The soundtrack has always been a big tool of mine as a DJ to find those non-album bangers that most people would overlook. I flooded my mixtapes with plenty of these songs over the years and decided to make a formal Hidden Treasures mix to celebrate the soundtracks to some classic films that did a great job meshing the music & movie as well as some others that were probably better off releasing the music alone. Only the most problematic music junkies will have or know of most of these tracks...people (like me) who spent 10$-15$ on a soundtrack because it had 1 or 2 songs that weren’t anywhere else. Plenty of soundtrack gems to go around, expect more volumes, this s a 2-part episode to start so enjoy the first volume…part 2 dropping next.

Episode 28 - I remember 1st hearing the name Dumbtron on a Mr. Lif song and just saying ‘wow…what a great name’….With roots in North Florida & Atlanta this duo features super producers, MC’s & DJ’s Paten Locke aka DJ Therapy (RIP) & Willie Evans Jr. who got started in the group Asamov along with Ja-One-Da & Basic, then eventually came together as a duo called Dumbtron. Some people are reading this saying “Who?”, while others are reading this saying “Hell Yes!!”…The 2000’s were different times for hip hop it’s not considered an “era” or anything close to the decade that preceded it but these guys held it down for the golden era… so many classic hip hop references in this mix from the re-flipped samples and choice cuts for hooks along with the subtle references to classic material applied in the most discrete ways…I also did some acapella blend remixes from a few OG’s in the middle for good measure.

I had a chance to meet Paten Locke once, great guy, super humble, I told him I always wanted to hear an official Dumbtron album but it hasn’t happened yet maybe sometime in the future but I wanted to put together a mix with some of their solo and collective stuff featuring contributions from Diamond D, Dillon, Batsauce, Dres (Black Sheep), George Clinton, AZ, Mr. Lif, Akrobatik, Vinnie Paz, Supa Dave West, 9th Wonder, Count Bass D and other related joints off the Full Plate record label…special thanks to Willie Evans Jr & Dillon Vaughan Maurer for the drops and blessings….Make sure to search for these guys on bandcamp or any digital streaming service you use, there’s much more that what I put together here…One of the most criminally slept on crews in my opinion, they don’t get the credit they deserve..enjoy!

Back on it with a gem from the mixtape archives…The year was 1998… this is technically my 3rd mixtape (that I had out for sale) and since I’ve been digitizing all my old mixtapes for a special usb package coming soon, I wanted to give a taste of what’s to come. The distribution on this tape was extremely limited, only a few choice record stores in Philly carried this one before I expanded to Sandbox, Landspeed, etc…If you have a physical copy of this in your collection, there is a special place in my heart for you! Biggup Fat Beats, Sound of Norristown, Armand’s Record’s and Bobbito’s Footwork in Philly circa 1998 who were the first stores to carry these things…I was also working for Ruff House Records at the time when Kool Keith was recording the “Black Elvis” album and was fortunate to get him, Marc Live (Raw Breed) & Black Silver to lace me with an exclusive promo…

Episode 23A is a year end rap up featuring some joints that I set aside throughout the course of the year from some of my favorite full length projects. I’m not one to claim a definitive album of the year, there were a lot of great/damn near classic projects that came out and most of these tracks reflect some of the better albums that dropped in my opinion with a couple of random loosies thrown in for good measure.
