Randome Words of Past Events

Ok. It has been SOME time since I have been audible about much of anything. This is not because I haven’t had much to share. It’s more like, I’ve been trying to play catch-up wit myself. I have to admit that I struggle with talking about myself at times (who could believe someone as self-centered as I am struggles in this area). Anyway it was brought to my attention (Jay/Rebel 1 put an AK-47 to my temple and stole my lunch money) that I need to get this info out to everyone. So, following this ramble You will see posts from me on the following: Life with Kwest_on, Cooking with Kwest_on, Music with Kwest_on, Isn’t Kwest_on Great, How Can I Be Like Kwest_on, and my all time favorite from the occasional hater – Who Died and Made Kwest_on The Boss (subtitle: Why didn’t This Happen Sooner)… Seriously, the topics will include WMC (Winter Music Conference, LoKal, O-Gee (Columbus, OH), Seasons, Thursday Mix Show, and The Foreign Exchange.
Feel free to comment (this means leave praises and all necessary accolades).
Aerias – Cloud 9
April 16, 2010 By Leave a Comment
For those of you who don’t know him, he goes by the name of Aerias. He released his new single today dubbed “Cloud 9″ and when listening to it, it really brought me back to those good hip hop days, just rhyming about fun, dope lyrics, kick back and chill type shit. This is definitely up there for my local Chi-town hip hop summer jams of 2010. Preview this shit! I’m definitely going to rock this at the joints I play at, why the fuck not! You can download the mix here.

G.U.R.U.Tribute Mix – D/L it FREE here
April 9, 2010 By 3 Comments
DJ Scend decided to begin a monthly tribute set for his Hump Day Mixshow here on CRB Radio last month in March. With G.U.R.U. being admitted into the hospital, it sparked a thought in his head: “Why do people only begin paying respect to individuals who have passed away?”
This created the idea for a monthly tribute set that would be played the 1st Wednesday of every month during his mixshow.
He has gotten a ton of great feedback from this mix and we here at CRB hope you take some time to download the mix and check it out for yourself! You can download the mix for FREE right here:
Hump Day Mixshow | G.U.R.U. Tribute 3/3/2010
As always we encourage you to pass along the link to the mix if you are diggin’ what you’re hearing as well as leaving comments on the site here so we can all get to know each other.

I heard our very own CRB DJ, Franco De Leon playing this today. This song is just another one of those “things you love about Chicago” type deals. You just have to appreciate the originality this city produces and these guys are doing a great job at it. Download this one, it’s a club banger for sure!
Big ups to BBU! Enjoy this one Chi-town!

Return of the Wu (Mixed by Mathematics)
April 8, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Since their debut album, 1993’s Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Wu-Tang has become synonymous with gritty, direct lyrics and beats that draw from classic soul, horn-blasted funk, cinematic curios, and dirty guitar licks (among many others.) With each successive album, the group solidifies their hold on hip-hop, watching over the years as rappers, trends and ephemeral styles come and go and become musical footnotes in the game.
As devoted fans clamor and salivate for anything Wu-related, Gold Dust & Nature Sounds are proud to announce the release of Return of the Wu & Friends, produced and compiled by Wu-Tang Clan producer/DJ Mathematics and including some exclusive tracks, lost gems and old time favorites featuring all nine emcees.
The 16 tracks featured on Return of the Wu & Friends were compiled from songs recorded during the group’s critically acclaimed 2000 album The W through 2008, including exclusive tracks like “Steppin 2 Me” featuring GZA, Inspectah Deck and Masta Killa. The producer also offers a slew of new remixes, including “Respect Mine” and “Clap”. On the former, featuring Raekwon, Method Man and Cappadonna, the sprightly piano loop found on the original (from Mathematics’ 2003 solo album Love, Hell or Right) gets flipped into a slower, more ominous track anchored by a funky slap bass line.
On Return of the Wu & Friends, every member gets their chance to shine, backed by Mathematics’ acute ability to perfectly match each member’s cadence and tone to the respective beat. Slower, more soulful tracks like “Da Way We Were” and “Strawberries & Cream” are balanced with classic Wu funk like “Iron God Chamber” and “It’s What It Is” (the latter the new superhero anthem for the 21st century.) For anyone fiending for more Wu classics, Return of the Wu & Friends offers up an album’s worth of tracks sure to fill the need for Wu bangers.
Having known the Clan since the mid-80s and produced for them since 1996, Mathematics is no stranger to the group. Starting off as GZA’s DJ during the emcee’s Cold Chillin’ days, the producer has since gone on to create a diverse and memorable production catalog with the group, contributing tracks to The W and 8 Diagrams, as well as Ghostface Killah’s Supreme Clientele, GZA’s Beneath The Surface, Method Man’s Tical 2000: Judgement Day and Method Man & Redman’s Blackout!.
