I found a cd I made from 2003 on an old computer; it’s a compilation of some of the best club hip-hop from around 1999-2003. It features Ludacris, Styles, Nas, Mobb Deep, Alchemist, Pharoahe Monch, High & Mighty, Mos Def, Dilated Peoples, Killah Priest, Brand Nubian, Atmosphere and Wu-Tang. Enjoy again.

If you are in your 20′s and grew up listening to Hip-Hop music, you experienced a great musical culture – some of the best music came out of the 90′s and early 2000s. You also saw it mutate into various unsavoury forms as it became heavily commercialised (see: gangsta rap, crunk).
If you’re also a musician you’ve become influenced by the music but ultimately abandonded what the genre became. Post Hip-Hop is a movement that emerged to keep Hip-Hop alive. It is an experimentation of music, dance and art among young people just like what happened in late 70′s NYC.

J ROCC on Stones Throw has been putting out these Thank You mixtapes and they are incredible. Although this one is two years old now, it’s one of the best J Dilla mixtapes I have heard. Here is Act 3 of this amazing series. If you are unfamiliar with the late Hip-Hop legend check out his back catalogue on Stones Throw now.

Here are some of my favourite dubstep tracks from 2010 so far. If you heard Beast mix from last year, consider this the 2010 successor. Some really big tracks in this one. Enjoy!

Big up the Bristolian dubstep viewpoint. Guido, one third of the Purple Trinity is coming with the freshest sounds I have heard. The scope of his ideas is wide. For once not more of the same. Hear his debut Anidea on Punch Drunk records for more details. It is nuts really.
Sounds like there’s big video-game influence too. It’s like Streets of Rage 2010 re-release. There’s early 90′s RnB feel throughout a lot of his tunes, and I feel that tracks like ‘Shades of Blue‘ are picking up where ‘IDM’ left off. It reminds me of Autechre.
