DJ Royale Presents: “From Boo Boo To The Boardroom” Tribute to 50

December 28, 2009 by grandgroovedjs

DJ Royale takes you on musical journey with Sabrina’s Baby Boy, Curtis
Jackson better known as 50 Cent.

It’s been 10 years since 50 jumped on the scene, even with label set
backs and the near death experience. 50 carved his own lane creating
club ready tunes detailing his early years on the streets of Queens
New York, vicious disses towards his many enemies and of course his
love for the opposite sex.

Not only has he dominated the charts, 50 has shown he is much more
than a rapper with many groundbreaking endorsement deals such as his
shoe line with Reebok, clothing line with Ecko and Book deals with
MTV. He has taken the G-Unit stamp and planted it on film, television,
music and the internet ventures. And who could forget his biggest
business venture to date, as one of the original investors in Vitamin
Water, 50 walked away with $100 Million after taxes.

50 Cent continues to excite fans around the world as a global music
and cultural icon. DJ Royale brings together hits, remixes, album cuts
and mixtape classics. Creating a mixtape showcasing what brought Boo
Boo to the Boardroom, clever and witty lyrics over booming beats with
memorable melodic hooks.

Differently Still Guy #42: Top 25 Hip Hop Albums of the decade! ft. Big Jacks & Agile!

December 23, 2009 by grandgroovedjs

Biiiig up to our Real Frequency Fam (Inzane, Arcee, Pplus, Keezy, Stacey) for years they’ve been a pillar in Toronto’s hip hop community. Each week the Freqs have provided us with “heatery” on the air waves from their college radio days to their current position on commercial radio at Flow 93.5. About a year ago they started a podcast on their blog by the name of “Differently Still Guy” where everything from nerdy hip hop randomness to fine cuisine has been discussed. I’ve been a huge fan of DSG so when they invited me on the podcast to discuss the top hip hop records of the past decade I was geeked to say the least. Check what they had to say…

As we wrap up 2009, we take a look back at the decade’s best albums. Now this being Hip Hop there is no way you can make a list with out a ‘discussion’, so we brought along Big Jacks (Grand Groove Dj’s, Black Rap) and the homie DJ Agile (Brassmunk, Big Black Lincoln) to add their views and take a look at a decade we thought was weak?

Peep the discussion and join in!

DJ BIG JACKS PRESENTS: The Snack Pack (REMIXES)

December 18, 2009 by grandgroovedjs

It’s finally here! This is my first time doing a project like this and i’m excited to share it with you. The Snack Pack includes a variety of random remixes I did for tracks from Beyonce, Biggie, Lil Wayne feat. Kanye, Nas & Luda, Lady Gaga and Buju Banton plus a bonus Janet Jackson remix courtesy of DJ Royale! All tracks are clean for radio play and come with intros for easier DJ mixing! Some people call em remixes, or edits or mash-ups (i don’t!), however you choose to label them is fine just as long as you enjoy them. So check it out, let me know what you think and feel free to share with your people! Thanks to Committee Marco on the design

At this point you should already know that Jay-Z’s DJ, Neil Armstrong, is a good friends of ours so anytime he does something big we want to promote it. During his last visit to Toronto in October he had cameras following him for 24 hours to chronicle and document a day in his life. Peep the outcome and try and spot the Big Jacks cameo!

ps. Look out for our Grand Groove TV interview w/ Neil coming soon as we kick it, share hip hop nerd stories and take an exclusive tour of his crib!
