B-Boy Easy Roc from the Westcoast is back at it again with a limited supply of some of that true skool flavor by resurrecting some of his classic medallion illustrations. These were originally made in the early 90's and made in small numbers. These were real big with the heads as well as Zulus. I think he even made RSC ones as well as Krylon logo's. He even made a shirt out of one of or two if i could remember correctly.
Total Eclipse is back it again with yet another Mixtape.. This one is called "The J Tape", featuring tracks, mash ups, and remixes from famous artists sporting the J name (J. Dilla, Jay-Z, Jay Electronica). Influenced by the works of the legendary J. Dilla (RIP), Total Eclipse decided to mix Dilla's incredible production with the vocal stylings of Jay-Z, one of the greatest MCs of all time, and Jay Electronica, one of the most exciting artists to arrive on the Hip-Hop scene in a number of years.
