Oh Weezy F. Baby, Please Save the Baby!
That’s right, the best set of Lil’ Wayne instrumentals I could find from his latest magnum opus, the amazingly amazing / amazingly terrible “Tha Carter III”. Insane how only Dwayne Carter can occupy the same space as D4L *and* Jay-Z. Boggles the mind.
In case you’ve been under a rock (like I have) for the last two months, Tha’ Carter III features some hot Lil’ Wayne Instrumentals from Play-N-Skillz, David Banner, Cool & Dre, Kanye, Streetrunner, Develop and more. Not a bad line up all things considered.
Sadly, the only Alchemist produced instrumental on Tha’ Carter III, “You Ain’t Got Nothing”, is absent from this release, and some tracks are from the “leak” disc. But hey, take what you can get when it’s free!

For all y’all I’m sorry, but I needed a vacation and took 2 entire weeks off with no Phone, Net or anything else that plugged into anything else (except for the MPC2000 of course.)
Stay tuned, the Biz is back.

Mr. Oizo VS. Wu-Tang Clan
Beats from Mr. Oizo’s classic debut Analog Worm Attack chopped and blended up with some old-school wu-tang acapellas for one hard-ass tape. Mixed by yours truly last summer, so you may have seen this.
Is it weaksauce to re-up my own tape?
Hell no. This shit still bangs and I just realized it’s been out for a year, so why not remind everyone how Soul For Hire do.

Hot off the press, my man Fresh from the ALWAYS, ALWAYS on point 33jones.com took some time out of his busy day to talk to my partner in crime Century Sam and myself about our production, this site and where hip-hop is at nowadays.
Most of you reading this site have undoubtedly visited SpliffHuxtable.com at some point, the greatest instrumental site on the internet. I’ve known Biz, the Toronto-based producer behind spliffhuxtable, for a few years now (well, not “known” in the real life sense of the word, but in the myspace/email/im way of knowing someone). From time to time he would pass along a track or two from a kid named Century Sam that he had been working on an album with, Hunger Is A State of Mind. Every song I heard blew me away, both in terms of the beats, which kept my speakers knocking, and the lyrics, which delved into some very personal details of Sam’s life.

Here’s a throwback joint in celebration of this hot-ass weather here in T-Dot. De La Soul’s self-produced “Oooh” from Art Official Intelligence. Always get’s people live.
