Show Notes
It’s ok to be jealous of J-Rocc.
He founded the World Famous Beat Junkies.
He’s easily one of the funkiest DJ’s on the planet.
He’s lucky enough to have had friendships with two of the greatest producers of all time.
And from what little I’ve seen, he’s got a pretty crazy record collection.
A collection, according to his friend Jake One, that contains the single largest assemblage of Hubert Laws records of any living human.
And that includes the family and friends of Hubert Laws.
The Funky President was kind enough to squeeze us into his schedule while he was in town for a gig and bless us with a couple goodies from his 45 box.

I first met Mr. Attic at York University’s 105.5 FM in ’95. It was my first year attending York and my favourite pastime had quickly become loitering around the campus/community radio station before, between and after classes. One of my favourite shows was called “Soul by the Pound” – a program dedicated to playing the soul, jazz, funk and rock songs that inspired the hip-hop songs of the era. Show creator Jeremy “Beatdawg” Weisfeld would blow my mind every week with source material for my favourite Pete Rock, Tribe and Large Professor songs with a level of insider knowledge I hadn’t encountered up until that point. It wasn’t long before pestering Jeremy on the phone every 5 mins for song titles turned into hanging out at the station and pestering him in person.
David Axelrod would have probably scoffed at this tribute.
One of the simple pleasures of being a rap fan is the passionate level of debate and analysis you can engage in with a fellow nerd at any given moment around any given album – old or new.
It’s funny to think I wouldn’t be typing these words right now if Kaewonder hadn’t asked me the question “Do you follow that dude @mastersihn on Instagram”?
