Jungle Brothers Live In London @ The Jazz Cafe this Thurs 25/9/14 The Doctor's Orders

The Jungle Brothers are members of the Universal Zulu Nation and founders of The Native Tongues movement that included De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep, and others.  Their 1st album "Straight Out The Jungle" released in 1988, was an instant classic mixing BBoy aesthetics, Wisdom and Afrocentric Positivity which today stands shoulder to shoulder with the strongest albums of the time.

They followed it up with a more mature and polished album "Done by the Forces of Nature" in 1989 (anyone who knows me knows this is my favourite Hip-Hop Album). 

They have since released several albums and are reknowned for good performances

Lord Finesse Documentary

LORD FINESSE - BIOGRAPHY

Lord Finesse is a Hip hop artist and producer, hailing from The Bronx, New York, best known as the leader of the D.I.T.C. rap crew. In 1989, Finesse and his former partner DJ Mike Smooth signed to Wild Pitch Records, home to other popular Hip Hop artists like Gang Starr, Main Source, Chill Rob G, Percee P, and O.C.. In 1990, the duo released their debut album Funky Technician. The album featured production from future star beat-makers DJ Premier, Diamond D and Showbiz. Soon after, Finesse formed the popular New York underground crew D.I.T.C., an acronym for 'Diggin In The Crates', together with Showbiz & AG and Diamond D. Future members included Fat Joe, O.C., Buckwild and the late Big L.

Lord Finesse & Percee P (The legendary rap battle 1989) CLASSIC!!! 

Finesse returned as a solo artist in late 1991 with his second effort, Return of the Funky Man. The album featured guest appearances from Percee P and AG. The album's title track peaked at #13 on the Hot Rap Singles chart. 'Return of the Funky Man' also included a couple of songs that was produced by Finesse himself and this would be the start of a career as a much respected hip-hop producer. In 1994, Finesse made a production appearance on The Notorious B.I.G.'s classic debut Ready to Die, on the track 'Suicidal Thoughts'. In 1995, he produced a big portion of Big L's debut album Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous, including the single ''M.V.P.'. He finally returned as an artist in 1996 with the now rare 12' single 'Check The Method' and then the acclaimed album The Awakening. Finesse produced the entire album himself, and enlisted a large number of guests, including O.C., KRS-One, MC Lyte, Akinyele, Showbiz and A.G., Diamond D, and Kid Capri. The underground single 'Actual Facts,' featuring Sadat X, Grand Puba and Large Professor, was included as a hidden track on the album.

Lord Finesse (with Big L) with freestyle Yo! MTV raps YouTube

Finesse hasn't released a studio album since this effort, but has continued his production work. In 1997, he produced the title track to O.C.'s acclaimed effort Jewelz. Finesse released a mixtape called Diggin' On Blue in 1999. Later in the year, he produced the track 'The Message' on Dr. Dre's seminal 2001 album. Finesse is currently working on a Funky Technician remix project, as well as a new D.I.T.C. album. Along with these projects, he and DJ Premier are working on a posthumous Big L album.

Lord Finesse - Return Of The Funky Man 

In 1998, Finesse provided the vocal sample on the hook to 'The Rockafeller Skank', a hit single by British musician Fatboy Slim from his album You've Come a Long Way, Baby. The song features Finesse's repeated line 'Right about now, the funk soul brother. Check it out now, the funk soul brother.'

Lord Finesse's Vinyl Collection - Crate Diggers

Lord Finesse returned to the mic on Handsome Boy Modeling School's album 'White People' in 2004. He was featured on the song entitled 'Rock 'N' Roll (Could Never Hip-Hop Like This) pt. 2, collaborating with famous old-school DJ's as QBert, Grand Wizard Theodore and Jazzy Jay. Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park make appearances as well as Rahzel of The Roots.

