Fort Knox Five is neither from Kentucky nor a quintet. They’re a group of four dj/producer/musician’s from DC. Steve Raskin, Jon Horvath, Rob Myers, and Sid Barcelona are all formidable on their own. Together it’s just ridiculous. I first came across them via vinyl. In the form of a Bob Marley remix. It’s a must spin in any set. Without further ado, Funk the World Mix 02.

Ima put it on wax and give you the raw facts and truth about life and the things I’m dealin’ with/Black folks saying that I’m too intelligent/And white folks saying I’m a little too n*ggerish/It’s got me in a strange predicament/I wish BET and MTV would judge more wisely/But I don’t know whats worse/The fact that they ain’t playing our shit?/Or the fact that it don’t even surprise me?/Because I ain’t shuckin’ and cuz I ain’t jivin’/Some of these crackers won’t stand beside me/And cuz I ain’t killing and don’t support pimping/Some of these n*ggas wanna call me a Cosby/Well? I’ll be that dude/I’ll scratch that itch/I’ll play that role/Call me Heathcliff, bitch! ~ Phonte (from Boondock Saints)
The Good Fight - Phonte - Prod 9th Wonder - From Phonte’s new joint, this jam brings together 2/3 of Little Brother. via
Time - Easy Star All-Stars - Pink Floyd cover - DOPE cover of Pink Floyd’s Time. Easy Star All-Stars rocked this live recently.
Freaks and Geeks - Childish Gambino - MCDJ remix - Donald Glover remixes his own track here. And, it’s dope. Enjoy.
“So here’s to all those summer nights when my feet hit the sand and the waves break my fall and all my friends around me out number the stars.” ~ Unknown
Never Lost One - Sister Nancy vs Lauryn Hill - Wick-it - You’re probably all sick of me hyping up DJ Wick-it by now, but gatdamn. This is ridic. Combining two of the best female artists ever, Lauryn & Sister Nancy (Of dancehall/bam bam fame). Fucking amazing.
Pretty Lights vs Summertime - As a tribute to the first day of summer, Pretty Lights dropped this gem of a mashup sampling some epic summer jams from years passed. As a lover of Sublime (Oh, to be in 8th grade again), this track crushes.
Summer Madness - NoI.D. feat Common - No I.D. just released an album of random old beats he’s been holding onto for years. Some of which feature Common (this track) among others. Another summertime heater. Are you catching a trend here?
