DJ 3rd Degree’s
Fire Pick of the Week
October 18, 2021

Thanks for continuing to support indie rap music and the Rap Attack DJ’s.
What is good my Hip Hop friends!?!
Football and hockey seasons are in full swing, the baseball playoffs are cracking off and NBA is coming soon! Lots of new music has been coming out lately so I want to share something fresh and new from the music world!

For years now, I’ve been peeping you to the music of rapper Tone Chop and his dope producer Frost Gamble, both out of Binghamton, New York. These two have been generating all types of dope heat for your speakers for years and they just dropped a brand-new release titled “One Two” (Frost Gamble Music).
The album is chock full of banging beats, courtesy of the amazing production of Frost, alongside his rapping cohort Tone Chop, who always drops mad dope lyrics. Most of the album is straight fire. I love the debut single and tribute to the late Biz Markie titled “One, Two Announcement”. I equally am feeling cuts like “Dopeman”, “Hardest Out” and “Punch You in the Face Rap.” Lots of amazing music to feast on as we get close to the holiday season.
I highly recommend you go grab this dopeness off Bandcamp or anywhere else you buy your fresh music! You won’t be disappointed, I promise!

Keep it real out there my people!
Keep up the love and peace that Hip Hop was based on.
One love til next time!!
Namaste!!!

NASTY-NES is BACK In The MixTape Mix

It's 90 minutes of Dope-Nes, Phat-Nes, Fresh-Nes & Nasty-Nes in the "Old School 1250 KFOX MasterMix.”
Mixtapes today are not the same as in my era. In my era mixtapes were meant to break new music by various artists and to display your mixing and cutting skills.
I want to thank both Mark Martin & Jeff Frady for a great job producing this with the surprise special artists’ drops to the awesome EQ'ing the sound quality. I've been down with these guys since day one from their days dj'ing at the iconic Spectrum nightclub!
This will take you back down memory lane.
I want to thank all of you for the love & support you've shown me since 1980.
Peep it Here & Enjoy:

This week, Hip Hop music legends Fugees reunited for their first performance together in 15 years. In partnership with Global Citizen and Live Nation, the trio stunned fans at NYC’s Pier 17 with a preview of what’s to come from their international tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of their groundbreaking album, The Score.

The Fugees performed hit after hit off The Score including "Killing Me Softly," 'How Many Mics," "Zealots," "Fu-Gee-La" and more. The group addressed the fans directly as well. Ms. Lauryn Hill asked fans to “respect the miracle” of the reunion and Wyclef implored President Biden to grant Haitian migrants asylum.

#FLASHING BACK WITH THE HIGH CHILDREN & KRITTA

A KUNG POW! FLASHBACK with
NASTY-NES & BETTY!!!

I’M RICK JAMES B#TC?
Just watched this GREAT documentary on Rick James.
Straight outta Buffalo, NY you'll see his rise to fame as the founder of Punk/Funk, the guy who discovered & created The Mary Jane Girls & Teena Marie, the guy who produced hits for Eddie Murphy, Temptations, Smokey Robinson & the guy whose downfall was his addiction to drugs.
He had it all. I grew up to his music & was fan from day one to now.
TWO THUMBS UP! Nasty-Nes

NASTY-NES presents “Say His Name”
featuring Alexander O’Neal,
dropping soon to our RapAttackLives.com DJ’s.

Composed as a dedication to the memory of George Floyd, “Say His Name” was produced and performed by artists from Boston, Seattle and Minneapolis. They were moved in knowing they had a platform where they could express their thoughts and frustrations with vulnerability and emotion. The attitudes, feelings and storytelling involved in this track are expressed through the eyes of those who watched this historic movement unfold, spawned by the tragic loss of one man. Combined with the flares of Hip Hop, R&B, Jazz, Gospel and Pop, “Say His Name” captures the very essence of how some of us are really feeling.
A portion of the proceeds from “Say His Name” will be allocated directly to the George Floyd Foundation and other organizations promoting social justice. We want to make sure that all causes are utilized to their fullest potential. Participants in this project are reaching out to industry heavyweights in hopes of garnering support for the cause.

Congrats to JJ Hudson & Big Caz on their new 50/50 partnership with #OutlawMerlot.

Jim Kelly quote: “Man you come right out of a comic book!”

I was blessed to have met Shih Kien aka Mr Han from "Enter The Drasgon." It was in the 70's at the U of WA's Hec Edmundson Pavillion. My Sifu Taky Kimura was a guest speaker at the martial arts exhibition & he took me with him.

I was around 14 years old & star struck to meet Mr. Han, who was maybe 5"3" tall and didn't speak English. He lip-synched his lines to the voice of Key Luke, best known as MASTER in the 70's tv series, "Kung-Fu."

But I got to shake his hand & I got his autograph!
One of many memorable moments I spent with my Sifu Taky. (R.I.P.)
