Pete Rock “Delicious Vinyl 25th Anniversary Mix”

Monday, September 10th, 2012

Not sure how this mix has gone unnoticed for this long.

“The Stussy x Delicious Vinyl Collection celebrates the 25th Anniversary of the LA-based record label. The minor label started in the late 80s and became a major figure in the evolution of hip-hop through the early 90s with acts such as The Pharcyde, Masta Ace, Tone Loc, The Whoridas, Young MC and Brand New Heavies. They continue to maintain working relationships with these early artists and also support the next generation of musical talent including Dom Kennedy and Casey Veggies.”

Thanks to the King for the link. And check out the full line of Stussy x Delicious Vinyl shirts HERE.

Sounds of The 90s: The Remixes V. 2

Monday, March 7th, 2011

As promised monthly, here is the latest of Sounds of The 90s: The Remixes Volume 2. Each month we’ll be bringing you 10 remixes of the 90s we hold near and dear to our hearts. Let’s reminisce on these tracks and remember why we’re still listening to hip-hop today. Why we’re still on blogs such as ours where we get to relive the greatest era our music has ever seen.  As always, if you have a favorite remix and would like it to be included on future volumes be sure to send it our way or post it up on our forum. Look for the return of Sounds Like The 90s tomorrow! –PhilaflavaDownload V. 2

T.R.O.Y. Presents – Sounds Like The 90s Vol. 17

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

The last volume before the new year. While it was a pretty good year in hip-hop, there wasn’t an overwhelming amount of throwback tracks, thus us delivering you just 5 volumes of Sounds Like The 90s in ’10.

As many of you know, we do these compilations to capture an era that we all love. Some tracks do sound like the 90s, while others are artists from that era doing their thing. A few of these tracks have been out for awhile now, some even debuted on this site, but here is a tightly sequenced mix for the holidays. I wouldn’t normally put 3 tracks by one artist on a mix, but Kanye killed it this year (all 3 tracks not on the LP) and Q-Tip is responsible for 2 of those gems. There was no way I wasn’t putting these on for you guys.

Thanks to all the people that have supported over the years. We’ll continue to do these and we’re always keeping an open mind, so if you got something, don’t hesitate to link us. Props to Dirt_Dog and Strategy for helping–as always. Shouts to the entire T.R.O.Y. squad and our readers. Download link and front cover are below, back cover and tracklist are after the jump. Happy Holidays! –Philaflava

Jay Electronica “Announcement” and “Shiny Suit Theory” (ft. Jay-Z)

Monday, November 15th, 2010

Just the other day we asked our readers to respond to a poll concerning Jay Electronica’s recent announcement that he had joined Jay-Z’s Roc Nation roster. Many of the respondents expressed some amount of skepticism about the decision, and I have to admit that I shared their concerns. But lo and behold, in a move that surprised damned near everybody, Jay Electronica leaked two new songs in two days after a long absence. And they are both dope as fuck; “Announcement” is well, a triumphant announcement of um, triumph, and “Shiny Suit Theory” see the god stylin’ on a classic sample like he’s sailing on a cloud.

Now, the rest of the internet already posted these songs, but I offer to you a version of “Announcement” with the sampled JFK speech excised (big up to Verge for the editing job), “Shiny Suit Theory,” plus The Ambassadors “Ain’t Got The Love” which was sampled for “Shiny Suit Theory.” And just in case you forgot, you can listen to Pete Rock and CL Smooth’s slept on single “I Got A Love” which first sampled “Ain’t Got The Love” back in 1994.
