships, an fickle popular expectations. It is steadfast. A true and living example is Godfather Don. From the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, New York, Godfather Don rose to to prominence in 1991 with his solo debut “Hazardous”. He then went on to produce and rhyme with the inventors of Underground, backpack rap, Ultramagnectic MC’s […]
I recently caught up with underground icon and battle rap legend Megabusive of San Jose, California for a quick question and answer session. He speaks about his HipHop beginnings, five favorite albums, and we end it with a future thought. 1. Which HipHop element did you first gravitate to? - "First element I gravitated toward was break dancing, but everything else was soon to follow." 2. Who were […]
Another #BLAXRADIO exclusive interview featuring Amityville HipHop legend SuperStar of Horror City! More Daundaground Sound Profiles on the way!
So Prince Paul is socially awkward- like me. I mean we’re both kinda weird but functional. I guess that’s why I grew up liking his quirky, yet funky productions and DJ techniques. Oh yeah- since its April 2nd let me be the first to wish Prince Paul Hutson a big born day salute! I was about 11 years old when I first heard his Stetsasonic opus “Talkin’ All That Jazz”. Shortly […]
