Artist: j rocc

New music from J.Rocc "Brothers Party" (Flaunt Edwards Edit). I make these so I can either play them out or a way to fully listen to the records I have. This is the original for "Party Groove" mixed with the Kid Capri & the Madonna drums. Thanks for listening. - J.Rocc

J Dilla 's legacy continues to live on thanks to the help of many artists that were close to him. One of those artists, producer/DJ J Rocc , takes some time to drop off an edit he is working on of the classic cut, "Fuck the Police". Mixing up the raw drums with some smoother grooves, J Rocc does a fantastic job of bringing this neck snapper to a new place. This version clocks in at just over a minute, but apparently we will be hit with a full version sooner than later. [ via ]

Here's a snippet of a little something that I was working on. Played this out a few times and it's crackin!!... Full version might never see the light of day so if you see me playing out then make a request - J.Rocc

A few of Planet Asia's hip-hop peers sing his praises in this new video, including The Beat Junkies, Fredwreck, DJ Muggs, Krondon, House Shoes, and more.

The month of J Dilla ain't over yet. J.Rocc and the good people over at Bling47 release another unreleased gem, the original version of "Crushin'" with production by Waajeed. I am assuming most of you are familiar with the original cut that landed on Ruff Draft , so any Dilla heads out there are sure to see this as a real treat. Oh, and just like the original, this version has those curse word edits. [ via ]

"Mandrill" ce n'est pas qu'un singe, c'est aussi le nom d'un groupe de funk majeur fondé en 1968 par quatre frères et qui reste à ce jour un des plus samplé de l'histoire du hip-hop . Originaires du Panama, nés d'un père jamaicain et d'une mère barbadienne, Carl, Lou, Ric et Wilfredo 'Wolf' Wilson ont dès l'âge de cinq ans un instrument dans les mains. Rêvant d'une vie meilleure, ils traversent l'Atlantique et s'installent à Brooklyn au début des années 50. A l'époque, le quartier de Bedford–Stuyvesant [...]

• J Rocc - Rocchead's Delight Remix (Parts 1 & 2)

When J Rocc released his album Some Cold Rock Stuf in 2011, we included several different editions of the bonus disc "Mystery Disc" in each CD and LP. There was no track list, and no indication of which different edition of the disc was included with the album. We had our fun. Now we pull back the curtain. For this new EP, J Rocc has compiled the best of the Mystery Disc recordings into one small collection, a digital-only release. 1. Rocchead's Delight Remix (Parts 1 & 2) 2. [...]

Vibes master and all round cosmic gentleman Roy Ayers has had a huge impact on the hip hop world, with his jazzual noodlings forming the back bone of many a hip hop hit. But as far as I can remember (and I'm probably wrong), no one has collected these into one mix*. So hats off to KCRW's Anthony Valadez, who has taken the time to stitch Ayers' tunes together with the hip hop cuts that have borrowed so greatly from them. Here's what Anthony had to say: "The inspiration for [...]

• ArtDontSleep - Homage - Roy Ayers mixed by Anthony Valadez

There's not much out about this guy. No-one even knows if it's a guy! That's some of the beauty in the name Vanilla - not chocolate or strawberry, but vanilla. Anonymity is a self-marketing plus for many musicians, especially in these internet-induced days, but I guess the only downer for this stuff is that it hasn't really got out there enough. All I know about this is it's British, which is encouraging, but still doesn't give anything away. This could've been from anywhere. Anyway, I'm posting this 'cause Vanilla recently graced us with this [...]

by Steve McGillivray It's a mixed bag on this week's singles roundup. Not in terms of quality, however, more in terms of genre. We've got instrumental hip-hop, a special guest appearance, some indie rock, a dash of reggae and a comeback that I am pretty excited about. And there's not even a mention of Stone Roses (d'oh!).
