Planet Asia & DJ Concept - Seventy Nine

DJ Concept's a name that's popped up on this site several times, without anyone ever pointing out that he's a native Long Islander. Coming to your speakers from Huntington by way of Lindenhurst, Concept is one of the founding members of the Bash Brothers DJ crew and the Crisis Center collective.

Here, he teams with Cali vet Planet Asia, who you might remember having already achieved greatness in the 1MC/1DJ format on Pain Language, his 2008 collaboration with DJ Muggs. More recently, Asia's been killing tracks as extended fam to Hus & SmooVth's Winners clique. (SmooVth and Marvelous Mag both make appearances here.)

Atomic number Seventy Nine streams below and is available on gold vinyl from Fat Beats.

John Jigg$ - "Bill Cosby" (special cameo by 50 Cent)

Imagine you're a Riverhead rapper filming a video for your new song "Bill Cosby" on Guy R. Brewer Blvd. in Queens when all of a sudden a black SUV pulls up on the curb and out jumps 50 Cent. And then, after listening to the song, 50 decides to do a cameo on the spot. That's what happened here, according to DJ Mickey Knox of the Bash Brothers, who worked with Jigg$ and Port Jefferson Station-based producer DJ Six3One on the video for "Bill Cosby" off the #51631 album, a work designed to "put Long Island back on the map." Guess fortune does smile upon the brave. Stream both the video and the album below.
