Peace Peace!  Hope everyone is well and the summer has kept people in good spirts.  Yes, I'm a bit behind on the show releases... I've been sitting on this one for a minute as I wasn't sure if this is what I wanted to bring to you, but I also realize that one must keep it movin'.

So, we are here with installment number 8 of the "Head Among Sheep" Series.  A nice vibe on this set featuring the new joints from Goapele, Refection Eternal, Skyzoo.  That meets classics from the likes of Common, Pharcyde, J-Live, and others. It's a "quick" set around 50 minutes in length.  Enjoy, and check back for a new show in a week or so.  For all you tech-savy peeps, get on the RSS feed and get updated as soon as the show is posted.

One love and let's enjoy the final days of summer while we can.

Sup again! Another week, another show. Before I get started, I wanted to send a big shout out to Rapper Big Pooh of Little Brother (http://www.hallofjustus.com/) who sent your man Crate a little something, something which you will hear in the next show. With that said, go and cop his new album "The Delightful Bars"! Again, much love and thank you!

And to this weeks show: I was looking for some newish headnoders and I got them in this show! This week it littered with a bunch of Toronto headnodders, Remixes from the likes of Jazzy Jeff, and some other goodies.

I'm a bit late on this show, but I've been busy doing some thinking about the incident that took place with Jazzy Jeff in KC. If you haven't heard, get on Twitter, Google, ect... and become informed.

It appears that the more things change, the more it stays the same.

No more words, I just placed some of my frustrations into the decks (funny how I lost the frustration and started enjoying the music... as I hope you do as well.).

More next week.

One love.

Sup Ya'll! New week, new show! Over the weekend, my boy Vandal returned from a seriously long trip overseas to reconnect with the peeps and show some love for the T.O. Held at the Hot Box Cafe in Kingsington Market, this event had it all: MC's, Various DJ's, Beatboxers, breakers and enough lovers of Hip-Hop to keep the place rockin'.

This week's show is a snippet of the night with your man on the one and two's. Shoutouts to everyone who came and show'd their support. Mad love for all the Dj's, MC, and the host of the night (Bozack Morris) who came down and did their thing and kept it movin'.

Prior to the start of my set we have the seriously tallented Scratch Cat showin' ya'll how he do what he do. Sick ish!

Stay tuned for as time goes on I will post other sets and performances from the show as they become availible.

Hip-Hop Lives!

One Love.

Runtime: 50 minutes

Spring is in full swing in the lovely Tdot. I know this and you know this. How? Simple: People are out. The sun is out. The sweet cars are out. The legs, tank tops, short shorts and skirts are out. All the beautiful people are coming out from those dark, but all so warm, winter clothes and smiling along side us as we enjoy the few months of sunshine and warmth that kisses the skin.

Clearly, I like this time of year. With that, we move into Vol.3 of the A Head Among Sheep sessions. This, Sping Soul Searching, is a touch over an hour of soulful house vibes.

Sounds of Aya, Tortured Soul, Jon Cutler, Kemdi, Blue Six, Ian Pooley and others can be found thoughout this set. No track listing this time around.

Download, tell your peeps, sign up for the RSS feed and above all, enjoy.

One Love.

So we're back - week 2, show 2. Not much to say on this one, just a nice slection of music on this. I really need to remember not to do these sets when I will be distracted.

Enjoy and one love.

It's about that time. About time I've gotten to the decks. About time I've actually given my direction as a DJ some thought. It's been a minute since I've posted a show here and it's with very good reason. Over the last few months, I've been pounding away on JBradio (http://www.jbradio.fm) and we're very close to getting it done. A couple more weeks. I ask all of you who listen to this podcast to visit the site and sign up as we have a lot of big things coming forth.

With that said, I present to you a new series of shows entitled "A Head Among Sheep". It's a basic discription of where I'm at. The formula or reasoning behind the shows has changed somewhat and I hope you all enjoy this ride with me. Keep posted I'll keep dumping out the goodness.

Shouts to Special K, Shook, Big Chris, Laura, and anyone else who's up on the movement.

One love and on with the show/
