HAZ SOLO-LINER NOTES (HIGH CALORIE DONUT MIX)

Blind I comrade and producer Haz Solo salutes J Dilla with a new track, “Liner Notes (High Calorie Donut Mix).  I smiled listening to this because I recently included the original song, “Telegram” by Eleanore Mills on Rendezvous: The Soul Edition. The beauty of hip hop production is the many ways samples can be flipped and interpreted from different vantage points. Enjoy. And lookout for more from Haz.

BLING47 BREAKS DILLA EDITION: WAAJEED F. PHAT KAT

Our good homie Waajeed recently relaunched his Bling47.com site & it’s better, faster, stronger, fresher! We encourage all of you to add it to your bookmarks or homepage it if you havn’t already!

Bling47 Breaks takes you on a journey into samples used by J Dilla.  This original series is directed, filmed and edited by Waajeed himself. The 3^rd episode features him speaking about samples used in, “Featuring Phat Kat” from the BBE release, “Welcome To Detroit”. “This time marks an important phase in the relationship of our crew.  When the opportunity for a solo project came from Peter of BBE – it was another crack in the widening gap between Dilla and Slum Village.  J took the leap and made one of his most comprehensive projects to date.  “Featuring Phat Kat” is just one of the many hidden jewels on the album that would become, “Welcome 2 Detroit.”