Universal Zulu Nation 40th Anniversary UK Zulu Exhibition, Showcases, Film Screenings & Events @ MAP Studio Cafe London

November 2013 marks the 40th Anniversary of the Universal Zulu Nation. In celebration, B-Boy Documents brings together key figures in hip-hop culture – both UK and internationally - for a month of debates, performances, film screenings and presentations. The programme will explore the legacies of a wide range of contributors to the culture, celebrating their work and discussing experiences. Drawing on the spirit of the Zulu Nation, which emphasises the use of hip-hop as a force for positive change

At the start of the 1980’s, as the elements of hip hop culture spread beyond New York City and onto these shores, the London scene began to take shape after early initial visits from Futura 2000, The Rock Steady Crew and the screening of the legendary hip hop movie ‘Wild Style’. Developing in London clubs such as The Titanic and The Peoples Club, in the streets of Ladbroke Grove and in other cities such as Bristol and Manchester, by 1984 higher profile jams began to be organised, many catering to the under 18’s. This exhibition will emphasise the imagery; primarily select flyers from the early 80’s - coupled with aural testimonies from the partakers themselves. Our intention is to re-introduce some pioneers names that are often overlooked in the documentation of the history. We hope this will inspire some memories and some discussions about that period of time. From the mighty Mastermind Roadshow to Newtrament, Cosmic Jam, The Wild Bunch, Sir Drew, Imperial Mixers, Steve Devonne, Family Quest and many, many others. These individuals helped shape a culture that is still a way of life for so many of us. November 2013 marks the 40th Anniversary of the Universal Zulu Nation. In celebration, B-Boy Documents brings together key figures in hip-hop culture – both UK and internationally - for a month of debates, performances, film screenings and presentations. The programme will explore the legacies of a wide range of contributors to the culture, celebrating their work and discussing experiences. Drawing on the spirit of the Zulu Nation, which emphasises the use of hip-hop as a force for positive change, B-Boy Documents will highlight how hip-hop has united as it has travelled. It will explore how hip-hop alerted adherents in the UK to the perspectives of hip-hop’s multicultural practitioners in New York. But, more than this, B-Boy Documents will engage with how hip-hop gave British youth a powerful new set of tools to express and make sense of their worlds, creating new futures as they did. 1) Friday November 1st: Opening Night Party https://www.facebook.com/events/356497787818491   2) Sunday November 3rd: This Functional Family Book event by Lyn E Lyn https://www.facebook.com/events/208769232625174  3) Wednesday November 13th: David Toop, Author of ' The Rap Attack ' Q & A with James McNally https://www.facebook.com/events/174133462776668/?fref=ts  4) Friday 22nd November: Louder Than A Bomb Live Set https://www.facebook.com/events/436980999744263  5) Here's a taster of the original Italian version, as this will be the first English performance of it: http://vimeo.com/53902668  6)Sunday 24th November: Zulu Nation Meeting of the Minds, round table discussion hosted by TJ Chill based on the memories of the flyers in the exhibition. https://www.facebook.com/events/733834986642239/?fref=ts  7)Friday 29th November: Yo!

TJ Chill (Universal Zulu Nation/Kaos Crew/SenseiFM/Itch FM Elder) 1st Solo Album "Cool Like Pacino" OUT NOW

 TJ Chill – Cool Like Pacino

Available on i-Tunes and all other digital formats NOW!

Afrika Bambaataa’s UK Zulu Nation stalwart and MC from the UK Hip Hop group KAOS Krew, TJ Chill, launches his impressive debut album. With features from Alex Watson; Prem C; The Sweet Chap; Ricky Rankin; Black Moth Connection; Tim Westwood; Mikey Sovereign; Opera singer Melodee Fernandez; Black Thunder; Cobra; DJ Fin and of course the KAOS Krew. 

TJ Chill - C'mon!

 

Production courtesy of TJ Chill; DJ Rumple; TC; Fernando Duhalde; Blackmoth Connection; Pixie; DVD and Tom Marsh (Repairman/Elbow). Recorded at MAP Music; Stanley House and Abbey Road Studios.

Cool Like Pacino is TJ Chill’s 3^rd release of 2013 following his single collaboration ‘Pioneers’ with Redd Emcee and then the single ‘Spitting Blood’.

JDA Cut (Universal Zulu Nation/Sensei.FM/Itch FM Elder) & TJ Chill (Universal Zulu Nation/Kaos Crew/SenseiFM/Itch FM Elder)

TJ Chill is a familiar face on the Hip Hop scene in his Zulu Nation capacity and presented the Zulu Nation Rap Show on Itch FM which promoted and broke other UK artists. He was a co-founder of Sensei FM and in 2012 he hosted the first ever UK Hip Hop Honours Awards.

