Last night, SOBs hosted a B.L.A.P. (Beats, Love & Alcohol Party) producer showcase. !llmind, Just Blaze, Needlz, Buckwild, Statik Selektah, A$AP Ty Beats and Chuck Strangers were all on hand to showcase their work. Shouts to EMETakeover for providing a visual recap for those that couldn’t attend.

He’s a legendary producer, so I call him a legendary producer.
Buckwild laced beats for industry’s most prestigious names: Nas, Jay-Z, B.I.G., 50 and even 2 Chainz (when he was Tity Boy). On the third installment of Media Gasface’s “Talkin’ All That Jazz,” the rare Buckwild talks making bread hustlin even rarer grooves, brotherly love inside the DITC camp, and shares science with the young students.
When I die, bury me inside the Buckwild studio.
One of my favorite compositions from Buck? “I Got A Story To Tell” by The Notorious B.I.G. What’s yours?

Not sure who Sonnie is, but the fact he can get the likes of Jadakiss, Killer Mike, Buckwild and more on his Don Cannon-cosigned project Flight #2012 is pretty cool.

AZ and the DITC beatsmith link up for the first offering from the AZiatic One’s Doe or Die II. Dope. Ness.
Celph and Buck are teaming up once again for the follow-up to last year’s collaborative effort, Nineteen Ninety Now, with Nineteen Ninety MORE, which includes new tracks and the instrumentals to their predecessor. Here is the first offering from that tape, featuring the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League’s protege.
MGF videos are essentially the only virals I anticipate these days. Equal parts informative and mesmerizing, it’s amazing to hear these stories.
This week, DJ Kozi gives us some insight in front of one of Paris’ greatest dunjeons of Rap, L’Elysée-Montmartre.
Opened in 1807 as a ballroom, the place recently burned down, so it’s only fair we went there with a veteran DJ and a bonafide show promoter, and brought back some of that Paris state of mind.
As a bonus, Kozi and Media Gasface have teamed up to drop The Maxi Best Of Buckwild, a collection of cuts from the DITC member’s expansive catalog. Dope. Ness. Tracklist and link down bottom.

Complex recently sat down with the Diggin In the Crates producer and picked his brain for some interesting stories behind some of his classic production. A few highlights:
On Biggie’s I Got a Story To Tell:
“That was originally meant for Foxy. Tone from Trackmasters picked the beat for Foxy, and Foxy heard it, then she said, ‘It’s the worst beat I heard in my life.’ But you can’t knock it because Foxy’s album is so dope and has so many hits on it. So fast forward to next year. Biggie does the song, Foxy comes in, she hears it, and goes, ‘Big, this got to be the best record on your album.’ And then I called Tone and said, ‘Yo, this the same beat I gave Foxy. I thought you said she didn’t like it.’ Tone was just like, ‘Man, don’t pay attention to her.’ [Laughs.]
On Black Rob’s Whoa:
“Lenny S gave the beat to Jay-Z, then Memphis Bleek, then Amil, and then other people. They all passed on it. So Rob does the record and a week later I walk into Def Jam, I hear Lenny playing the record going, ‘I told ya’ll this record is going to be crazy! All ya’ll niggas slept on this record.’ That record kind of brought Bad Boy back.”
On Big Pun’s Dream Shatterer (Original Mix:
“I remember we went to Mystic Studio in Staten Island. He went inside the booth and sat on a stool, and just breathed fire through the whole song. I’ve never seen him finish a song without doing punches.”
On Terror Squad (Armageddon’s) Pass Away [Sidenote: I always told those around me who thought Geddy was trash to listen to this joint]:
“That was Armageddon’s record. Fat Joe said that record was about him. I don’t know if it is, but…”
