Stones Throw Hella International
In one of our absolute highlights of WMC, Stones Throw Records got hella ambitious with its Hella International throwdown, a full day of funk, classic hip-hop, and soul. Live performances from Stacy Epps, Aloe Blacc, and Wildchild had the crowd hanging on every lyric as the performers passed the mic and intertwined vocals over lickety-split mixing from DJs A-Trak, J-Rocc, Peanut Butter Wolf, and James Pants.
Though it drizzled a bit in the early afternoon, the sun shone through while Benji B mashed exclusives in a live Deviation-style set. He was followed by the maestros, Karriem Riggins and Madlib, who took brief but memorable turns at the decks. Presented in two parts, the Hella International sessions are a glorious mish-mash of party jams, left-field freakouts, and stone-cold classics. Close your eyes, crack a cold one, and live the madness all over again.
Special thanks to: Nate, Jamie, Egon, Madlib, Busy P, DJ Mehdi, Stacy Epps, J-Rocc, Peanut Butter Wolf, Karriem Riggins, Wildchild, Aloe Blacc, Benji B, and A-Trak.
