New Music: D. Schwartz - Sucka Blogga

I would like 2 preface this post by shouting out all the cool ass bloggers who have been holding me down. This is about the Sucka Bloggas tholess than a minute ago via webD. Schwartz

D. Schwartz - Sucka Blogga

I think I can speak for the vast majority when I say we're tired of all the sucka bloggas out there on the internets (and yes I realize there is at least some irony in posting this on a blog). With this track D. uses ATCQ's classic jam "Sucka Nigga" as a canvas to vent about some of the sucker shit these clowns have been up to.

Shout out to bloggers who keep it 100 though, we still give props to cats like Kevin Nottingham, the folks at PleaseDontStare, and the whole New Music Cartel, just to name a few.

D. Schwartz - Chinese Connection Freestyle (Beat By @14kt)

D. came across this instrumental from 14kt over at RapOhneLizenz, and after bumpin it continuously for over an hour, felt he had to lay down some flames on this. Yet another case of a beat that definitely goes hard on its own, but D's rendition just makes it that much better. Be sure to check out more of 14kt's music over at his Soundcloud page.

Go get those Rock The Bells tickets while you still can! D. will be hosting at all four stops this year!

D. Schwartz - Ya Know

Ya Know by D. Schwartz

This is a track D. did over one of DJ Khalil's beats from his 'Chinatown Wars' beat tape. Khalil alone is crack, but D. really turned this joint into something special in my opinion. Remember to keep an eye out for 'D. Schwartz Is With You' and the second release from D-Wirks, coming soon.

Intro (Homage to Premo) by D. Schwartz

D. says:

"This project was obviously inspired by the timeless beats from DJ Premier that we have all been listening to for years. There is no way I could do all of them, so I chose some of my personal favorites. It was also inspired by all hip hop from the era where dope rhymes and fresh beats was what it was all about. Shout out to my Golden Era of hip hop and artists like - DJ Premier, Guru, Nas, Big Pun, Capone and Noreaga, AZ, Mobb Deep, EPMD, The WHOLE Wu, Canibus, Redman, KRS, The Beatnuts, The Lox, BIG, Heltah Skeltah, OGC, The Whole Duck Down, MOP, Group Home, OC, The Roots, Nature, Cormega, JayZ, Mos, Monch, Slum Village, Kweli, Smooth Da Hustla, De La, Tribe, I could go on and on, but if you know those people, then you know what it is.

This is not intended for the mainstream "hip hop" audience. This is for a select few who remember those days. Thank You for downloading. D "
