Backroad Radio – Mar 26th, 2012 *3 HOUR SHOW*
DJ Premier is a living legend in hip hop music and one of our favourite producers (if not the best) to EVER do it in this game. He recently celebrated a bday and to commerate it we spotlighted some of his work with a tribute courtesy of Bozack Morris! The hardest thing about doing a DJ Premier set is being able to cover ALL the ground. You just can’t, not in a 3 hours let alone 20 mins. But we went through a few our of fav joints from his works of Mart and also discussed which era of Primo we felt was best. If you’re a true hip hop nerd then you’ll need to hear the set and discussion.
Toronto’s own, Twist, joined us live in studio to talk about his new album, “Hip Hop with a Twist”. He brought us up to speed with everything he’s been doing, gave us some live bars and played a couple joints off his album, which is highlighted by a ton of Rich Kidd production.
Lots of new music this week courtesy of Big Jacks and Royale. Listen up for new heat from: SWizz Beats & A$AP Rocky, Raekwon & JD Era, Crook & Rich Kidd, Wiz Khalifa, Big KRIT, Gangrene, Roc Marciano, 8ball & MJG, Puzzle & Paradox, Tyga and much more.
Lastly, monday March 26th marked the 17th anniversary of Eazy-E’s passing. We paid our respects with a couple joints and talked about how the circumstances of his death affected us. RIP EAZY.

Backroad Radio – Mar 19th, 2012
Just over a year has passed since we lost one of the greatest and most recognizable voices in hip hop history, Nate Dogg. 213 was the area code and G-Funk the era this week as we paid tribute to the legendary Nate D-O-double-G with a set from Big Jacks. With the weather being hot and sunny in Toronto right now, this was the perfect time to give you the westcoast Cali vibe with countless Nate Dogg classics. RIP.
We launched our brand new monthly segment this week called, “Get Busy”. We’ll be inviting our favourite established and upcoming DJs on the show to spolight their skills on the decks as well as pick their brain with discussion. Our very first Get Busy guest was DJ Skitz.

Gotye “Somebody That I Used To Know (Bozack’s Fuck Your Life Remix)”
Here it is! My first (real) remix that I’ve released. The original is a big tune, but I’ve always felt the music was really happy compared to the lyrical content. So this is my remix of Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know”. Let me know what you think. Feel free to share this as much as you can as well!
Remix + Instrumental can be downloaded: Here!
