Songs of the Week: Socks Off to
Old School Hip-Hop
Old School Hip-Hop
So, I was able to discover some of this awesome old school hip-hop music, thanks to my girl, Cass, who I had the privilege hanging out with a couple of weeks ago for my first radio DJ observation at WRFL. Cass has this really cool old school hip-hop radio show called The Disco Damie Dance Party that airs every Friday from 4-6pm EST. Check it out on WRFL, 88.1 FM, Lexington. (WRFL also streams online http://wrfl.fm/)
1) Brother Ali
There is no other way to put this...Brother Ali is incredible. This song and music video is such pure greatness. It is dark, edgy and soulful. Myspace link: http://www.myspace.com/brotherali
Video: "Breakin' Dawn"
2) Rakim
This New Yorker's song 'Love 4 Sale' has a really cool jazzy, soulful, type of hip-hop feel to it. So, check it out and you won't be disappointed. Myspace link: http://www.myspace.com/rakim

3) The Roots
The Roots, also known as The Legendary Roots Crew, The Square Roots and The Foundation, are a heavily jazzy, live instrumental, hip-hop group out of Phildelphia, Pennsylvania. Myspace Link: http://www.myspace.com/theroots
