DJ Mike Rizzy

Took it back to how I started on this one. Went back and recorded using the vinyl record crates that I used to DJ parties with before I switched to digital. Using these songs and the actual records brings me back to the days I don't miss when I'd have to lug around a whole bunch of heavy crates and a DJ coffin. My back hurts just thinking about it. This mix feels like a time capsule for real. Shouts to my Kuya Tribe bros DJ Kuya D and DJ Delinger who came through on this one. Till next time....

Thank you Jay Dee. A little something short and to the point to add to the other tributes I've done for Dilla. Turn it up.

This is random. As a fan I got excited that Little Brother reunited on stage. Not sure what that means for the future but that's definitely a step in the right direction. Anyways, I started listening to joints and eventually just hit record and went in. This is what came out. Spontaneous. Hope you feel it.

Q-Tip is possibly my favorite artist. I've learned so much from just studying his catalog over the years. Without his influence, my personal taste and every way I perceive music would be totally different. So with Summer upon us I just felt like doing something fun and paying homage to the legend while we all wait for the new album to come out. Hope you like it. Intro I like It Blend - Jomanda To Each His Own - INI Gettin Up - Q-Tip Electric Relaxation - A Tribe Called Quest Let's Ride -...

It's been a long time I know I know. But I'm finally back and here for good. It's been a few years since I dropped a slow jam mix. With Valentine's Day around the corner I figured it's a good time for a new one. 2017 was a busy year of me trying to work on my production chops and I'm still working on it. But I'm definitely going to keep feeding the streets with mixes more frequently again because I'm a DJ first. Hope you guys enjoy this latest mix and thanks for still listening. Nothing but...

Back again with another mix for you guys. With all the craziness going on in the world these days I just wanted to come with something fun for Summer. If this mix can make you forget about your problems, make you dance, laugh or smile then I did my job. Here's to Summer or play this when you just want it to feel like it's Summer.

Back again. This time around I decided to come with an instrumental homage to the legendary Soul Brother #1 Pete Rock. Lately I've just been tired of what I hear on the radio and just needed a dose of soul. So who better than the Chocolate Boy Wonder. All these beats are mixed together so you can have the longest freestyle session or DJ's can cut to this all the way through. Can't provide a track listing because some of these beats just don't have names. Anyways enjoy and I'll see you on the...

Finally back and this time around just wanted to spread some love to all of you the best way I know how. Put together this short set to take you through the ups and downs of love. Hope you can relate.

Finally back again. This time around I'm focusing on the legendary DJ Premier. I remember buying whole albums as a kid just to hear the one track DJ Premier produced. Anyways take a listen and hopfully you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

This mix is just how I'm feeling at the moment. A little mix of songs that I'm personally into where we can all just stop, relax and take time to enjoy these Summer nights. Enjoy.

It's been a minute since I made something new but this one is different. As a kid listening to mixtapes, I always loved listening to blends. It was always amazed me how a different beat to a song can give it new life and a whole different feel. So this mix is basically me paying homage to all the blend tape DJ's that came before me and putting my own twist to it. I won't even list the beats blended to kind of give an element of surprise.

Mos Def is undoubtedly a legend and all time great in the rap game. As pure a lyricist as they come with plenty of style to match. I make single artist mixes as a way of paying homage to all of the artists and musicians that I listen to and respect so this one was long overdue. If you're not familiar with the man's catalog here's a nice little run through some of his choice cuts to get you familiar. This one's for Brooklyn.

It's getting cold out here in the east coast. Figured it'd be a good time to drop some smooth relaxing tunes for those cold nights and late night drives.

D'Angelo is without a doubt my favorite R&B artist of this generation. In every sense, the man is a true artist. He's the total package. I remember hearing an interview from the late great J Dilla and he was speaking about how he can play, but the way D'Angelo plays is just out of this world. On a talent scale you wouldn't be far fetched to compare him to Stevie Wonder. He's just that good. If you watch his live performances you'll hear not just women but grown men just losing it to every...

Just some of my favorite tracks from the Rawkus era. The focus here is mainly on Mos Def, Talib Kweli, and producer Hi-Tek. Enjoy and don't forget to rate me with 5 stars in iTunes. Thanks.

This is a Nas tribute I did recently and actually pressed some copies but quickly sold out. It's no secret that I believe that Nas is the greatest MC to ever touch a microphone. So here's a tribute to the Queensbridge representative.

I was watching the BET Awards and caught that R Kelly performance tonight. It reminded me that I had this mix just collecting dust so I just figured I'd share. Baby making music at its finest.

Went back into the archives for this one. This is a live New Jack Swing mix I did I think about 4 years ago or so. Like I said this was done live with mess ups and all for you to laugh at. Everybody loves some classic New Jack Swing. It was just a good era for dance music. This era will always be special to me because of all the childhood memories and all of the old videos I used to watch. Hope you can relate. Enjoy.

This is a mix I did in collaboration with the good people from The Art Of Reuse in Toronto. They're opening their online shop so this mix was made to coincide with their web launch. The extremely talented artist Sean Brown asked if I'd be willing to do a NERD/Neptunes mix. Of course me being from VA thought that was a great idea. I know the Neptunes discography very well so I knew I'd do justice with this as well as represent for my home state. Everybody knows the story of Pharrell and Chad...
