DJ Melodic One-10 min Youtube mix and podcast!

I just finished doing a mix that you can preview the first ten minutes of here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMThWQPOrvw . If you check the newest installation of the Mixtapes From Tha Reaper's (www.tapesfromthareaper.podomatic.com) you can download the entire 40 min mix!

This mix is for my appreciation of given the oppurtunity to DJ at the Lakewood Streetwalk Fest 2009 in which I had a blast doing a lengthy 3+ hours of live mixing, telling bad jokes on the mic, and breakdancing with some kids! I am hoping that this positive event inwhich I helped throw together, is a hope for more future gigs to come.

I also had the oppurtunity to DJ for a B-Boy collective known as The Cleveland City Breakers. You can peep a B-Boy session with them and others here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCV_7VU4Afw&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eyoutube%2Ecom%2Fuser%2Flakewoodalive&feature=player_profilepage .

Words From Tha Reaper

I have been listening to various underground hip hop artists of late, and would like to recommend some artists worth noting. When I say hip hop artists... Im talking about artists representing all elements of hip hop ( DJ,MC,Graf Writer,Beatboxer,Etc... ) So if this post seems a bit schizo due to me shouting a graff writer, then jumping on a DJ or whoever. Now you know why!








I have been listening to Oddisee who is a skilled producer and emcee from Washington, DC who has been making excellent soulful hip hop of late. His lyrical abilities deal with real life encounters, and about what hip hop is about in his viewpoint. His beats are some of the most soulful that I have heard in recent times. almost reminds of some early Pete Rock /LMNO type beats. To me this dude seems like he is a Golden Era revivalist, which in my opinion is a hip hop artist who is creating early boom-bap inspired hip hop for those of my generation who lack in hip hop history. We really do need more emcee's like Oddisee who collabs with artists all over the globe to bring back that real boom bap! Check out: Oddisee-Mental Liberation EP out now!






I have also been digging some graffiti artwork from an artist named Beast. View his work here: http://www.graffiti.org/act_beast/actbeast_3.html

And lastly.. If you haven't already done so.
