“I felt that the Knicks was going to pick me especially since I was available at 15 and there was nobody else left that was better than me. I proved to be right when Frederick Weiss went in front of me, I mean I never seen this cat so I figured he had to have some kind of talent. But the Knicks should’ve picked me, they should’ve gave me a shot. I definitely, definitely wanted to be a Knick, I wasn’t running from NY.”
That was Ron Artest when I had an opportunity to interview him fresh off a four game sweep over the Celtics during the 2004 NBA playoffs. Continue reading

Nas probably has one of the more vast collections of unreleased material of any rap artist. A lot of those tracks have been floating around on the net for years but of poor quality or riddled with DJ drops. That is until I opened up my vault to give you, DJ Rhude Presents: Nas – The Found Tapes, a nice collection of those songs properly labeled and in the CDQ mastered form Nasir intended his fans to hear them in. Included is the studio mastered version of “Hope”, that was sent to me straight from the producer of the track. It is far better quality than the one that is on the internets. This one is for the fans, enjoy!

DJ Rhude Presents: Path To The Throne – Jay Z & Kanye West

Ghostface aka Tony Starks.
Most artists who have hosted mixtapes for me delivered the standard format. They introduce themselves, big up the DJ, say the tape name, promote their projects and shoutout their team and it’s a wrap. Not Ghostface though. He just unleashed a rant directed at rappers that totally caught me off guard. The end result was hilarity and the best hosting job an artist has ever done for me because it was totally unscripted. Download and back cover after the cut. Continue reading



As I continue with the throwback theme, here’s part two in the WGT now series, We Got Now Pt. 2: The New Movement. I dropped this in 2007 and it featured Grafh, Willie The Kid, Curren$y, Ransom, Wiz Khalifa, Papoose, Stimuli and a slew of other MCs trying to break thru to that next level. Continue reading
Back in 2006, I started a mixtape series called We Got Now with the sole purpose of providing a platform for some of the up and coming dudes who were just starting to make noise in the game. The series had four editions with the homie DJ Scream coming along for the ride on one of them. If you peep the track list in the player below, you’ll notice some familiar names of dudes who are either fully blown or right on the cusp of that next level.
Wiz Khalifa, Red Cafe, Grafh, Termanology, Jae Millz, Stimuli, Balance, Corey Gunz, Maino and Maf (y’all know him as Maffew Ragazino these days) to name a few. I’m going to eventually post up all four mixtapes but for now enjoy the first one of the series. Track list and download after the cut.
New video from the homie Termanology. You already know dude gets it in with the bars now peep the visual to go along with the sixteens.
Something new I’ll be doing for the series is setting off the mix with a throwback track, then we’ll get into it. I got a LOT of special treats coming up in the future so hopefully y’all will join this ride with me. Anyone out there wants a hard copy of any mix I do, just get at me at djrhude@gmail.com. Lets go!
