Dj LBR - Strictly Hip-Hop

DJ LBR was without a doubt one of the best dj's in France during the 90's.

French dmc vice-champion in 88, that year also marks his radio debut at radio Nova . Founding member of the double h dj crew dj LBR crosses the Atlantic in 1998 to sign to the famous AV8 record label (one of the famous party record labels in New York), where he becomes their main act along with Crooklyn Clan and Fatman Scoop.

Unfortunately over the years he turned commercial and switched styles. He is now a house music dj.

Lucky for us he made a good series of mixtapes, the ' Down with the King' series wich will also feature on this blog but as a treat we first serve you his first tape that came out in 97.

A nice little hip-hop gem with freestyles from the likes of Gravediggaz, Sages Poetes de la Rue , Kohndo and a smooth selection perfectly mixed by LBR.

Dj Iron & Kid Calico - The Showdown

Dj Iron has been an household name in the Belgian hip-hop scene for many years. Originating from the Belgian costal area he started mixing at an early 15 years old. He soon began making his own mixtapes wich he first distibuted at school and to his friends. He quickly made a name with his tapes wich where being sold through Ghent and the rest of Flanders.
Started producing some years later he is known for his raw & funky tracks wich would take him on to produce tracks for US rappers like El Gant, Planet Asia, Jamalski, Tableek & El Da Sensei.
He is also a member of the Dj Grazzhoppa Dj Bigband with whom he would tour all over Europe and demonstrate his skills on different stages.Being one of the creators of the Earquake label wich released several vinyls for the underground market and with many new projects yet to come time will tell where his talent will take him…
To introduce him we’ll start with his Showdown mixtape wich came out in 2004 and became a classic mixtape since then. The concept of this mixtape was to make something totally new with classic 90’s hip-hop songs. Every song on this mixtape is an unique blend, mixed and scratched together alongside Kid Calico. This unique tape brings backs the true essence of 90’s hip-hop.

Cut Killer - Tape 5 : special East & Fabe

What happens when you put the two best French mc's and the best dj together to make a tape?

Chances are you get a classic tape.

And this one is pure classic. This tape dissapearing over the years added more weight to its legendary status it already had when it came out in 1995.

The first one of a serie of tapes where Cut Killer invited rappers on his mixtapes, those tapes combined their freestyles with the best tracks of the moment cutted and mixed together by France's number 1.

East , a long time friend of Cut Killer got the honour to be the first guest alongside with Fabe. You get a great freestyle from them followed with some bangers of the moment from artists like KMD, Kurious & Da King and I .The first side finishes off with a nice reggae-hip hop blend session.

The flipside is more on an R&B tip with some smooth vibes from people like X-Scape , Eric Gable & Angela Winbush.

This mixed all together in true Cut Killer fashion : great cuts & intro's and songs that he pitched to the max to give it a nice New Jack Swing vibe.

This tape was due to be reedited last year but that didn't happen because Fabe stopped rapping and turned into a Muslim cleric. Because of that he didn't want his old projects the be released anymore. To bad for the masses but Tapediggers still got the flava to feed ya mixtape needs!

Make sure you cop this one, fat fat tape !

Dedicated to my man LeShaffiq !

East RIP.

Grandmaster Vic - 21 september 1994

This time we got a classic New-York blend tape for y'all.
It's done by no one other then tape legend Grandmaster Vic, you can read more about him here.

It's one of our favourite tapes , Grandmaster Vic realy takes mixing on another level: the way he mixes one song in another, the cuts, the blends, the selection , all put together in a smooth set that captures the essence of the golden era of hip-hop.
If you listen carefully you can understand why that dj was considered the king of mixing at that time...
Just the first track where he blends Brandy's I wanna be down with the instrumental of Alyson Williams I need your loving...this could possibly be the best blend ever....A true Classic.

Cut Killer - Hip Hop Summer Jam 95

Massive hip-hop mixtape that came out in 95 and was reedited in 2002.

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.
