We went back to the future on this one! We wanted to celebrate one of our favorite HipHop years since there simply was so much heat. 1994 brought creativity, focus and a large input of music that clearly influenced us as we were in young adulthood at the time. 1994 constantly provides inspiration for us so that’s why we wanted to share this special magic for you!!

We took it home with this one. We pushin’ through this season of Rona to bring to you our West Coast Edition Ep. We teamed up with the artist T. Hollis who blessed us with new music and provided us his take of the Jag Life. We cruise through with some new Nipsey x Jay-Z, The Alchemist and West Coast Vets, Blu & Exile. We hit you with some Likwit Junkies, MURS, Reason and new heavy hitters, Pink Siifu & Fly Anakin. Enjoy this somewhat return to normalcy through the West.

We can not think of a more painful way to end this horrible year than us hearing of MF DOOM’s passing. He meant so much to many. From his comeback, his wicked rhymes to his villainous identity, DOOM was one of a kind. We wanted to honor Daniel Dumile by sharing with you some known/not-so-well known songs among his vast catalogue. We will revisit the mask in different ways through his work with Madlib (Madvillain), Danger Mouse (DangerDoom) and Czarface to name a few. We also have various interview snippets that speak to his genius. It has been a true honor to many of us to have had him in our lives. We wish him the best on his transition. Peace to John and Ramon.
