Pittsburgh Net Radio

PREMO AND FRIENDS MIX

This is an earlier mix that Peter Divito did back in late 2005 for the Pittsburgh Net Radio broadcast stream. I always dug this mix because it gives some props to some unheralded soul, jazz and R&B songs that were sampled in modern day hip hop. It's a good education and a real interesting listen. Setting the playlist to random is not recommended here. - Brian Cosgrove

DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH MIX

This is a mix of hip hop that I feel is overlooked and underrated. The most recent issue of 20/20Proof deals with underrated hip hop albums and features various artists from the 90s who are continuing to put out dope albums in an industry that tends to forget anyone over the age of 25.

Episode #1

1. Yaggfu Front-Hold 'Em Back (What's The Meaning?)
Should be played for anyone who has misconceptions about hip hop.

2. 3 Steps From Nowhere- Pass It On
A really dope song from an otherwise medicore record. The remix featured Trugoy from De La, but lacked the strength of the original mix.

3. Dred Scott-Liar
How Dred Scott didn't get the recognition he deserved is beyond me.

4. Saafir-Can-U-Feel-Me?
One of the most original flows in hip hop.

5. Guru-Respect The Architect (Buckwild Remix)
Buckwild is easily one of the most underrated producers in hip hop history and does a great job with an already dope track.

6. Down South-Southern Comfort
The use of the Charlie Parker sample blew my mind as a kid and still does.

7. Diamond D-This One
Everyone knows about Diamond D's classic debut Stunts, Blunts and Hip Hop, but overlooked his record Hatred, Passions and Infidelity. This is a nice little joint featuring Busta Rhymes.

8. Keith Murray-What A Feelin'
Keith Murray was a highly talented MC whose career went downhill after he beat some guy with a barstool.

9. Leaders Of The New School-Daily Reminder
Before Busta Rhymes was a cocaine trafficker.

10. Freddie Foxxx-So Tough
Best known for making show stealin guest appearances.

11. NO I.D.- State to State
Common's producer showed that he was capable of holding his own on the mic with a nice vocal sample as the hook, which nobody seems to use in hip hop anymore.

12. Heather B- All Glocks Down
You may know her from season 1 of The Real World, but she could hold her own on the mic. The production by Kenny Parker, KRS One's brother is extra nice.

13. YZ-The Return Of The Holy One
Dropped some nice styles on this energetic gem.

14. Kwest The Madd Ladd- Herman's Head
A dope battle rapper with a great sense of humor. This track displays his storytelling abilities and differed from other tracks on his lone release.

15. Witchdoctor-The Ancient Sahore
Part of The Dungeon Family and can be heard all over Outkast and Goodie Mob's albums. A very eerie track.
