Another throwback from the Truck Jewls archives, this was the 2nd Mix CD after making the transition from tapes. After having no luck trying to digitize my master and eventually buying a used copy off Discogs it turns out the blank CD’s during this batch were faulty and didn’t stand the test of time so if you have this one it probably won’t read in any CD player on the planet…trust me… I tried and couldn’t do it so I re-made the m...

The soundtrack has always been a big tool of mine as a DJ to find those non-album bangers that most people would overlook. I flooded my mixtapes with plenty of these songs over the years and decided to make a formal Hidden Treasures mix to celebrate the soundtracks to some classic films that did a great job meshing the music & movie as well as some others that were probably better off releasing the music alone. Only the most prob...

For a summer we’ll never forget as much as we’d like to, here are some joints I’ve been stashing over the quarantine era…nothing fancy, no long description here...just some fresh new rap songs that might slip through the cracks in these wild times. New Hip-Hop from promising young artists on the come up alongside some seasoned vets like Jungle Brothers, Craig G, AZ, Sadat X, The Lox & Grand Daddy IU.

Episode 29 - Wu-tang has always had a way of healing the soul during rough times and we need them now more than ever. It’s been a rough year on many levels but I wanted to be reminded of that Wu energy, positive vibes, uplifting messages delivered in the flyest & most aggressive manner, nobody does it better. True Wu heads know most of these tunes this is all post 2010 Wu-Tang (for all you “is Wu-Tang still making music” cats)…, ...

Episode 28 - I remember 1st hearing the name Dumbtron on a Mr. Lif song and just saying ‘wow…what a great name’….With roots in North Florida & Atlanta this duo features super producers, MC’s & DJ’s Paten Locke aka DJ Therapy (RIP) & Willie Evans Jr. who got started in the group Asamov along with Ja-One-Da & Basic, then eventually came together as a duo called Dumbtron. Some people are reading this saying “Who?”, while others are ...

Back on it with a gem from the mixtape archives…The year was 1998… this is technically my 3rd mixtape (that I had out for sale) and since I’ve been digitizing all my old mixtapes for a special usb package coming soon, I wanted to give a taste of what’s to come. The distribution on this tape was extremely limited, only a few choice record stores in Philly carried this one before I expanded to Sandbox, Landspeed, etc…If you have a p...

Episode 23A is a year end rap up featuring some joints that I set aside throughout the course of the year from some of my favorite full length projects. I’m not one to claim a definitive album of the year, there were a lot of great/damn near classic projects that came out and most of these tracks reflect some of the better albums that dropped in my opinion with a couple of random loosies thrown in for good measure. Special thanks...

Episode 21: Long Live The Posse Cut

Back on it with a big one this time around. 2.5 hours of beats & bars courtesy of some of the best posse cuts to ever be recorded. Nothing like a gang of dope MC’s getting together in the studio and going bar for bar, verse for verse…they are still around, but it definitely does not go down like it used to. Some of these are borderline posse cuts with 3 people, or a group featuring 1 or 2 peopl...

Recently did some much needed lab maintenance and properly organized my vinyl, during that process I set a few gems aside in a crate for a mix, this is half that stack, I’ll get to the other half eventually, but for episode 20 an all rare wax mix feels like the right thing to do…I also realized I recently passed the 1 year mark since I started this thing but I’m not a stickler for anniversaries and such but big thanks to anyone who...

After some studio issues and unfortunate delay I’m back up and running with part 2 of the Fresh Produce I dropped a while back….Mo Easy Mo Bee for you & yours…focusing on some of the later stuff in his catalog with some classic throwbacks tossed in for good measure, I stayed away from the obvious trying to go for the more unknown/unheard so if you’re wondering where’s all the Biggie stuff, Flava in ya Ear, Reprogram Remix, this is ...

Another nod to the beatmakers…Easy Mo Bee, easily one of the more overlooked producers from the golden era but he had a crazy attention to detail and knack for great accent samples slipped into the multiple classics he produced. He definitely had one of the most unique sounds of the time and was a go-to producer for Biggie, 2Pac, Craig Mack and more…on top of working with legends like Miles Davis, Slick Rick, Heavy D, Gza, Redman,...

Excuse the long delay between episodes…life happens but I’m back on track with a salute to the 90 minute cassette, the DJ’s canvas…the way it used to be… just having fun for one hour and a half with skits, intros, outros, random clips mixed in with a slew of dope 2019 new music plucked from much of the new great albums that have been dropping…make sure to support these artists, they all have albums out on digital platforms so if yo...

Here’s a classic from the archives, a mix I made in conjunction with LA based Hip Hop Philosophy Radio a few years back. There was a time similar to Hip-House where every album had a song either dedicated to the DJ of the group and/or a DJ solo piece. This trend stopped sometime in the 90’s but a lot of these joints get missed or overlooked when it comes to Old School Hip-Hop…here’a a sonic ‘tip of the cap’ to all the DJ’s who ha...

t’s been a minute but I’m back with another one this time dedicated to fast rap music. My favorite era in Hip-Hop was easily 88-92 because of the tempo of the music, how Rakim, G Rap or Kane could spit so smoothly over a 115 BPM track. While I love a lot of new stuff these days, the vibe has definitely gotten slower and slower as time went on and not many are still flexin’ over some speed strictly 105 BPM & up for this one…here i...

After a few throwback episodes I’m back in the new tune zone with this one. 2018 was a great year for music and Hip-Hop and looks like that trend is continuing with some real quality, damn near classic type albums dropping so far and there’s nothing I like doing more than combing through them all and plucking out the gems. Kick off the year with fresh new joints from Black Thought, Ill Legit, Czarface, The Good People, Sadat X, N...

This is my 14th podcast with special guest host Kwest Tha Madd Lad, a tribute to his cult classic LP “This is My First Album” released via American Recordings (Rick Rubin & Dan Charnas) in 1996. Aside from being a battle tested MC and one of the most original and unique personalities the golden era has ever produced, Kwest is just a good dude and humble hip-hop fan/scholar. We did this on a Friday night just vibin’ with some brew...
