In addition to playing some old school hip-hop plus Irish & UK hip-hop on WFMU on today's one-hour show I will also present a live half-hour freestyle beats n turntablism session with DJ DnZ, and beatmakers Dawgisht and Bomani -all pictured here on playlist at the session recorded at Hip Hop Slam Oakland a few months ago. This is the never before aired outtake bonus session recorded live with no overdubs (just a couple of edits on the curse words).

Avatar Fri. 9/14/12 7:03pm Billy Jam:

Shout out to Nick Caldarone and all else tuned in today
Avatar Fri. 9/14/12 7:12pm Jimmy in Boston:

lovin the old school - they dont make it like this anymore
  Fri. 9/14/12 7:14pm Caryn:

Oh man, the Irish accent is just icing on the cake.
Avatar Fri. 9/14/12 7:17pm Jimmy in Boston:

what Caryn said - Nice!
  Fri. 9/14/12 7:23pm To Caryn:

And he's a good looking Celt as well.
  Fri. 9/14/12 7:27pm other david:

loving this, Billy!
  Fri. 9/14/12 7:29pm Caryn:

@Jimmy & To Caryn: It's just that most of the Irish hip-hop I've heard has had less pronounced regional accents. Hearing a strong accent rapping about their "loife" is fabulous when you can hear it.
Avatar Fri. 9/14/12 7:33pm Billy Jam:

hey Caryn - be sure to tune into the Irish special in 3 weeks when most of the music (and interviews and freestyles) I will be playing is new Dublin hip-hop and HEAVY on the accents
  Fri. 9/14/12 7:34pm Caryn:

I know, Billy, got that pencilled into my calendar already :)

hey Other David - thanks for tuning in

Timmmmmmmayyyyy!
  Fri. 9/14/12 7:37pm other david:

The horrible thing is, you'd get a lot of people here in Ireland sneering at people using their real accents when singing/mc'ing.

And a lot of Irish bands seem to want to pretend they're from the US, rather than sounding.. err Irish!
  Fri. 9/14/12 7:38pm Caryn:

Also gotta give props to you, Billy, for playing the more political Irish hip-hop. More interesting than the more run-of-the-mill party stuff.
  Fri. 9/14/12 7:38pm other david:

So yeah, real accents = win
  Fri. 9/14/12 7:38pm Timi Dz Nutz:

BBBIIIIILLLLLYYYYY....Shit I was just near your house. I'm miss'n out.1.!
  Fri. 9/14/12 7:40pm The Rapper With No Name:

  Fri. 9/14/12 7:41pm chris:

Hey, Billy Jam! Hey, other cool folks! Really enjoying this set! Yeaaaahh!
Avatar Fri. 9/14/12 7:42pm Billy Jam:

Avatar Fri. 9/14/12 7:45pm Billy Jam:

Note that this is a totally live freestyle session with no edits or overdubs (except for where I reversed curse words) - Pretty damn talented fellows are DnZ, Dawgisht, and Bomani - Love it!
  Fri. 9/14/12 7:48pm chris:

Any pics of the setup, Billy Jam? Tables, beat pads/sequencers? Is that a synth?
Avatar Fri. 9/14/12 7:49pm Billy Jam:

that is the set up but not a synth - sampler
  Fri. 9/14/12 7:50pm chris:

  Fri. 9/14/12 7:54pm other david:

"effin sick!" sums this is up pretty well!
  Fri. 9/14/12 7:55pm Caryn:

Man, in my woozy state that last couple of instrumental minutes were putting me into a weird trance.
Avatar Fri. 9/14/12 7:56pm Billy Jam:

Special thanks to DnZ, Dawgisht, and Bomani for sharing their music with WFMU. Thanks to WFMU board op Dave Emmert. And thanks to YOU for listening to W F M U - up next will be Mr Fine Wine and Downtown Soulville
