#RIP Full Flex #TerrorSquad #Video
#RIP Full Flex. Below are words from Liza Rios wife of Big Pun.
" Yesterday I got news that T.S. Full Flex had passed away yesterday. I be honest my relationship with him was no longer once Pun passed away but I can not forget what he meant to us to TS to me. First if it wasn't for Flex my Husband Pun would of never been TS. TS wouldn't been TS if not for Flex. This Man help take care of my husband and handled affairs on the road. For me he was always easy to get along out of the crew he was the one for me who was most level headed. I will never forget the day when he defended my honor to Pun oneday on the road. He told Pun to treat me better cause I was heaven sent and that he couldn't bare to see what he does to me. He was afraid of what Pun would do but he still stood up for me and that I will never forget. Times like these is when I remise about what was....moments that I will forever cherish. #RIPFULLFLEXTS " Liza Rios

@DjDooWop & @lord_tariq - ANNOUNCE JOINT ALBUM ON SLIMSTYLE RECORDS
DJ DOO WOP + LORD TARIQ
ANNOUNCE JOINT ALBUM ON SLIMSTYLE RECORDS
BX generals, DJ Doo Wop and Lord Tariq have announced a full-length collaborative album. The duo have begun recording and revealed a release via Slimstyle Records later this year.
For those fiending for 90’s era east coast boom-bap, Doo Wop and Tariq promise to hit the market with a strong dose. In addition the pair reveals that they are drawing in some of their favorite spitters and producers for an official New York affair.
Doo Wop has been called a “true mixtape pioneer” and “nicer on the mic than most full-time MC’s” by Unkut.com. A twenty year veteran, his 95 Live Mixtape was one of the first to feature solely exclusive tracks from an all-star list of emcees. As a live DJ he currently accompanies AZ and was Guru’s (Gangstarr) official mixmaster for the Jazzmatazz live shows. As a true anomaly, Doo Wop earns praise as a rhymer breaking the stigma of DJ’s and producers on the mic. He has dropped some gem tracks alongside Tony Touch (as The Diaz Brothers) and his crew, The Bounce Squad.
Lord Tariq is both a Bronx legend and an emcee’s emcee. He has rhymed on tracks with the likes of Jay-Z, Ghostface, Notorious B.I.G. and Big Pun. As a duo, Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz scored a platinum single on Columbia Records imprint, “Déjà vu (Uptown Baby).” In addition to his partnership with Peter Gunz, Tariq was also a vital member of respected rhyme-crews Money Boss Players and Bang Bang Boogie.

Message from @LordFinesseDITC ....
" "THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL LORD FINESSE & DJ PREMIER DRUM KIT" Me & my brother DJ Premier have never put together a drum kit as this "BS" is being advertised.. Please do not be fooled into believing you are getting an actual & official DRUM KIT by Me or DJ Premier..
Please pass on the information..
The Great News is I am working on an official "Sound Kit" for the near future that will include both new & vintage sound kits**
Lord Finesse
Had to get this message out there. Producers used to take pride in finding their own kicks, snares, hi hats etc... Even if I knew where a sample came from, I wouldn't even think to use it right behind the next producer. Nowadays there is no pride in Rap music production and it reflects in the "music"
If you are gonna use drum kits SUPPORT anything Lord Finesse releases. Consider it a blessing.
