Pick of the Week (6/7/11)

9th Wonder & Buckshot - The Formula

The sophomore release from 9th Wonder (of Little Brother) and Buckshot (of Boot Camp Clik) is what all collaboration albums should aspire to be. Released in 2008 on Duck Down Records, it has phenomenal production, lyricism and a featured artist here and there makes this album a needed addition to any serious hip hop heads collection. Also, check out their first album Chemistry, which was released back in 2005.

DJ Pick

Jake One - White Van Music

The debut album from Seattle native producer Jake One out on Rhymesayers Entertainment has it all. Featured talent includes fellow label-mates Freeway, Brother Ali and MF Doom as well as Black Milk, M.O.P., Elzhi, Little Brother and Blueprint. And so much more. Check it out.

Throwback Pick

Lords of the Underground - Here Come The Lords

Released in 1993, the debut album from Lords of the Underground is a freaking classic. Produced by Marley Marl, DJ Lord Jazz and K-Def, this is the stuff of 90's hip hop legend. Truly the chief rocka's of the decade.

Damn It's Hot (5/31/11)

Sorry about the technical difficulties with the mic and some of the music in the first set...we run on ducktape and love here at Radio 1190 and I guess the station didn't want us to forget it.

Pick of the Week (5/31/11)

Danger Mouse & Jemini - Ghetto Pop Life

Released back in 2003, Ghetto Pop Life marks Danger Mouse's first collaboration with MC Jemini the Gifted One. The album features Cee-Lo Gree, The Alkaholiks, The Pharcyde, and Prince Po. Even though Danger Mouse has since moved on to Gnarles Barkley, producing several Black Keys albums and other indie stuff, in my opinion this is one of his best production albums to date.

DJ Pick

9th Wonder - The Dream Merchant Vol. 2

North Carolina producer and iconic member of Little Brother, 9th Wonder's 2nd compilation album does not disappoint. Released in 2007, it features a wide range of talent, from Sean Price, Skyzoo, Mos Def and Jean Grae to Camp Lo, Buckshot, Strange Fruit Project and Median, among many others. Check it out!

Throwback Pick

Charizma & Peanut Butter Wolf - Big Shots

Originally recorded in the early 90's, Big Shots wasn't released until 2003 on Peanut Butter Wolf's Stones Throw Records. Even after 10 years, the album still made a huge impact on the hip hop community. Now approaching the 20 year mark, Charizma is still among the greats that died too early. R.I.P.

DJ Pick

Buff1 - Pure

Ann Arbor Michigan stood up for Buff1's first solo album in 2007 for good reason. The former Atheltic Mic League member received wide-ranging praise for his work and featured some legendary Michigan talent, including Guilty Simpson, Elzhi (of Slum Village), One Be Lo (of Binary Star), and Monica Blaire. Check it out.
