New Sh*t .... (Quick Download)

I got this one in the in box last night... Your peoples 14KT just released a FREE beat tape called "Nowalataz".. Some of you "tweeties" might already have scored it cause 14KT just released it.. Then again some of you might have not.. So i thought i share it real quick... The project features nothing but that 14KT flavor that we all grown to appreciate.. Most of the tracks on this project are 3 years old or so and were created with some heavy influence from Dilla (according to 14KT) .. But the project still has some nice production on it.. You just might want to do the right thing and scoop this one up..

*Thanks Steph for the lace!

Do The Knowledge...

Alien Ness aka Rusty Shank from the Mighty Zulu Kings made a power move and just dropped a book called The Art Of Battle, Understanding Judged B-Boy Battles.. Ness drops jewels all through the book, about how to rep in the circle, understanding energy (which is a real big one , without understanding energy you will never gain a presence) how to come to the cypher complete, and many other tricks of the trade your average sap wouldn't be up on.. Usually these types of jewels are passed on from generation to generation after you have built and gained a brotha's trust.... If you are a B-Boy or even might have a "shakey presence" on calling yourself a B-Boy then i suggest you make this your sure shot! "BAM BAM"

Recession Hustling.....

Today we decided to start a new column entitled "Recession Hustling".. The means for this column is to keep people in the know about all them street hustles that save your pockets.. So to start off the first post in this new column we decided to lace you up with a nice little cyber jewel...

The strongest in the cybergame Google is back at it again with a new trick up there sleeve called GOOGLE VOICE.. Google voice is a FREE phone service that keeps you connected wit your peoples worldwide.. (So now you can use this as your new private "hustle number" or "mackin number" for all those honey's..) Some might say, "ahhhh that some matrix sh*t, or how is that saving on my pocket books, if i still got to have the internet"?? Well guess what, your friends got internet right? Libraries got internet right? Cafe's got internet right?? You just got to flip that sh*t, and use these tools to help you progress and live the dream... (Recession Hustling)

Some could even use this Google thing as a way to promote there jams, (info lines) or use them for mixtapes, podcasts, and booking info instead of using there personal number..Or even better yet, say you know a person who is a turkey in those streets, instead of giving them your personal number you hit them off with the Google joint... Ya feel me??(HAHA) The whole concept is a really interesting (cause remember you can also talk live on it, text from it, and still call from it all from your personal phone without EVER giving out your personal number).. It has a lot of functions and options beyond that too.. It's just how you can use it to your personal gain to make it work for you... Now checkout the 2 Google clips and get the info you need...

Sometimes we at Funkwhatyaheard like to throw some undiscovered gems out there for the people in cyberspace.. Let alone throw something up that most sites won't even think about throwing up, or even even have a clue where in the hell we find this shit.. So with that being said, check out this mixtape that was put out by a deejay/drummer who goes by the name of Radski out of Austin Texas (i think).. The mix was put together for his homeboy as a personal mixtape trade.. The name of the mixtape is called the "Funked Out Moog".. That is what it is, it is all music inspired by the Moog keyboard.. I have never heard a mixtape like this with so much ammo behind it.. Must people who even attempt to make a mix like this run out of steam or play tracks that are so played out that it isn't anything to get really hype about.. After i checked in with this mix i couldn't believe the selection let alone appreciate the collection of records that were used (yes this mix is all vinyl) .. The project isn't mixed but it is composed and thought out well.. If you are a break deejay or just a person that appreciates the art of digging and record collecting then this on is for you..

Thumbs way up on this one,
