1 YEAR of SPLIFFHUXTABLE.COM
October 11th, 2006 by the infamous Business
SpliffHuxtable.com…home of Dope, Free Hip-Hop Instrumentals for heads and other Hip-Hop bullshit….
That was the idea…..and now, it’s been a year. Damn!
All I wanted to do was hook people up with free, dope instrumentals, fresh and overlooked, raw an uncut, with a little toronto hip-hop mixed in. And I’ll be damned if I’m still here a year later doin my thing. Thanks to the heads who keep commenting and supporting by email, and some big shouts out to my local peoples:
Century Sam, Logikal Ethix and Unknown Mizery at MutescreamZ Mentaltainment, Corrupted Nostaliga, Stolen From Africa, Big Articulate, Nilz the Unklean, the always insane Bah…
And a shout out to those who make me do what I do do…teh interweeb bloggers who I shamelessly rip off but respect. still ;) Without these hardworking heads, where would we all be???
Eskay @ Nah Right, the crew @ Smoking Section, Robbie @ Unkut, A Different Kitchen, Noyle at ThoseTwoWords, fresh doin it big with 33jones, Dallas Penn, Cocaine Blunts: still killin’ it…aka brownsugar over in france, the always on point Spine Magazine, Tara Henley with her Northern Touch, DirtySound in poland, Joey @ Straight Bangin‘ Catchdubs and all the rest who link to me..

DJ Spinna Vs. Toronto (June 17th)
June 10th, 2006 by the infamous Business
Domecrackers - Take a Look
(Ft. Grap Luva & Jock Max)-(Produced by Spinna)
Vocal - Download
Instrumental - Download
So one of my dudes is coming to the Dot and you better bet Imma be there….even though Century has a show that night.
In honour of the man coming through, I’m gonna hit my heads off with the instrumental AND vocal versions of “Take a Look” by the Domecrackers…..wait a minute…whhhaaa?
Release to fan-boys in europe in 2004, Domecrackers was a one 12″ project from Spinna, Jock Max (oh, of course) and Soul Brother #2 Grap Luva, Pete’s lil’ bro, on Spinna’s venerable Beyond Real label. It hit Canada in early 2005 and I gots my copy. Very, very throwback ish…I can see why it was targeted to europe first. A slick little souled out beat bumps along with some of Spinna’s signature drums work, electro bleepery and a whole lotta soul. Grap and Jock hold it down nice enough, not really breakin’ new ground, but I guess that’s the point of this shit, right? Raps about raps, lovin’ yo wifey and gettin knowledge…I mean look, your downloading MP3’s off a Blog…you know what this underground rap shit sounds like…
I’m really just doin’ a service here for the guys @ Milk, who’ve been bringing in serious DJ’s since the days of the Rave era. So if you’re in the GTA on the 17th, I better see your ass there. Or else there’ll be drama in the streets! Atta Boi!
Unrelated update: Queen Street is teh gaye!!111 (If you don’t live in the dot, forget it)
