how do I listen to the show?

I am having way too much fun doing this. This is the second half of that O.C. interview you heard last week. As I mentioned before, I got two new exclusives - for all you herbs out there, that means that ain’t nobody heard this outside of O.C. and his closest associates - and now me and you. Here’s the track list of the songs that are in this episode:

Guns & Butter (Smoke and Mirrors) - exclusive
Dangerous (Jewelz)
Born 2 Live (Word…Life)
Rap Dudes (Smoke and Mirrors) - extra goddamned exclusive!

I’ll have some more info about the upcoming album (and the U.S. tour) as soon as that information is available. Special thanks to O.C. and Greg at All City for making this one possible.

I put this one up in 96kbps, so let me know how it sounds to you all quality wise. I’m just tryin to save y’all on them Windows 3.1 machines and 33.6k dialup some stress, knawwmean?

Anyway, I’m up to the bay for a minute, and I’ll be back on the grind as soon as I get back in. Expect a new episode next week, right on schedule. Holler at me.

What up intarweb? You read that right, an interview with O.C. It’s the first interview of many on the mixtape show, and this one is so long that I had to break it into two parts for all y’all on dialup. Click here for the second part. Speaking of dialup, this was done with a land line and a cell phone, so it’s gonna be a little shaky, but we keeps it hood here anyway; you know how it is.

Anyway, back to the topic: for those of you who don’t know, O.C. is a major player in the major hip-hop squad that is the D.I.T.C. (Diggin’ In The Crates) crew. And not only did I get an interview, but we’ve also got some cuts off of both Jewelz and the 1994 classic Word…Life for y’all to check out as well.

Here’s the tracklist for those who don’t already know:

Word…Life (Word…Life)
Time’s Up (Word…Life)
You and Yours (Jewelz)

All beats are off of O.C.’s Word…Life, sliced and blended by your boy.

You know what? I’m not trying to give you the whole show on text, yo. Do yourself a favor and download it. Also be advised that this is part 1 of 2, and to make up for the lateness of this show (it was supposed to be here on Friday), part 2 is coming up in like a couple of days. You absolutely do not want to miss the next part, for reasons that you will understand when you listen to the last couple minutes of this podcast.

Let me know what y’all think, and be on the lookout for part 2 coming up very soon.

Ayyo, what it is?

So I know I said that I was gonna have that O.C. interview up today, but I lost the CD with the audio tracks there were some technical difficulties. I got everything back on track, though, so I’ma hit the studio asap and get back on it.
