Al Qahtani,Paul Nice,R.I.P. Bionik Brown

New Orleans MC Bionik Brown (Nathan Woods) was killed in Denver on Monday August 11th at the age 32 years old. (read the story) Like in most places with a thriving Hip Hop scene. He was known,respected and loved by many. I'm sure he will missed by many more.

While I was offline for nearly three months(mid June - August) due to bad computer problems (I hate Windows it's Ubuntu for me now on!)Pittsburgh's Haroon Al Qahtani produced another banging mix. If you liked "Turkish Coffee Breaks" you'll love this mix too. You got to check that Avanlanches (Prince Paul remix) joint. I love that song....dopeness!!

Stylus Magazine writer Dom Passantino writes about this mix:

"...There should be something to suit all stripes of hip-hop consumer on Journey To The Centre of the Beats. Replete with inevitable faux-50s sci-fi artwork and the street cred of Antidote Records, Paul Nice produces a grab bag of frestyls, exclusives, remixes, and bangers, but does so with enough skill to keep it all on target like Jay Jay Okacha free kicks.
