Big tune! To say the least. Great memories on this one. Sick rhymes, rugged beat… Perfect combo. Chief party rocker Rich Medina covers this one and briefly touches on his search for that crazy drum loop. Take it away Rich.
Enjoy!

My convo got heavy with Rich as we spoke about how Dilla’s sound changed in his latter years. There were some strong points made on both sides.
That said, we touched on Jay’s chop of Mary Wells, “Two Lovers History”. Check the convo and to our newsletter subscribers check your inbox. We sent you some treats.
Enjoy!

This week’s Bling47 Breaks takes us to Philly with the one and only Rich Medina. Rich is a master DJ and shit talker. Some folks know him for his appearance on Smirnoffs Master of the Mix, but his loyal NYC following knows him from his nine-year stint at APT with DJ Akalepse, or as an ambassador for afrobeat at Jump and Funk. I couldn’t wait to connect with him in his Philly bungalow to record him doing what he does best. He’s been crafting dance floors for over 20 years and still going strong. Rich is easily one of the most intelligent dudes I’ve had the honor to call my friend and confidant.
I consider what he’s accomplished as a DJ on par with what Dilla has done as a producer. Both held tightly to their point of view and made non-believers surcome to the gospel. Take notice.
Hot shit!
