DJ SOUNDNEXX VERBAL MILK MIXX!

 

No matter how much time passes, I will always have love for hip-hop music! Over the last couple of decades, the sound of the genre has drastically changed. Some of it is good, but a lot of it terrible as far as I am concerned. I won't bother getting up on my "soapbox" ranting about how many rappers don't spit rhymes anymore, and how the content suffers because of it. Some of you may feel totally different about the subject, and I can respect that. Like you, I have a choice about what artists make it into my listening rotation, and today I am showcasing some of the emcees on my radar in this mixx. There are some new, classic and remixed tracks on this joint! When you get a chance, put your ears on it. If you like what you hear, then show some support.

4GOT-N-REMIXX 2 (90'S THROWBACK)
The 90's aren't considered the "Golden Era" just for hip-hop. It's also known for being the decade when the hottest remixes were created! I think all songs should be remixed. That just me though. There is a major diffrence between a beat maker and a music producer. A real producer knows how to build a song from beginning to end. That ability allows a producer to transform any song into something new. A remix in 2013 is adding another rapper or singer on a song, or spitting a slightly different verse over the original beat. That's not a true remix in my opinion, and it's a pretty lazy approach if you ask me! A REAL remix is when the original song is totally reworked and transformed into something else like Megatron. It needs a new beat (slower or faster than the original), different lyrics, reworked hooks and melodies to make it a legit remix.

Track list:

IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU REMIX	TRACIE SPENCER FT. THE ROOTS
HOT LIKE FIRE REMIX	AALIYAH
LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE REMIX	ASANTE FT. THE FUGEES
MY DREAMIN' EYES REMIX	D'ANGELO

SOUNDNEXX RAHSAAN REEL SOUL MIXX!

My first male soul artist showcase mixx for 2013 is dedicated to one of the hardest working dudes in the business. His name is Rahsaan Patterson, but fans like myself just call him Rahsaan. I've had the pleasure of watching Rahsaan perform live several times over the last few years. He definitely understands showmanship, and never fails to entertain at a live show. What I like most about Rahsaan is his consistency with making quality music. All of his albums are solid, and that's rare these days. This mixx is showcases some of my favorite tracks from this artist over the years. If you don't know Rahsaan Patterson this is perfect time to get familiar. Support quality music and ignore the garbage!

SOUNDNEXX HIP-HOP ANTIX MIXX!

I've been a real hip-hop music mood lately. It all started when I rewatched Ice-T's documentary film "The Art of Hip-Hop" a few weeks back. It's a solid film, and it reminded me about some of the hip-hop artists that I'd forgotten about. Back in the days when rap was original, exciting and fun. I immediately became inspired, which resulted in me digging in my music archives searching for some overlooked underground hip-hop to share. So, this mixx is the product that was created from the goodies I found. I keeps my eyes and ears on the underground music scene to find artists that still have a hunger for the craft. Artists that possess ginuine passion. I support those artists, and you should too...

SOUNDNEXX GHOSTFACE KILLAH KUTS MIXX!

True Golden Era hip-hop heads are definitely fans of the Wu-Tang Clan. They changed the game when they hit the scene back in the early 90s, and rap music would never be the same. You ask any Wu fan who's their favorite member, and you will hear different answers. My favorite Clan member is definitely Ghostface Killah. Tony Starks is dope, and all of his solo album releases have been solid throughout the years.
This lastest mixx is paying homage to Ghostface by showcasing some my favorite tracks. Put ears on this joint when time permits and add more of the Wu-Tang Clan in your music life...

SOUNDNEXX HIPHOP GIRL STORIEZ MIXX!
The subject matter of women are a common thread in the male dominated world of hip-hop music. Recently, I've heard a few newer tracks on this topic by some of the younger rappers, and for the most part they stunk! There was no originality, creativity or real emotions showcased whatsoever. I don't mind explicit lyrics, but use them with purpose. Younger rap fans need a hip-hop refresher, so for that reason I dug in my music archives for some classic joints.

I made a mixx showcasing some of my favorite raps songs discussing the female species. These lyrical stories vary in content, but their good nonetheless. I think a part two of this mixx will be necessary because I was unable to include all of the tracks I wanted. Put ears on it immediately if you love hip-hop!

WNEX RAYDIO VOL. 1 - SOUL
Urban radio pretty much stinks around America. Music and artists with originality and freshness have been replaced by annoying, cookie-cutter type trash. Not all, but most of it. Basically, independent artists barely get heard, and even some established and respected musicians get ignored if they don't fit within the radio format box. If you are listening for the lastest and greatest artists making quality music the most urban radio stations are useless in 2013. It irritates me to hear the same songs over and over again within a 30 minute period! I used to make these mock radio podcasts years ago I called "WNEX Raydio" that was full of good music I felt needed your ear support. I'm bringing radio back once again, so here is the first of many joints. This is a soulful R&B edition...

THEE SOUNDNEXX RANDUMNESS MIXX!
This particular mixx is filled with tracks that I have been playing lately. I was recently doing some crate diggin' in my music archives, and I found myself rediscovering some forgotten gems. However, since I have been listening to some new stuff too, leaving them off this mixx would've been unfair. They deserve some shine too! This mixx was really fun to make because I tried different track blending techniques just to hear what would happen. There is no particular theme to this joint, and the songs were randomly chosen and mixed. There are soul, hip-hop, R&B and remixed tracks throughout this mixx for your listening pleasure. Put ears on this joint when time permits, and I think you'll be glad you did! Enjoy and thanks for listening.

SOUNDNEXX KINDRED SOULFUL MIXX!
This mixx is dedicated to one of my favorite soul singing duos, and their name is Kindred the Family Soul. I have been a fan of Aja and Fatin since they dropped their first album and nothing has changed over the years. Their music discusses everything from love, life, family, uplifting the people and making world a better place. The best thing about Kindred is that they're really cool and down to Earth people. The soulful sounds that they create is like comfort food to my ears. Personally, I feel like they've been overlooked by the masses, so here is your chance to get familiar if you haven't already. Get ready for some mellow soul goodness...
