Erykah Badu - Telephone

Knowing the back-story of this song gives me chills every time I hear it so it's only appropriate to post it on J. Dilla's birthday. RIP J. Dilla.

A snippet from our tribute along with the story about the track can be found after the jump. UPDATE: I was told by a friend that the song didn't play the whole way thru and it's been changed with a new mp3. (click on the track name to download)

Go Live Radio 2/05/11

In the month of February we'll be discussing elements of a dope Hip-Hop show and feature different Artists, Producers, and DJ's each week.

This week's guests are emcee Joey Gallo and DJ Swerve 360 (producer Kleph Dollaz was ill but we hope he'll stop by before the month ends). Tune in next week when we have DJ Lonnie B, emcee Nick Fury (aka Nickelus F), and producer Diallo stopping by.

DJ Jeff C and I have been working on a J. Dilla tribute all week so we hope you enjoy. All the info I mentioned on this show will be posted tomorrow with the exception of the complete "Telephone" track, which I'll post on the 7th.

                                     

Mixtapes: Ivory Snow - THE FINAL CUT (J. Dilla Dedication)

Canayda x Illa - "Fall In Love" (Ode to Slum V)

For those who may not know, February is "Dilla Month" to us Hip-Hop heads. I guarantee that every website/radio station focused on Hip-Hop will pay homage to one of the most beloved Producers of our time at some point in the next few weeks...and if they don't, they're posers.

Last night I spent over 3 hrs prepping my J. Dilla Tribute for this week's Go Live Radio broadcast and decided to share songs by people I know who are showing love to Jay Dee through music.

This track was played on last week's Go Live broadcast and Mr. Ivory Snow's dedication mixtape will be released at 2:04 pm today.
