Dread At The Controls

Big big big compilation here.

I copped this on vinyl way back when from my buddy Kofi. I just came across it on another blog and forgot how good it was. A lot of the tunes are riddims that Mikey chatted over on his "World War 3" LP so if you have that you already know how this one is gonna sound.

All tunes were produced by the late Mikey Dread and recorded with Roots Radics.

Track List:

The Ovations - Shy Girl
The Ovations - Forever Love
Michael Israel - Real Long Time
Mikey Dread - Hot Cross Bun
Hopeton Lindo - Black History
Rod Taylor - His Imperial Majesty
Sugar Minott - In This Time
Sunshine - Taking The World
Earl Sixteen - Mr Dj
D.A.T.C. Stable - Freezing

Dread At The Controls.....

I Heart The Internets

I've never been big on these parody poster things, but this one is funny.

Hiatus D.I.T.L

Many apologies for leaving you all hanging.

I was doing grown man shit in Milwaukee for my 9 - 5 and didn't have any internerd access.

Let's see what I can scrounge up for you all.

Kwest TVC

- Look real hard youngins that is how you paint a freight

Revok Arrested In Melbourne

- First Clash of Titans gets canceled and now this shit? That sucks

Ghost Stories with Ghostface Killah

- Why does this dude not have his own fucking show?

Lamebook Of The Day

- I still ain't bored of this site

Fight The Power

I'm as speechless as Corky's parents.

Where do I even start?

Tenor Saw

"Mi nearly broke mi neck" when I clicked on this tune.

In the last few years I've become pretty obsessed with digital 80's tunes. Being a dude that is obsessed with dancehall is alienating enough in Seattle, but being a dude that is obsessed with digital 80's tunes is like being that guy plus a bed wetter.

So even though I know 90% of you don't care about 80's digital tunes please feel free to email:

RBL Posse

And another no look pass from the Prince of Ballard with one of the most underrated rap groups ever.

RBL Posse a.k.a Ruthless By Law

For those in the Bay Area this was a staple album growing up. The church of RBL did manage to make its way down to SD. I was about 15 when I first heard "Don't Give Me No Bammer Weed." When I was getting schooled by my friend from the Bay he looked at me like I was retarded for not having heard of RBL after he bumped "Bammer Weed" I was sold.

If you have doubts watch the video:



This album is actually solid all the way through and ages pretty well.

R.I.P Mr. Cee

Get Learned

Nancy Sinatra

Kill Bill brought this track back from obscurity and it is still one of my favorites.

Lamebook Of The Day

Lamebook.com is better than 99% of the web. The other 1% is obviously porn. Duh.

Aidonia "Bolt Action" by Federation Sound System

I was told by someone in the comment's section that I was sleeping by not posting any Aidonia.

Fair enough.

I've liked all the Federation tapes I have ever gotten my hands on and this one is good, but I could have done without all the mash-ups. Then again Raekwon's "Verbal Intercourse" with Aidonia over it is a pretty ridiculous combo that actually works.

I would rather hear the actual riddims mixed in with fewer rap mash-ups. It still works fine, but I actually prefer when Black Chiney Sound does these kinds of mash-ups.

Federation is still one of the best sounds so don't slag them off because they carry lots of big dubs.

Sound di helicopter ddddddddddddddeeeeeeeee Aidonia

SDTW Needs

Thanks in advance.

Busy Signal "Uniform Bad Boy"

On the "Praise Jahovia" riddim.

Chunnneeeeeeee

Triston Palmer

I wasn't sure if I had posted this album up or not. I've had it for a while and it's pretty rough.

The Roots Radics provide the backing, Jah Thomas on the controls, and the original Mr. Palmer pon the mic.

Track List:

Miserable Woman
Give Me A Chance
Sandra
The Girl I Love
Time So Hard
Run Around Woman
