Gym Soundtrack for Today: Group Home – Livin’ Proof

This is pure NYC classic boom bap. Fully produced by DJ Premier, often argued as his best work outside of Gang Starr. Lil Dap & Melachi came from the Gang Starr Foundation, and Preemo’s gritty, beats turned this into a classic.

Gym Soundtrack for Today: Showbiz & A.G. - Runaway Slave

Showbiz & A.G.’s Runaway Slave (1992) - a D.I.T.C. classic and one of the hardest LPs of the 90s. Gritty Showbiz production, razor-sharp A.G. bars, early Big L appearances, pure Bronx boom-bap. Timeless. #DITC #ShowandAG

Muddy walk around Greenway Bank Country Park & Knypersley Reservoir with my wife, Mum, and my beautiful little Shih Tzu, Winnie 🐾💚

Fresh air, roast beef Sunday dinner, then a truly final coat of paint on the studio walls. A good Sunday all round ✨

RIP Mr. Complex 🕊️

A real underground voice—dense bars, honest stories, no takin’. He made hip hop that made you think and feel. Gone too soon, but his words still echo on. An MCs MC for sure!! 🎤🖤

Studio update 🎛️

We hit a few delays making sure everything was building-regs compliant (and upgrading the house consumer unit 😅), but we’ve finally been able to paint the room.

Went with Farrow & Ball Green Smoke and absolutely love it — looks great with the white gloss.

Slowly getting there now!

Madlib’s WLIB: King of the Wigflip is pure genius. From dusty, jazzy beats to abstract, psychedelic textures, it’s a masterclass in production and creativity. Guest spots from Talib Kweli, MED, etc. An essential listen for hip hop fans.

Gym Soundtrack for Today: Napoleon Da Legend & Vice Beats - Promise & Vice Beats - Aspects

Promise is focused, disciplined, built for lyricism. Aspects feels more internal, moody, patient, layered. Together they show Vice Beats’ range & philosophy: atmosphere, restraint, & intention over trends.

Best part though? Catching up with everyone. Proper community energy.

Big respect to #urbanartistry & #cultplexmcr 👊

Gym Soundtrack for Today: Naughty by Nature - Naughty by Nature

Naughty by Nature’s 1991 self-titled debut is a hip-hop cornerstone. Formerly The New Style, Treach, Vin Rock & Kay Gee reinvented themselves & scored a major smash. Treach remains one of the most underappreciated lyricists ever. 👑🔥

Gym Soundtrack for Today: Jaylib - Champion Sound & Remix Album

Running Champion Sound & then the remix album right after. Madlib & J Dilla at their most playful and instinctive. Two worlds colliding with zero ego, pure feel. Timeless records from two of the greatest to ever do it. Classic material

Gym soundtrack for today: INI - Centre of Attention

INI’s Centre of Attention is one of hip-hop’s greatest “what if” albums. Rob-O and Grap Luva over peak Pete Rock production, recorded in 1994 & shelved until 2003. Warm jazz samples, dusty drums, pure feel. Proof Pete Rock is one of the GOATs 🐐

DJ Eprom from Warsaw drops We Are the Biobots on JuNouMi Records. Sharp cuts, warped textures, and a who’s who of turntablists—D-Styles, DJ Prime Cuts, DJ Flip Flop & more. This is one of the turntablism lovers out there!

Gym Soundtrack for Today: NxWorries - Why Lawd!

Spent yesterday on Yes Lawd! and today on Why Lawd. NxWorries is Anderson .Paak’s vocal brilliance meeting Knxwledge’s dusty, soulful production. Both albums groove, swing, and experiment—modern soul at its finest. Every listen reveals something new.
