Talking All That Jazz

Fresh off the outrage after the Michael Brown shooting, the Boom Bap Radio Crew try to go quietly into the night with a little Jazzy Hip-Hop. Smooth and ready to soothe, The C.O. J-Crush, Angry Engineer and Masta Talka pondered the heightened alert in England due to ISIS, studied tape in the Brown shooting and drank some Twisted Tea with the Obama statue. Kind of makes you want to put on a cool, tan suit and go summering in the MV. Aaaah, oh yeah, Hip-Hop was still blazing hot. New music from Souls of Mischief and vintage tracks from Gang Starr, Buckshot LeFonque; Digable Planets, Common, Jill Scott, Large Professor and Smif-N-Wessun helped set the mood. Ooosah, ooosah. Take it down a notch – It’s Boom Bap Radio.
