Urbanbugs is a documentary from Turkey which focuses on street art concept and extensions of it like Graffiti, Stencil, Wheatpasting. Besides their visual contribution to the urban life, these street arts became a sociological matter due to the their political messages. In this context, this documentary is trying to analyse the sociocultural reflections of street art concept in Turkey.

Peace and welcome to this special bonus Episode of Nitty Gritty Radio. Since today is the Vernal Equinox (aka the first day of Spring) I thought it would be fitting to hit you with an uplifting springtime mix to help shake off the winter blues! So I put together this compilation of old Funk/ Soul records from the 60's and 70's, the musical seeds that would later grow into the sounds sampled by many producers from Hip Hop's Golden Era.

The first time I ever heard any DJ do a mix like this was back in '97 on The PimpGear History 101 Mixtape. DJ 7L (from 7L & Esoteric) was on the mix and he dug deep into his collection to put together the perfect blend of funk/ soul records that, at the time, I was hearing the originals for the first time. Needless to say I was mesmerized by this mix, in fact I made 3 copies just in case something happened to the original tape, haha. Well the years have gone by and over time I've had a chance to collect a few of the same joints and this is my humble attempt to give you all that same feeling I had back in '97 hearing 7L's mix for the first time.

So if you have some spring cleaning to do or if you just want to open up some windows and let a breeze come in, this mix will definitely help the soul do some tiptoein' through tulips!!

New York Hip hop duos have always shared a connection, whether it be their music influences growing up, the content and style for which they ascribe to, or past events in their youth. Lone Ninja and June Marx, who make up Twin Perils, are no different. Both Brooklyn-based, where they initially crossed paths at a Masta Killa show in 2005, Ninja and Marx focus their lyricism on various tactics of war and combat, emphasizing the demise of anyone who stands in their way. Titling their debut album Dark Alliance, Twin Perils look to hit their listeners with a demolishing one-two strike of raw lyrics mixed with hard-knocking beats."Core of Vengeance" Available on UGHH, Amazon Access Hip Hop
