You’re probably wondering why two Mixtape Mondays are posted up. No mistake was made, although we like to keep things consistent here on Killahbeez. The answer is very simple. Anything from Alex Ridha aka Boys Noize is too good to pass up on. For readers of Killahbeez that need their electro fix every day starting today, enjoy.
And here’s the zShare.

This may sound like a change of pace from my normal mixtape selection. But I have featured Eli Escobar when he hijacked Mark Ronson’s Authentic Shit show on East Village Radio. And as always, the Mark Ronson EVR sessions are a good listen. My advice is to throw this on after lunch when the food coma kicks in. It’ll be your aural Red Bull to keep you going for the rest of your day in the office. Enjoy.
Make the leap for track listing.

Back in April, I came across a mix that Discobelle had featured by The Glass. Much like the last mix, the first track really sets the mood. Club Feet’s ‘Teenage Suicide’ sorta reminds me of a track that The Teenagers or Bent would produce. On a different note, the Jewelz remix of ‘This Boys in Love’ serves as a consolation prize for the Preset’s cancellation this weekend.

Going through my emails I noticed a mixtape submission from The Remix Kid for the “Mixtape Monday” segment that we do here at Killahbeez. Seeing how I was doing nothing but reading and replying to emails I decided to download and give this a listen. Wow, that was my first thought. From there I had to do a bit of research and found that The Remix Kid’s real name is Niam. Raised in the Bronx, he interned under Dame Grease and has also did a remix for Jay-Z’s American Gangster album. Now he’s gone and remixed various Madonna songs and done an ill job too I have to say. How ill is the cover, that’s actually what made me listen to this mixtape. Check out the sample song below and click on the download link to cop the whole mixtape. For more info on The Remix Kid visit his myspace page: myspace.com/theremixkid.

So last month we did a post on The Rub’s “History of Hip-Hop” ’90s series. That can be seen here. Recently they dropped the ‘99 mix which brings the whole ’90s era to an end. The mix features a ton of classics from Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, Common, Nas, E-40 and classic 50 cent with his joint “How to Rob”. Unfortunately for some reason the mix cuts out after that song and as you can see from the tracklisting there’s still some morsels of goodness. Hopefully they’ll repair this soon. Until then enjoy this.

I’m a bit of a crate digger (a necessity if you produce), but I’ll start of simple with my first contribution to Throwback Thursdays with a double dose ode to one of the most soulful Caucasians of all time, Bobby Caldwell - Funny thing is, alot of folks didn’t even know he was white until his first video dropped because his single/album cover only showed a silhouette of him. Shout out to JT and Robin Thicke, and NO shout out to YBT (Young Black Teenagers)…LOL Two of my favorite tracks of all time, Common’s “The Light” produced by my man Dilla and Biggie’s “Sky’s The Limit” produced by DJ Clark Kent both sampled Bobby Caldwell -“Open Your Eyes” and “My Flame” respectively. And for good measure I’ll toss in his timeless hit “What You Won’t Do For Love” which has been sampled numerous times by numerous artists (2pac’s “Do For Love” and Luniz “Playa Hata” being a few of many).Click on through for all the tracks and make sure to peep again on Mixtape Monday for a 40+ song mixtape with all classic soul joints (many of them sampled for big hip hop tracks) by my man Dj Pump.

This Mixtape Monday features The Rub. Well I’ve been meaning to post this for awhile now, but I wanted to wait for these guys to drop a few more mixes before we spread the love. The Rub has gone and done a collective mix of some of the greatest and influential songs of their respective years. The era, the ’90s. Yeah you remember that shit, A Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, Biggie Smalls, Ice Cube, Gang Starr and the list goes on and on. My favorite of all the mixes are ‘94, ‘95 and ‘96, the height of the “Golden Era” of Hip-Hop. Listen to two of my favorite streams below and hop on over to Brooklyn Radio to download the rest of the series. They just dropped Vol. 19 1997 last night.

February 10th marked the death of one of the greatest producers to ever, period. J. Dilla aka Jay Dee blessed hiphop fans with some of the sickest beats and production to be heard in years. His joints were something so futuristic that you wouldn’t get it initially, but hearing it a few months or a year later made you realized that the man was truly ahead of his time. This Mixtape Monday features a dope mix by J. Rocc, of the world famous Beat Junkies, showcasing a tribute to the legendary producer. If you haven’t heard Act 1 or 2 then give those a download as well. Stream or download Act 3 below and after the jump, enjoy a collection J.Dilla videos.
