Chicago based Hip Hop label Galapgos 4 teams up with Germany's DJ Bizkid to bring you a mix some G4's best tunes from their various artists over the past decade.

![DJ Airius - Hip Rock Is Dead (Nastradoormus) [Mixtape]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2887506_lg.jpg)
NYC's DJ Airius delivers something interesting on his first mashup album. Although I wasn't feeling all the joints the majority of the tunes are pretty high caliber. Nas & Jim Morrison? Indeed a weird combination but when it works, it works. 'Hang on to Ruling the World' is something you gotta to hear. Hip Rock Is Dead (Intro) Ain't Hard to Be Wild New York River Breaking Through Life Doctor Backdoor T-O-U-C-H-I-N-G Rewind Feast Crystal Love Hang on to Ruling the [...]

The five member Portuguese band Orelha Negra ( Black Ear ) mix latin infused funk with sample based Hip Hop and turntablism into winning combination that can not be denied. Orelha Negra's funky rhythms and perfectly selected samples definitely bring a much needed freshness to today's musical world. No autotune or overused 909/606 drums for these Portuguese soulful funksters. They lay it down right and tight ala Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings and UK's Alice Russell. Unfortunately the album is not for sale via U.S. iTunes but can be purchased through [...]

In 2009 the San Bernardino trio, Magnificent Ruffians , teamed up with Los Angeles based producers Elevated Soul to form Elevated Ruffians. Their combined creative efforts developed into a double CD worth of good quality boom bap Hip Hop. Although the album is still for sale ( HERE ) they have recently released the album for free. A free double CD of music? In today's musical landscape this usually means a collection of throwaway tracks release for marketing. Not this time this is the real deal. This is Mag Ruff at their best.

Inspired by the album In My Element by Jazz pianist Robert Glasper French producer Dela reworks samples from the album into a new jazzy Hip Hop instrumental creation. "Some of the interludes are basically hip-hop beats already... So.. I was like, I can't sample the whole album and get away with it, can I ? Can I ??? I felt guilty already, so I figured I might as well do it, but call it a remix album or something.. And I started making these beats. So there you go now." Dela [...]

Wu Tang and The Beatles? This combo can go either way: greatness or a complete train wreck. Fortunately UK music teacher Tom Caruana knows how to produce some quality boom bap Hip Hop. I would have never thought the raw and ruggedness of The Wu would sound so great mixed with psychedelic sounds of Liverpool's fab four. I suppose the power of The Wu is so immense anything sounds good with a taste of the Long Island warriors. Download: [...]

Well there is... the line up for Paid Dues 2010. What can you say about this? Disappointed? Frustrated? Chang Weisberg & Guerilla Union have sold out? Certainty Guerilla Union is in a bit of bind of producing a great underground show with acts people are willing to pay to see perform. As everybody knows Weisberg and his crew are caught between two camps of PD concert goers. Group A,those who want see certain groups always perform at PD and group B, those who want see different acts every year. Stacking an event with a bunch great [...]

Independent Lens Debuting tonight on PBS TV's Independent Lens will be a documentary many around the interweb have been waiting to see. Is sampling a crime? Can anyone really own a sound?

Hip Hop with folksy twist? Not the combination you'll think would work but somehow it does with the remix to Bisco Smith 's "Broadcast Live" which in reality a reworking of TV On The Radio's " Wear You Out ". I'm not sure how it will fit with the sound of Bisco Smith's new album "The Broadcast" (released January 19) but it is a nice surprise for music lovers. [...]
