Live Radio Special: Rap Soundtracks
Played two hours of rap songs that were soundtrack exclusives this past Monday on Ronan’s Hippopotamus Rex show on PBS-FM. Turns out neither of us could remember many of the films… Live Radio Special: Rap Soundtracks
Intelligent Hoodlum – No Justice, No Peace [Pete Rock Mix] / The Rebel Returns [Demo]
Some demo action to soundtrack your Saturday night. Intelligent Hoodlum – ‘No Justice, No Peace [Pete Rock Mix]‘ As heard on WBLS’ In Control and Tim Westwood’s Capitol Rap show before the Intelligent Hoodlum album was released. The album version, credited to Marley Marl, features a snippet of the same horn and sharper drums. Not…
Big Daddy Kane – Raw [45 King Remix]
Taken from an episode of Kool DJ Red Alert’s KISS-FM show from 1988. Not sure if this is a radio blend with a 45 King instrumental or something he cooked-up for Red exclusively – either way, it’s a good time. Is this a lost 45 King remix or am I bugging? It sounds like one…
CRC on PBS-FM: 14th July 2025
Cheers to Ronan for inviting me to play some music on his long-running rap radio show 1, Hippopotamus Rex, this past Monday. Just for kicks, I burnt some of my home-made remixes onto a CD and grabbed some white label records to play. We also talked about stout! Download: Hippopotamus Rex, Monday 14th July 2025…
Genovese and Stan Ipcus – Don’t Get It Twisted b/w Heaven and Hell ’24 [CRC Remixes]
So I needed a change of pace after the book and went back to making rap music, something I hadn’t done since the late nineties. Luckily Stan Ipcus and Genovese (hailing from White Plains and Yonkers, respectively) were down to let me make my own versions of their recent stuff so I wasn’t stuck doing…
Powerule feat. Noreaga – Well Connected [Original Version]
Prince Powerule and the crew might have set some kind of record, having released singles on six different labels 1989 and 2017. A couple of years after their excellent Hydra Entertainment single ‘Dawn To Dusk’, the trio released another winner on Dolo Records (owned by Stretch Armstrong and a dude from Atlantic Records). The Stretchinator…
The L.O.X. feat. Black Rob – Can I Live [Original Version]
When I found this version of ‘Can I Live’ on a Stretch Armstrong Show recording from 1997, complete with some abrasive Jimi Hendrix guitar chops, I was expecting B.R. to close off the song the same way he did on the retail mix. Turns out this was originally a L.O.X. song with Rob on the…
Capone-N-Noreaga – The Raw Report [Unkut Bootleg]
In recent times I’ve spent a bit of time tracking down an assortment of rap bootlegs and white labels, chasing the buzz of finding alternative versions of old favorites. And it turns out that the 25 To Life Entertainment crew have more than their fair share of demo mixes from the legendary The War Report…
Download: The Unkut 40 Oz. 2024
After a four-year hiatus, I’m bringing back the end-of-year 40 Oz. compilation! In a year where I spent a lot of time tracking down old and new rap CDs (and even managed to get my filthy mitts on some new rap vinyl), it was reassuring to hear that Conservative Rap Coalition approved rap is thriving…
A Tribute To DJ Clark Kent [Live Radio Broadcast]
I wasn’t planning on putting together a musical dedication to the late, great DJ Clark Kent, since I’d already done a compilation of his production efforts back in April, but when Lee called the CRC hotline I had no choice but to head to PBS-FM with a bag full of records. A Tribute To DJ…

New track from DJ Rude One, from the Upper Space album, which is out on 18th October. Pre-order the vinyl here. Upper Space by DJ Rude One
