How this video only has 939 views on YouTube is unreal. In 1993, The Notorious B.I.G. had yet to morph into the crossover superstar the world would later come to adopt him as. That doesn't mean his 21st birthday party in Brooklyn was anything less than - what the kids coin now as - "turnt up." In providing some sort of time significance, mentally grasp these four facts. - The first World Trade Center bombing wasn't even three months old yet. - The vibes in New York were so [...]

If Lord Finesse was a baseball player he'd be in the Robert Hall of Fame for his Triple Crown record in hip-hop. Whether he's on the microphone, drum machine, or turntables, you know he'll be chasing that MVP crown.

We recorded a live 2 hour set on 2.14.13 in Tokyo and as promised we're sharing it with all his fans in two FREE DOWNLOAD installments. ENJOY! If you missed Pt.1 check below in the [...]

![Lord Finesse – Live In Tokyo Part 1 [Mixtape]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4836586_lg.jpg)
When he's not rapping or crafting beats, Lord Finesse can be found behind the turntables. That's especially lately, as he recently headed overseas to Japan for a series of tour dates. Thankfully for everyone not as his Tokyo show, the Bronx native had some folks on hand to record his two-hour DJ set. We're hearing the first part of it today and those of you doubting Finesse skills on the wheels of steel should pay close attention. That goes for anyone who just wants a good ass mix to listen to for the next 55 minutes.
If you're gonna start a crew called Digging In The Crates, it pretty much goes without saying that you're always down to get your fingers dusty digging for breaks and beats. Just like his DITC comrades, Lord Finesse's digging credentials can't be questioned. And if you need a refresher, this mix tape is just the ticket. Finesse headed out to Japan last month to show off the results of his lifelong search for beats and pieces, recording one of his DJ sets to share with the rest of us. Packed full [...]

The year was 1992. Members of the Diggin’ in the Crates (D.I.T.C.) hip hop collective, consisting of legendary New York rappers and producers such as Big L, Diamond D, and Lord Finesse, were releasing groundbreaking albums on the bustling East Coast scene. What made the collective so potent was that each member featured a distinct sound in their solo work, making it a diverse and interesting group of musicians. Showbiz and A.G’s Runaway Slave is a shining example of this, especially because of the themes found in the lyrics. [...]
