Sometimes death brings you more fame than anything you can do while you're alive. And while Dilla had mad respect from people who saw his truth when he was on this earth, last night's party seemed to drive that point home. Dilla is hip hop. Happy Birthday Jay Dee. This one is just because we really love you.

Booty Shaking Music

Mr Catra-Sem misterio vacilao nao morre de velho

One of the joys of being a "international" DJ. You get hot shit from all the friends you met along the way. This one comes from my boy Andre, who's just finished writing a piece on Mr Carta. If you haven't heard of him, now you have. Next big thing out of Brazil. . .remember, you heard it hear first. And yes, our Girl in Rio is at it again. This time with a nice booty shaking scene from a Baile Funky concert. Enjoy.

P.S. I've had requests to place an advisory when there is adult material involved. So note, if you listen to this song around someone who speaks Portuguese, they will most likely take offense. Also, our Girl in Rio. . .she's a pornographer of sorts. I call it erotic photography, because it's more artist than just straight pron. However, depending on your moral/ethical/religious beliefs, you may disagree. So. . . you have been warned.
