In one of my own original pieces for Medium’s newly launched Cuepoint, I spoke to original HipHopSie.Com co-creator and fellow Las Vegas DJ, Warren Peace, about the time that 2Pac strolled into the DJ booth and Suge Knight’s 662, and destroyed his Biggie vinyl. Read here, true believers…

Here’s the promo spot for Tryst and XS Memorial Day weekend. Along with Jermaine Dupri, Manufactured Superstars, DJ Spider, A-Trak, Afrojack, Deadmau5, Feed Me, of course the local residents DJ Pizzo, Warren Peace, Derrick Anthony will be holding it down. I’ll be playing with A-Trak.

Not often that we ask the HHS massive for a favor, but looks like founders DJ Pizzo and Warren Peace are nominated in JackColton.Com Vegas DJ awards. I’m up for Best Main Room DJ and Best Music Director for Tryst and XS, while Warren Peace is up for Most Talented DJ. Return the favor and vote at JackColton.Com. Thanks in advance…!

This mix was done for Dilated Peoples 20/20 LP by The Inhumanz, an old DJ/remix collective made up of Dave Fogg, Warren Peace, DJ Pizzo, DJ Destroyer, and Chris Myrikel. This was well into Dilated’s career, so the aim for this mix was to look back at their career up through 2006 – there’s about a decade of Dilated remixes, b-sides, lost joints, and some exclusive Inhumanz remixes and blends included herein.

Meanwhile, we will be announcing WHO IS TOP SHOTTA? for Feb-Mar tomorrow. Prizes are incoming…..

Producer of Chris Brown’s “Look At Me Now” returns to XS Las Vegas on February 14th. You’ll see HHS co-founder Warren Peace at the 1:59 mark. You know how we do.

This freestyle kind of ages us, doesn’t? Way back one night in 1997, Madlib and The Lootpack came up to the #1 show in your area, KUNV’s Word Up, and blessed us with an exclusive freestyle, with your favorite hip-hop blogger on the 1 & 2. Ah, humble beginnings, huh?

In other news, be sure to grab Madlib + Guilty Simpson “OJ Simpson” digitally, exclusively @ StonesThrow.Com.

Madlib + DJ Pizzo – “Word Up Show Freestyle (1997)” (MP3)

This has been sitting in the cassette archives for a while now, but we’ve finally moved over to digital format for your consumption. This was recorded on KUNV’s legendary Word Up Show in 1997, when Hieroglyphics came through and demonstrated the art of freestyling. On the wheels are HHS founders Warren Peace and DJ Pizzo, and on the mic are Del and Souls of Mischief. This is exactly what Waka Flocka Flame is afraid of….
