Dj Cream - Nique la Musique de France


This tape is one of the most legendary tapes ever released in France.
The title translates as Fuck the French Music and relates to the classic French music style wich is quite opposed to the hardcore French rap you hear on this tape.
This is a true concept tape with a fantastic intro where you hear the dj scratching on rappers insulting classic French music through his cuts, the background music of the intro is also the instrumental of Shitsquad wich starred on the Chronique de Mars compilation and is one of the biggest hits ever in French rap.
The rest of the tape is simply the best French rappers of that era and both dj's Bots & Cream putting big work in providing nice cuts and raw mixing.
If you want an introduction to French rap make sure you cop this one!
This was released on the Passe-Passe label in the spring of 1998 and was a massive hit throughout France,Belgium,Switzerland & Quebec.

Dj Grazzhoppa : a little presentation

It's time for a little presentation of Belgian hip-hop legend Dj Grazzhoppa.

Active in the hip-hop scene since the mid eighties , he started with TLP Belgium's first hip hop band 'Rhyme Cut Core'. Being skillfull on the turntables as he is he became European Dmc champion in 1991.
He was also the first Belgian dj who made mixtapes ( to my knowledge) and was active with Belgium's most known hip hop group De Puta Madre.
Besides being a great dj he is also a producer.He worked together with Greedy Fingers ,Blade, Mf Doom,Necro....the list is endless.
More detailed biography can be found here.
His latest work include his dj big band where he putted some of the best dj's in the world together and formed a 'big band' wich has been touring all over since a couple of years, more info on this dj bigband on http://www.djbigband.com/.
He has a new album comming out called Gemini, a soulfull collaboration with his spouse, samples can be listened on his myspace page.


But as you know here at Tapediggers we're all about mixtapes and Grazz produced a lot of them, and we can truly say they are quality tapes : the selections, the ideas,the concept, the crazy cuts...nothing more to add than just cop this shit and see how a mixtape really should be!

Cut Killer is the most skilled mixtape dj in Europe and the most known hip-hop dj from France .

Stone Love vs Bodyguard - 1998


This time we got some exclusive shit for the dancehall massive out there.

A tape we copped some 10 years ago in Jamaica . A party tape where the two biggest Jamaican soundsystems clash and some of the best artists of that time come on stage.

It was a time when the brukout and the bookshelf riddim were the biggest tunes in a Jamaica and Bounty Killer and Beenie Man were rivals for the title of King of The Dancehall.
You hear parts of their beef on this tape , for the rest you hear the usual stuff from Jamaica : Roundhead insulting the police and the government , Spragga Benz asking the massive to light dem lighters, Bounty Killer giving a speach about the danger of the opening of a gay nightclub in Kingston and so on .. y'all know how they feel about those things in Jamaica ...

Great performances , lots of artists , you will get a feel of how a Jamaican bashment was in the ninetees!

Dj HMD - New Jack Swing V1


At Tapediggers we were quite surprised seeing Tapemasta putting a Dj HMD mixtape on his blog.
Dj HMD is a dj from our city Brussels who is quite controversial. Controversial because at one time in the ninetees he was flooding the market with cheap tapes where he just putted the newest releases on without doing more work to actually mix the songs , at that time lots of people like us weren't down with that kind of mass production...
But HMD did also some special series where he always made a nice selection so we tought maybe we'll hit you with one of these.
This one is a special New Jack Swing , with some quite rare gems on it .
For the younger folks , new jack swing is the music you hear when you play radio CRS on GTA San Andreas !
