Props Due: Buckwild
When it comes to that classic boom bap production names like Primo, Pete Rock, and The Rza come to mind but I think props are due for one of my personal favourites. DITC's own Buckwild. On the low the BX representative has laced everyone from Big L ("Put On"), to O.C. ("Time's Up"), to Jay-z ("Lucky Me"),to Notorious B.I.G ("I Got A Story To Tell") and so on and so on. His resume can only be described in one word "Legendary". It's on my "dream list" to work with Buck but until that happens here are a few of my favourite joints.

On My Retro Ish!!!: New York Undercover
Back On my ish! Okay back when I used to worship the crack that is television the one show that I "NEVER" missed was New York Undercover. Every week Detectives J.C. Williams and Eddie Torres would go undercover fighting crime on the mean streets of New York City. NYU was a show that broke stereotypes often associated with Hip Hop. Williams & Torres represented individuals driven to their call of duty who also embraced the style, the music and the diverse culture of Hip Hop. Before I could hit up the club the place to see the flyest wears and the hottest artists of the time was New York Undercover. The cameos were some of Hip Hop's biggest stars such as Ice-T, The Notorious B.I.G, Mary J. Blige and so many more. Fox had it locked every Thursday. And the Soundtrack!? Strictly classic material. Unfortunately NYU's run was cut short after four years (1994-1998) but if you're lucky you can still catch the show in syndication.Times change but As always I'm "On My Retro Ish!"
Take notes, you might just learn something.
