Adding an extra B-day stream for June 19th on twitch

June 19th is the actual bday for yours truly. It’s also pops day & Juneteenth . On top of that,it’s my 2 year twitchaversary month (I don’t remember when I actually started up because my brain is basically a half a century old). So lots to celebrate.

I’ve come to learn many of y’all have still not seen my visual mixtape versions of some of my classic releases, so figured I’d do a little pop up at a time when I wouldn’t usually stream for those who keep missing the regular scheduled festivities .

So come thru. There will probably be cake.

June 19th – 5 PM EST / 2 PM PST

Apple Music Hip Hop R&B Throwback mix w/ LowKey

Back when everyone was Playing Ludacris in the club, I was still playing Bill withers and 10 year old Mary j joints. So I guess I always been a #throwbackdj.

Makes sense I get to throwdown for @lowkeyuhtn and @applemusic.

Head to this link –

https://music.apple.com/us/curator/hip-hop-r-b-throwback-radio-with-lowkey/1496850492

Or just search for hip hop throwback with Lowkey in your Apple music search bar.

Specific assignment was anything between 1990s to 2017. I kept it in the last 90’s / 2000 club era hits for the most part just to make sure that it didn’t go over the average listeners heads.

Wild right what is considered a throwback. The music ages like fine wine, it just gets better with time.

Just fyi, I was handcuffed with being able to do my real thing which is blends. Why? Because the payment algorithm gets confused as hell and can’t figure out who gets what if I do my thing thing. So yet again, capitalism ruins everything.

The mix will air at the following times tomorrow (Fri, March 4th) – 2:30AM PST / 10:30AM PST / 9:30PM PST and will be up on apple music’s platform there for ya’ll to listen to on demand.

Enjoy the trip down memory lane ya’ll….

Shouts to @djjuanyto for connecting the dots.

Pre-Order SidePiece Valentine’s Mixtape Now – Shipping Sept 26th

Everyday except Feb 14th is SidePiece Valentine’s Day… so let’s celebrate. Pre-Order Now.

ExtraOrdinary Part 2 is HERE. Available on USB cassette & Digital DL

10 years ago i Made this mix called ExtraOrdinary.

NOW, Part 2 is HERE.

3-Panel_JCard_FRONT_AI

From the liner Notes :
It’s kinda fresh you listen to more than hip-hop…

10 years ago I dropped the mixtape ExtraOrdinary as part of the “all out king” mixtape series. What was on it? Groups like 10, stuff 000 Maniacs, The Doors, Nirvana, & Laura Branigan. Basically a lot of artists that fall outside the realm of urban music. At the time, the usual way of integrating “non hip hop” into the mix was the every popular “mashup”. But on this mix there was none of that. Regardless, it was mixed with a hip hop aesthetic, with the songs flowing into one another seamlessly.

The point of making it was to show that good music is good music. I was trying to get people out of their comfort zone, or maybe realize that the box that they were in musically could be a lot bigger if they were open to it. I’m sure when people heard it some were suprised and not interested. But others have told me that ExtraOrdinary was one of their favorites.

Part 2 is meant to carry on the tradition. Music that isn’t funk, but is funky in its own way. Songs that wouldn’t be considered soul but can still make you feel something. There are songs on here that you will know just because they are part of the pop stream of consciousness. Some of the songs are gems waiting for your eats to discover them.

They are all songs that will be out of the ordinary…
ExtraOrdinary.

“You gotta do everything… If you specialize in one thing, you really can’t call yourself an All Out King.”

For A LIMITED TIME,we have brought the price of ExtraOrdinary Part 2 Cassette USB back to $15 Dollars.

FROM THE LINER NOTES :

Feb 14th 2005… how time flies.

I made this mixtape on that date, with this written in the liner notes:

For the next hour, I need you to open up your minds a little somethin. This is the 1st of the AOK Series. You see – you gotta do everything, if you specialize in just one thing, you can’t call yourself an ALL OUT KING. This may be somewhat of a stretch for all y’all who are used to their music in neat little packets. We’re taking a trip, and you’re probably going to hear things your not used to. Don’t worry, I won’t hit you over the head too hard, we’ll do this in babysteps…

This one’s called Warmfuzzy, like the feeling. It’s to “celebrate” Valentine’s Day, but if you’re as pimp as you think you are, this cd should be good all yr round.

At that time, music wasn’t quite this multi-genre stew it is today. Kanye West and Paul McCartney weren’t dropping collabo songs. Miley Cyrus wasn’t making music w/ Juicy J. But on the Warmfuzzy mix, there was everything on it – from Coldplay to Queen to Al Green to Slum Village, mixed NOT in the usual “mash-up” fashion of the time, but in a distinctly tasteful way that made everything cohesive. The subject matter for all the music was that “crazy little thing called Love”. Love kept warmfuzzy together.

After it’s release it became one of the mixes I was most well known for, and also the one that was my favorite to create.

This mix you hold here is Warmfuzzy part 2. Although 10 yrs have passed, the infinite pursuit still goes on. May this be the soundtrack to the next chapters in your story. I’ll still be right here with you…

Counting down to the new mixtape by releasing 2 Original for free…

Mid June right around my birthday I’m releasing a new mixtape – Original part 5 . In the meantime to get y’all ready for the release I’m re-releasing the previous chapters in the “Original” mixtape series. Up next – 2 Original.

I believe I made it back in 2001/2002 . It follows the theme of the first mixtape – going back and forth between hip hop songs and the sampled music they originated from. The theme of the mixtape wasn’t anything new, discount but something like this hadn’t been done by a member of the turntablist battle community. Heavy on the scratching, all the original samples came off of real vinyl. These were the days before mp3’s and broadband allowed everyone to have the same music, so making this mixtape required some real digging.
