Artist Track Album Label Year Comments New Approx. start time
PTNOTRemixProject  murder shoot kill nyc (show intro)   Favoriting     2019  taken from collage of NYC TV news clips from opening of a 2019 Mic Handz & Milano Constantine track rearranged a bit and mixed down to about 48 seconds  *   0:00:00 (Pop-up)
Won87  5:55   Favoriting     2019  non-emcee/rap track from San Diego’s Won87 whose music been playing a bit of late. In addition to bugged beats and breaks, the song “5:55” (titled after its length) features a long sample of Charlie Chaplin from “The Great Dictator” - the 1940’s film’s inspirational speech for humanity - that eight decades later resonates just as clearly as it did when Chaplin made the five-star satirical film. imdb movie description: “After dedicated service in the Great War, a Jewish barber (Charles Chaplin) spends years in an army hospital recovering from his wounds, unaware of the simultaneous rise of fascist dictator Adenoid Hynkel (also Chaplin) and his anti-Semitic policies. When the barber, who bears a remarkable resemblance to Hynkel, returns to his quiet neighborhood, he is stunned by the brutal changes and recklessly joins a beautiful girl (Paulette Goddard) and her neighbors in rebelling” - watch original video of speech from movie here = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMKpYxhI2KI  *   0:01:59 (Pop-up)
Blu & Exile  Power to the People (feat. Choosey, Johaz, Cashus King, Aloe Blacc, Fashawn & Blame One)   Favoriting True & Livin' EP 12"  Dirty Science  2019  Released on vinyl last week - when I had G Spot on show and did not play new music - so had to play this track today and now right after previous track by Won87’s with its use of the The Great Dictator speech since the message is similarly on point.

Illa X Diatribe  Very Clear   Favoriting Very Clear EP    2019  #IrishHipHop as noted by GingerSlim of this new Irish hip-hop track (EP out today) “Dublin and Derry connect on this new one from Kynz Illa of Grim Pickinz and Danny Diatribe. Very Clear is the title track from the duo’s EP and the video was shot on location in Amsterdam. Stay tuned for more videos coming soon.” Love the accents and Irish cultural references throughout.

San & Peter Leo  Beginning Thought   Favoriting     2019  As noted by EarMilk “NY based lyricist Peter Leo teams up with South African producer SAN the Instru-Monumentalist for a full-length project titled 'The Will of the Genji'. Their newest and third single "Beginning Thought" displays the duo in their element with SAN crafting a solemn backdrop for Leo's superb storytelling skills” Track dropped 3 weeks ago via SoundCloud = https://soundcloud.com/peterleo/beginning-thought-prod-by-san-the-instru-monumentalist  *   0:20:16 (Pop-up)
C Keys & Kazi  To Whom It May Concern   Favoriting Keys 2 Kazi  Below System Records  2019  press release: “Bay area born emcee C Keys and Oxnard CA native Kazi initially linked up and the completion of their first full-length work together. Released via Below System Records, "Keys 2 Kazi" is twenty three tracks of cosmic funkin', lo-fi smackin' beats and soundscapes that slip effortlessly between bangers, sound collages and soulful joints. Though well known for his emcee work over the past two decades with such notable friends as Madlib, Oh No and The Lootpack, the upcoming release is a grand showcase of Kazi's work as a producer and only appearing on one song as a lyricist. Speaking on the album Kazi said "it’s dirty, dirty, dirty beats and puts me in the mindset of a 90's album." Though the duo can't agree on what year they initially met (when C Keys was known as The Infamous MC) they can agree that the seeds for the album started in 2016. C Keys relates "Over the past decade and a half, I have pretty much retreated from the music industry partly due to being disgusted by it and partly to take care of my family. However Kazi and I stayed in touch and he hit me up a few years back saying that he wanted to step back from emceeing and that he had some beats that he thinks my voice would complement really well. I told Kazi that I would listen but if I decided to do this, I would make this album very personal. So personal that all the verses were improvisational freestyled into my phone voice command." That's exactly what C Keys did approaching the tracks with improvisational lyrics and very little preparation that are very personal looks into his life throughout time. These tracks/stories include "Zoning" which is a highly autobiographical and honest remembrance about Keys exes. "Must Be The Liquor" (feat. Dex) which is a comical and disturbing audio equivalent of the Hangover movies, "The Streets" (feat. Hexsagon, DJ Transe and Kazi also makes an appearance on the mic) is reflections on where he came from and the pitfalls that hold people there. Other guests on the album who share the vision include Dubbler, Cornbread, Guilty Simpson and Mikial.”  *   0:22:34 (Pop-up)

Billy Jam:

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness - not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there's room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls - has barricaded the world with hate - has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man - cries for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say: 'Do not despair.' The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you and enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don't hate, only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St Luke, it is written the kingdom of God is within man not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people, have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful - to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason - a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness. Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us unite!" - Charlie Chaplin from "The Great Dictator" (1940)
