I don’t remember if I ever put this up here, but the amount I care about that is dwindling even as I type. I did this track way back while recording at the Look Records Masterplex. As you may recall, I put down a couple of verses over some at-that-time-unreleased Madlib beats. One of them got sampled by Madlib for his Percee P remix project, while the other was thrown into the vaults, never to be heard from again. Until now…or until whatever earlier time I already played you this cut. But you get the idea. Enjoy the following one-verse non-song over a famous producer’s beat that may have since been used by someone for something else!

Part Two of the Richie Cunning interview with Emdub from Thizzler On The Roof.

The homie Emdub from Thizzler On The Roof slid through the Cunning estate a few days after the Night Train release party and sat down with Richie Cunning for his Under The Bay series.  Here’s part one, part two will be available on Wednesday. Big ups Emdub!

The day is finally here.. Richie Cunning’s Night Train has arrived.  The release party was SOLD OUT at the Elbo Room on Jan 15th.  Needless to say we’re welcome back there any time.  2010 started off with a serious bang.  We’re aiming for more sold out crowds… more music and more Rec-League in general.  Congratulations are in order to Richie for all his hard work, both on the album and making this show happen.  The Son Of The City has made a mark for sure.

So here’s REAL gem from the vaults. I had to special request that Grip send me this song today. From 2004, back in the Santa Cruz record store days, Grip did this exclusive for our pal Scott Kravitz’s Christmas mixtape/album serries “Seasons Cretins”. Some good vintage Grip here. Home recording fun at it’s finest. Happy Holidays kiddies.

Hey do you like awesome hip hop? Me too! Thank god for Denton’s own, Rec-League South representative, Fab Deuce. The trio is back with their 3rd album “Deuce Knuckle”. Produced mostly by Pudge, Lone & Juicy The Emissary with one joint produced by Richie Cunning. The record has the familiar up-tempo Fab Deuce sound and mixes in some slower more deliberate funk driven songs. But what about the rhymes? Every verse on this album is action packed, never slacking on style, confident, intelligent unique and always hype. With shades of The Pharcyde, Boot Camp Click, Jurassic 5 or any other mixture of talented MC’s with very different styles working together flawlessly. The three main MC’s, Pudge, Lone & Cheesey Blaine hold the entire album down, joined on “Funky Mother Hole” by QM, and letting Juicy The Emissary out from behind the boards and to the mic on “2nd To None”. They have a record release party in Denton on Dec. 26th and the album will be availalable for sale here on Routine Fly as well as iTunes soon after. For now, enjoy these two gems and keep your eyes peeled for Fab Deuce.

You may recognize this weeks installment of Home Repair as the opening sequence to the widely unpopular web series, “So Freakin Regular.” A series in which, similar to the song itself, is a painfully mundane walk through a plain grass field of normalcy. *Yawn*. Generic? Ordinary? Common? Yup. I was blessed with the coveted fortune to be all of the above. Who’s got time to be socially relevant, and worldly idolized when there’s bills to pay and dogs to walk? Not me. This dinner aint gon microwave itself. So, with that, I present to you my newest release, “Regular.” Produced and cut by DJ MF Shalem. And if you cant get down with it…you’re just way too special for me. Which I think is awesome. You should go get yourself a pedicure, tough guy!

I know, I know, I was supposed to have this available on Monday. Well, dont be such a jerk…geez. Sometimes people make mistakes. But honestly, arent you so much more elated that I’ve appropriately equipped your insatiable appetite for song before the weekend? Of course you are! Now, when youre the grinder or grindee of some random tail at the club, you’ll think of me. And after all, thats the real reason I make music.

This weeks installment of Home Repair is an energetic tune that’s sure to get your toes-a-tappin. I mean, for real son…titties are coming out the shirt when you play this jammy. “Get It“, produced by DJ MF Shalem.

*titties are not guaranteed to come out of any shirts when you play this song.

The much anticipated Season Two is on it’s way.  It will be available for the fist time in all it’s glory Dec 3rd at The Rockit Room in San Francisco.  Then, following Richie Cunning’s Late Night Special,  Season Two will be available on routinefly.com Dec 17th for digital sales as well as physical copies. Here are two selections from the album featuring most of the team.  Thanks for listening, now you too are a champion like Rec-League.
