At His Best: Ron Isley

I recently had the honor of speaking with the great Ron Isley. Very meaningful, especially since we pretty much grew up hearing the Isley Bros. in an endless parade of great rap on the radio. Take a look at some of Ron’s favorite sample flips of his own over at Ego Trip.

Productive LA trip! Thanks to @commonwave_hifi @cutchemist @keysystemrecordings @sklutecase and everyone for being so inviting. Ideal way to finish and celebrate the reissue of To Whom It May Concern, the game changing classic debut by @freestylefellowship Nate and I were fortunate to be a small part of (did our best to document the history and articulate its importance through liner notes). Shouts to the @stonyislandpods bros @lifeafterhiphop and @open_mike_eagle for the good energy. Nice to finally meet @seandammit @hipcatscience and @kennysegal too.
Consideration of attendance is appreciated.
Wrote the liner notes for E-40’s classic Hall Of Game album. Just came in the mail! Really cool little booklet and the repress sounds 👌

Did a local story on Vietnam’s first ever rock recording artist. Her songs are incredible and what a life she’s had. At 76, she currently lives in San Jose. Really grateful for her and her daughter’s time. The vinyl will be out on @sublime_frequencies this March. On one of her songs, from 1964, she wisely sings: “Look back on your journey and let things go.”
Really wholesome community event happening today. Consideration of attendance is greatly appreciated.
