In The Mix





First of all
I want to give a shout out and a mention to a really decent forum called Philaflavor, where you can find a lot of good tracks, mixes, info, etc., that you might be looking for. I had a dub of this mix when it came out and have been trying to find it again for some time now. I finally found it today on Philaflavor, DJ Riz's 'In the Mix' mixtape from 1997. You probably know DJ Riz from DJing on the radio, WBAU, WNYU, WKTU, or his 'Live from Brooklyn' mixes, or even the party records he put out with the Crooklyn Clan. This mix here brings me back to his days on WNYU, New York Live, it's a mix of the some of the stuff he used to play on that show. DJ Riz always had nice clean blends, and just the right amount of scratches and juggles.

In The Mix 1997



Check out the 4th song on the A Side,
Foul Play featuring Heltah Skeltah, one of the illest unreleased joints ever

    Good looking! I remember that Foul Play joint. Crazy ILL. I recently heard Mad Skillz and Lonnie B rhyming over respect the architect remix on one of my stretch tapes I found. That was crazy.

    Not until I get the eqip. I saw on stretch's blog where he had the tascam 322. That is the best thing for me
    to get. The date for that joint was July 20/21 95
    I know it was Rock Steady weekend. Also Jayz was up there that night. He was weak. He was better when Him and big l repped. But mad skillz is crazy. i have to find the other freestyle with him over land of the lost
    joint. I remember that ILL line he ended it with

    PAPSMEAR/VIRGINIA THE 2ND ONE IS WHERE I AM FROM THE FIRST IS HOW I GET IN YA! CLASSIC!

    i do all my rips with a soundcard, only 30 beans at best buy. all you need is the card and an rca chord from your tape player to computer, sounds good.

    I always wanted to hear his track 'ghostwriter' with the names in it. I remember I saw him live with Large Pro and the Dwellas at SOB's right after that track came out hoping he would do it with the names live but he didn't.

    I have a bunch of Mad Skillz stretch freestyles im gonna do a dope skillz post soon

    The knowledge on this blog never ceases to amaze me. That Foul Play joint is crazy. If I'm not mistakin I believe they were signed and dropped by Wild Pitch. One of Bobbito's favorite demo's he would play was Foul Play's 'The Black Cloud' which was dope. I have a nice crispy recording of this track that I recorded onto mini-disc on Bobbito's farewell show.
