No Religion
Worst Rapper of All Time?The “Bible of Hip Hop” took a downturn some time ago however I still found quality news and politics pieces from time to time. That time ended about a year ago when I stopped thumbing through the mag at my local Barnes & Nobles. Anyway, this was one of my windows into hip hop when I was just a shorty in tha town so it was particularly dissapointing to watch its downfall. But this absurd tragedy has turned comedy with Benzino* acting a fool on Ozone Magazine Founder and EIC Julia Beverly’s voicemail. Wow.Just a sneak pic at Benzino’s elementary verbal arsenal: …F*cking prostitute, cracker, f*cking-man-b*tch, you!”Get ‘Em Daddy!
DJ Makala – Soul Clap Mix
Not the usual mix you hear on DSFL but I believe most long time visitors to the site will love the supremely fantastic Soul/Funk tunes featured within this mix. Northern Soul, as my UK heads call it, is on full display in this mix by Spain’s DJ Makala. Although many of the tunes are not from the 1950’s nor 1960’s they all follow the same Northern Soul vibe.

Fake Blood – Get Myself Together
It has been a while since we’ve heard from UK producer Fake Blood, but when I caught word of his newest EP release, Waiting, I was reminded of just how much I love his music. Get Myself Together is a great example of how a producer can build upon the sound he/she is known for but reinvent and create a new style that is just as appealing and reinvigorating to hear. This track will have you suddenly getting up, dancing and hitting repeat just to get all of your energy out. Boom.
