DJ Toshi and Che Broadway are back with another episode of Classic Storm Radio on RadioHipHop.com and Chambermusik Radio.
This week, Toshi sets it off with a couple of Australians making waves… Producers DJ Butcher and Tommy Illfigga… collectively known as The Crate Creeps. Toshi spins the title track from their debut album, It’s About That Time, which features Rakaa of Dilated Peoples. From “down under,” Toshi moves into “parts unknown” for the enigmatic Matt Maddox with Homage (Rights Of Passage) featuring the legendary Sadat X. Speaking of legends, 16, 17, 18, is up next from Al Be Back featuring KRS-ONE and MC Lyte and it is EPIC!
Toshi transitions into the sounds of another legendary figure, DJ Premier and his production for Canibus on the track Golden Terra Of Rap from the forthcoming release, C Of Tranquility. In New York City, Capone-N-Noreaga have been making serious noise in the underground following their signing to Raekwon’s Ice Water Imprint and release of their highly anticipated album, The War Report 2, from which Toshi chooses The Oath featuring Raekwon and Busta Rhymes. CNN IS BACK!!!
After CNN’s The Oath, we demand that you Step Up, as commanded by Shabaam Sahdeeq, followed by Famoso and Bekay explaining the Dirty Fighter mentality. Now, DJ Toshi pulls out a Classic Storm EXCLUSIVE (Courtesy of Cee Da Cuban): My Story Is Yours featuring Amazing Maze, Lord Tariq and Wyldbunch.

After Che Broadway chops it up about this weeks hip hop events in New York City, Toshi revs it back up with Lil Cease’s Hustle Remix featuring Capone-N-Noreaga and Imam Thug. Moving across the Atlantic, Toshi settles in Cologne, Germany with the rising production duo of JR and PH7 with Oddisee, All In A Days Work from their latest release The EP.
Okay… now let’s get down to brass tax: The “CLASSIC” in Classic Storm Radio is making another appearance. Toshi spins the table back 15 years to “The D” aka Detroit, circa 1995, when a group called 1st Down, consisting of a young producer by the name of Jay Dee (who would later be known as J Dilla, R.I.P.) and a rapper by the name of Phat Kat, signed with PayDay Records. For your listening pleasures, we have 1st Down’s Front Street. And while we’re on the subject of J Dilla, his former crew, Slum Village, recently released Scheming, featuring Dilla along side Posdnuos (Of De La Soul) and Phife Dawg (Of A Tribe Called Quest).
Finishing like Mariano Rivera, Toshi spins Nu World from El Da Sensei, Respect from Moke Out and Tone featuring Mr. Met and Crooked I, The Bridge from Canadian MC, Promise, Thunder In Paradise from the Brown Bag All-Stars, Soul Khan, Goldyn Chyld from master lyricist Ras Kass, You Don’t Know About It from M-Dot featuring Masta Ace… And finishes with Foolish from Moe Pope featuring our man Reks.