He’s back to MC-ing and this 14 track album with its loose homage to screen icon Al Pacino (where each track contains a subtle reference to Mr Pacino or one of his films), displays a variety of Hip Hop styles from funk to hardcore to classical to freestyle to soulful.

TJ Chill on the album ‘Cool Like Pacino’: “It was built to be an album experience in the way that Led Zeppelin used to do it back in the day. I was also aiming to make it the best debut album since Definitely Maybe! Although I am 100% Hip Hop, I have a very punk approach which was there even from my earliest KAOS Krew days. It has to be funky, it has to be loud and it has to have attitude and I think all of that can be said about this album”

KAOS KREW - NEXT VERSION

in 1998 the KAOS KREW (TJ CHILL, JONIE D and PEEKABOO) re-entered the studio after a considerable hiatus and released the hardcore radio single NEXT VERSION.

King Sun - Mythological Rapper, 5%er, Zulu King, Battle Rapper & Hip-Hop Originator (Rare Tracks & Interviews)

King Sun - Mythological Rapper, 5%er, Zulu King, Battle Rapper & Hip-Hop Originator 

(Rare Tracks & Interviews)

Although the Bronx was responsible for the 70's Foundation Park Jams, in the late 1980's  Queens Hip-Hop artists seemed to seemed to be dominating a size-able chunk of the Hip-Hop landscape. Countering this was a slew of Boogie Down Bronxters like T-La Rock, B-Boy Records - B.D.P. (Boogie Down Productions), Dark Tall & Handsome, The Almighty Kay Gee (The Cold Crush Brothers), some came from original Zulu Nation member Jazzy J's Strong City imprint Bizzy B, Ultimate Force (Diamond D's 1st group) Freddy Foxx, and an artist called King Sun.

King Sun - D. Moët

Zakia Records era Press Shot

King Sun alongside his DJ D. Moët, was put on by Brooklyn super star DJ Cutmaster D.C., and got the duo signed to Zakia Records, the same label that signed Eric B & Rakim.  King Sun - D. Moët's single Hey Love was a slowed down electro Cutmaster D.C. production and lyric heavy Mythological Rapper cemented their signing to major London based record label Profile, then home to Run DMC, Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock, Special Ed, Sweet Tee, Dana Dane and several others.

Hip-Hop's In The House - Cut Master DC, Just-Ice, Dj Mix Master Ice (U.T.F.O.), Melle Mel, Grandmaster Caz, Dave Funkenklein, Steady B, D-Moet, King Sun, & others circa ’90 from here

King Sun XL Album (1989)

King Sun's 1st album on Profile XL featured Hey Love and several B-Boy classics, with King Sun Born kicking 5% knowledge and battle raps over production by Sun himself, The Hollywood Impact,The DJ Mark The 45 King and the support of a major label gained him new underground attention.

King Sun & The Hollywood Impact 

King Sun recorded much of his music in New Jersey with New Jersey based super crew The Hollywood Impact which featured Producers, DJs & Dancers - Style, Dj King Shameek, Twin Hype, Brian Stroh, Tiny Rock, Just  2, Choice Brothers from the back of the Twin Hype 12" Do It To The Crowd also on Profile.

King Sun's 2nd Album Righteous But Ruthless (1990)

King Sun's 2nd Album Righteous But Ruthless came out in 1990 in the centre of the Conscious Afrocentric Hip-Hop era, and is one of the strongest albums of that movement, and stood up along side groups like Public Enemy, X-Clan, Tragedy, Def Jef, Boogie Down Productions, Paris, Brand Nubian, YZ, Two Kings and A Cypher, and Poor Righteous Teachers. The album had solid production courtesy of super producer Tony D & New Jersey based crew The Hollywood Impact and production & ill cuts by Dj King Shameek. The album is much more knowledge led than XL, with Sun taking heads with lyrical swords, still with his unique story telling, repping New York to the hilt, battling wack MC's draped in 5% Wisdom. Poor Righteous Teachers feature as guests on the track The Gods Are Taking Heads, unusual in that time as "guest spots" were rare back then. 

