What are you up to? It has been a while. I miss talking to you. It's good to hear from you. It's funny...I was just thinking about you yesterday when I was flipping channels and came across the Little League World Series. VP Biden was there and he could hardly watch the game for all the kids coming up to him for autographs. Remind you of a certain venture?? LOL At least America's youth is coming along..."who's Dick Cheney?"
Hey, T. No, but looks like DC's coming to me. Chuck Brown @ Jazz Fest Sun, May 3. I get to open *and* interview him afterwards. I have not forgotten about wanting to bring you here.
THE DIARY Volume 1.5 (20 Years of the Remix) now available for free download at WWW.MUSICOFSUBSTANCE.COM!
“This CD just shows how much Chris Read knows about historic Hip Hop production techniques - Its just a shame he wasn't creating this stuff during the eras he's covering as we would probably rate the man as being up there with Paul C, Pete Rock, Premier and all! - I can't think of another Hip Hop CD I've played so much in years” (ANDY SMITH - PORTISHEAD)
"Chris continues the rap anthology concept of his super-dope 'The Diary' megamix in the shape of a remix project, re-lacing acapellas from 89-2009 with historically accurate beats. 'The Diary 1.5' serves as a great platform for Chris to showcase his ample beat-making skills whilst referencing those who've inspired him." (DJ WOODY - FORMER WORLD ITF CHAMPION)
“Wicked! The perfect companion to The Diary Mixtape. Shows an impressive knowledge of sounds from all eras.” (MR THING - FORMER WORLD DMC CHAMPION)
"Crazy! This is Rap History in the making. Chris proves his production skills on this one to the fullest. A wonderful and refreshing journey through all eras of hip hop. Double thumbs up!" (MARC HYPE - FORMER ITF CHAMPION)
