Take off them JanSports, young backpackers. Put down that bling, Lil\' Hovas. This is Why B and Kid Cut Up’s show, where hip-hop is hip-hop, whether it’s pushing triple platinum, or barely selling 100 units. If it’s hot, they’ll show it love. And if it’s not, it never touches the tables.
No Requests Volume One is their one-disc solution to wiping away that annoying divide between mainstream and underground. Coming in five seconds short of 49 minutes, Why B and Kid Cut Up spin a mixtape utopia, where radio darlings like Lloyd Banks and Lil Jon seem right at home alongside undergrounders like Atmosphere and Minus After. For every set of ears I play this mix for, I hear only one complaint, and it’s the same one every time: \"Damn! It’s over?!?\"
Released in conjunction with the Milwaukee-based Selective Hearing Committee (watch for the J. Todd 12\" in February), No Requests Volume One packs all the boom-bap wallop of Why B and Cut Up’s weekly residence gig of the same name. It also serves as the first collaborative release from two of the most technically proficient, highly underrated DJs in hip-hop. After almost a decade of earning their place individually, Milwaukee’s true best are about to make you say their names in the same breath as Shadow and Cut Chemist or Z-Trip and Radar. And No Requests Volume One is the first step toward that.
