B. Dvine's new album Louvre Magnate is out now on all DSP's
The only features on the album are by the legendary PMD (of EPMD fame) and Tone Spliff on cuts. Production is by Dvine himself, yungL!NK, Truck Jewels, DJ Modesty, Endemic Emerald, and Unspoken Virtue. All artwork is by Cuban Pete for C75 Live.
Dvine has been promoting the album hard and hitting the interview circuit. Reception to the singles and album has been great with support from Chuck D, Rock The Bells, and more.
The year of the rabbit is both the year Cuban was born and this year
2023 so it seemed a fitting title for his second album team up with
producer BoFaat.
At a time when everyone complains about artists sounding the same BoFaat does bring that classic boom bap sound but lyrically Cuban sets himself apart from the pack. Covering a range of topics with his unique sense of humour in which he himself is often the target.
All cuts on the album are by DJ JabbaThaKut and the album was mastered by The J. Hexx Project.
Features include Cuban's C75 Live team members B. Dvine and OneMike, the legendary Krumbsnatcha, one half of Dirt Platoon Raf Almighty, UK based Australian emcee Nelson Dialect, emcee/producer yungL!NK, and NY based artist Jus-P.
The album is available on digital, CD, and t-shirts are also available.

Cuban Pete drops visuals for his tribute to BigBob
Not long ago we heard the sad news that Elite Sound International founder Robert 'BigBob' Pattison had passed. Bob was a renowned and respected producer who worked with artists such as Raf Almighty (Dirt Platoon), Daddie Notch (Bankai Fam), Sizzla Kamonji, Cutty Ranks, Solomon Childs, Ruste Juxx, Nelson Dialect, and many many more. His boom bap production brought the best out of MCs and created many classic sounding albums. Elite Sound International, Bigbob's production and record label, will be entering a period of transition to ensure his legacy will continue to live on. Cuban Pete worked with Bob over the last few years, mainly providing artwork for artists Bob was producing. In the last few months they started working on an as yet unnamed album together. Little did Pete know that the first single from that project would be in tribute to the late producer and friend.

20 years is a long time, especially in Hip Hop, and the dedication needed to keep a mix show going for that long is immense.
DJ Modesty has kept the pressure on other shows all these years with a dope mix of the latest boom bap style Hip Hop from known and unknown mostly underground artists.
The landmark 400th episode starts off with cosigns from names in the game such as DJ Premier before launching into the new single from Cuban Pete dedicated to the late BigBob (RIP), followed by an exclusive cut dedicated to Modesty himself by artists Napoleon Da Legend, Mic Bless, Musik G, Raze The Ratchet, Wildelux, and XP The Marxman.
