Here’s some classic shit for all the dP fans out there. Before the Combat Jack Show there was a vanity project I started called The Internets Show. It was a podcast that was raw and unrehearsed. Listening to this episode makes me understand why the Combat Jack Show is so powerful. The power of personalities bouncing ideas from one another in real time is the right formula I was missing.
Still, there is an evolution of consciousness on the Combat Jack Show which can be traced to these early podcasts I crafted. Come along for the journey with me Internets. It. Does. Not. Stop.
DJ Franchise: Futurized Funk…
Saturday, September 29th, 2012
Our Bay area big homey DJ Franchise drops off a mixtape in honor of his fallen comrade DJ Matthew Africa he has titled ‘Futurized Funk’…
“Widely known for his influential musical presence with B.I.G.’s “Ready to Die”, Easy Mo Bee brought a futurized funk to hip-hop/soul that has not been paralleled. His work with so many greats (Biggie, Busta, Kane, Miles Davis) still demands to be recognized. This mix helps serve that purpose.
Dedicated to and inspired by my good friend, Matthew Africa (RIP)“
Happy New Year ‘Trane…

I can remember when I first really heard John Coltrane and how I felt he was on this mission to find God with his instrument. Actually, he had found God and he was looking to constantly commune with God via music.
The human voice is a beautiful instrument and by extension the horns which magnify its radiance. This video clip is a little bit of church and for those that believe its a little bit of heaven. Happy new year John Coltrane.
Lunchroom Battles: The Mixtape…
Tuesday, September 11th, 2012
What was it about rap music that made you tune in so completely? Was it the deft use of language? Was it the boom bap of the drumbeat? Whatever it was that made you fall in love with rap music when you first heard it is contained on this mixtape produced by my homey Gudtyme.
Lunchroom Battles is a compilation of some of the more rare early rap recordings from legends like NaS, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap and Slick Rick, plus other rap heroes gone but never forgotten. Lunchroom Battles is a document to how far rap has come since people were taking this shit as a joke, a passing fad with a chain and a rope.
Gudtyme called this first edition of what will be a series of mixtapes; ‘Lunchroom Battles: Desperately Seeking Vanessa‘. You have to read the drop he wrote to fully understand the title. BTW, the nude pic of Vanessa Williams is NSFW
