The Wonder Years

Happy Birthday to Stevie Wonder. One of my all time favorite musicians and artists. I believe Stevie's influence on hip hop is up there with the likes of James Brown amongst others. The growing number of artists & producers who have sampled his work in the past 3 decades grows yearly...everyone from Snoop Dogg to 'Ol Dirty Bastard, to Rick Ross. It seems that almost every producer, artist, musician has been influenced by his work at some point in time.

My favorite Stevie Wonder album would most definitely be Talking Book.

I know in most people's opinion, "Innervisions" may show his genius at full form & "Songs in the Key of Life" may be his masterpiece, but "Talking Book" balances his musical genius and his emotional core. Steve Wonder was only 22 when this album was recorded and he truly showed his talent and artistic expression. They don't make 'em like that not more!

Beats 4 Lunch

In 2005 Terry Monday, Program Director of Perry Publishing & Broadcasting approached me via MySpace after hearing some clips of my scratching on CDs & Mixtapes. He thought there wasn't enough DJs doing things on turntables in his community of urban listeners and wanted to do something different to let them know that raw scratching, turntablism, and envelope pushing in The DJ community was alive & well. Beats 4 Lunch was born. The show aired every Friday at noon and had a different theme every week along with weekly guests and a segment devoted to a live on air mix. After my stint doing this program out of KVSP Power 103.5 in Oklahoma City along with the 5 markets it aired on I had to leave due to my obligation touring with a popular Top 40 but I will soon be posting more of the infamous mix segments. Enjoy!

RIP GURU - A letter to Guru

Your music with Gang Starr made me a big part of who I am today. You will always be a legend and one of the key historic figures in hip-hop history. The way you and Primo worked on music, such as writing out a tracklist and him making the beats without even hearing the lyrics...stuff like that will never take place again. When you passed away I didn't have to start listening to your music again because I never stopped. Rest In Power & Peace. I would really like to touch on the Solar topic but I'm not at the moment...

RIP GURU

Lester Diamond

When Nike SB worked with Nick Tershay and Sam Smyyth of Diamond Supply Co. and Girl Skateboards respetively back in 2004 on their Team Manager series of Nike SB Dunk’s, only one pair of the two made it to retail. The one that never made it to retail was deemed the “Gucci” Dunk while the colors actually came from Smyth’s nickname, RESN, which stands for Red for Fire, Green for Weed, and Black for “RESN”. While only a few pairs of the Nike x RESN “Gucci” Dunk sample’s made it out of Nike, Nike SB will be releasing these as a part of their Holiday 2009 Collection. To commemorate the release, Diamond Supply Co. and RESN worked together to create this Lester Diamond “Gucci” t-shirt that will drop around the same time as the Nike SB Dunk in the US. via CtotheJL