King Sun - Be Black

King Sun pumping Afrocentric teaching and bringing it to the many MC's and Hip-Hoppers who jumped over night onto the Conscious band wagon as a fashion, with his song Be Black, which is not unlike the 1960's  commentary in Gil Scott Heron's song Brother. 

King Sun Big Shots (Funk Master Flex Remix)
An excellent example of King Sun's story telling rap style about the rise and fall of a New York Drug Lord remixed by then A&R DJ Funk Master Flex

After his second album he parted ways with Profile Records, but recorded several songs like the DJ Jazzy J produced Mr. Policeman, and recorded the Strictly Ghetto E.P. for Cold Chillin' Records in 1994. Unfortunately by that time the rot had set in at the once legendary label and it was not well promoted, Gza, then known as The Genius, Tragedy, Grand Daddy I.U. and many of the later Juice Crew members also suffered career woes at the label.

King Sun - Once Upon A Time (Cold Chillin' 1994)

From the Strictly Ghetto E.P.

Not only a monster with the bars but physically a massive dude and well known for not shy to get it on, Sun has has had his fair share of beefs. As the story goes, King Sun, post-Profile was shopping demos to get a new deal. Ice Cube then Ceo of his Lench Mob Records received a Demo that from King Sun. In 1992, Ice Cube released Wicked, which King Sun believed was a bite of his Wicked hook from his Demo. The stories of King Sun trying to get at a Cube show in New York are legendary, and ended up on his the Ice Cube Diss - Suck No Dick. Cypress Hill also mentioned that episode in their No Rest For The Wicked Ice Cube Diss which was countered by Ice Cube and Westside Connection's Cypress Hill Diss King of the Hill.

Beef to the back, East Coast West Coast Unity
Bobby Brown?, friend, WC (Westside Connection), King Sun & Ma$e?

King Sun (Sun Dullah)& DJ Doo Wop - New York Love (All Eyez On Sun) [2PAC DISS]

The East Coast/West Coast Beef brought King Sun with the heat and recorded 2 early dis records, but like fellow Bronx MC Tim Dog, who dissed N.W.A. DJ Quik and others, its all in Rap and has spent a lot of time on the "Left Coast".

King Sun on his dissing of 2Pac:"Ok, I was the first to respond with a diss record towards Tupac when he first dissed Tribe Called Quest at the Source Awards in '94. Since Tupac appeared on "California" wit Dre, I felt the need to respond wit "Califony" and derived the hook from the Die Hard movie when Bruce Willis was a cop from NY and had beef in Cali. Every time he killed an adversary his reply was "Yippie Kay Ya Mother Fucker."

The beat was produced by DJ Mark the 45 King and was cut up by Funk Master Flex in D&D Studios in Midtown Manhattan. Shout outs to Doug and Dave. I then allowed Doo Wop to put the song on his mixtape to generate a buzz. Tupac and I discussed the dis song after having Ice-T play it for Pac. We laughed together over the phone and Pac new it was nothing personal, but I had to rep NY to the fullest. Shout outs to Ice-T, who's like my older cousin from the Left Coast who has always held me down, to WC Crazy Toons, DJ Aladdin, DJ Pooh, Evil E and Hen G and Shawny Shawn.

Rest in peace Pac. Our love goes out to Mrs. Shakur. Tell BIG I said "Hold some equality for me and Lady Heron and be at the door with Jesus so we can get in!"

"Doo Wop played his record with King Sun on his critically acclaimed Summer Jam '96 mixtape. Doo Wop also goes at 2Pac & The Dogg Pound at the end of the tape. Notice how the mixtape only features East Coast artists. This was around the time of Hit' Em Up. According to DJ King Shameek, King Sun had also recorded another diss record titled "Don't Know How To A.C.T." directed at Westside Connection" - From CroatianRapper youtube

King Sun - Don't Know How To A.C.T. (2Pac/Westside Connection diss)  

Sun goes in breaking down the So-Called "East Coast/West Coast Beef"

In the late 1990's Sun dropped several singles one with with Ice-T, and the others that ended up becoming the Say No More album in 1999, on his own Black Claw label. The album featured production from Louis Vega and cuts from DJ King Shameek.
