Duck Season vol.3 is the latest installment in the DJ Babu mixed series. Beginning with the all too famous 'Duck Quack', the intro sets off with the flow of crew partners, Evidence and Rakaa Iriscience of Dilated Peoples.
Here's a random select of some of the tracks found on Duck Season,Vol.3:
*MOP(returning to Duck Season after appearing on the 1st) drops the official first track with a laid back, west coast vibe beat to their known, aggressive, NYC-laced delivery.
*My favorite track on this joint is the MF DOOM,Sean Price duo performing 'The Unexpected'. Dope track with both MC's dropping super-dope raps.
*A.G from 'Diggin' In The Crates' brings the album back up with this track titled 'East West Connection', showing his love for both coasts, ill track, nuff said.
*Bishop Lamont is complimented by an almost Dr.Dre-esque piano beat in 'My Opinion', a smoked out,definite head nodder.
*'Black & Brown Army' is exactly what it sounds like with Chace Infinite and Sick Jacken tearin' up this joint.
*Mr.Slow Flow, Evidence, retains his smooth delivery and lyricism on 'For Whatever It's Worth', a real proper track and will dismiss any claims of his falling off.
*The Strong Arm Steady crew come through with the certified gangster raps on 'O.G';Krondon's nasal flows lay the hook down, with Mitchy Slick(takes the cake on this one) and Phil the Agony to follow.
*Termanology livens up the place with a youthful,bouncy 'Guns Gon' Blow'. Dude can rap,for real.
*Defari calls out the wanksta's on 'That ain't Gangsta'; something to put a content smirk on those that shake their head at what's going on in Hip-Hop today.
***Although i did not review each track on this album, the momentum of Vol.3 is pretty consistent, chill for the most part with a few tracks to get the head nodding; a worthy addition to the Duck Season series, so go out and cop one for yourself.peace, and i'm out~!

Babu's influence in hip-hop started in the 1990s, as he played an essential role in the evolution of the "DJ" with the Los Angeles collective, The World Famous Beat Junkies.Taking his talents to a higher level, in 1997, he stormed the dj battle scene and was the first to win all 3 categories (Scratching, Beat Juggling, and Teams) at the International Turntablist Federation. While continuing to be a dominant force in the battle scene, Babu released a number of ground breaking mixtape albums combining intricate mixing and turntablism. Of these, the most notable included Comprehension, Duck Season Vol. 1 & 2, and his 1999 Collaboration effort Sound Bombing 2 (Rawkus Records) with fellow Beat Junkie, Dj J Rocc. As an official member of the West Coast group Dilated Peoples he stands at the forefront, as the group's DJ, he preserves the art of turntablism and lets all fans know that the "DJ" is the backbone of hip-hop. One of the most documented DJs in the world, Babu continues to appear in both national and international media outlets, including live television showcases on MTV's "Sucker Free" and BET's "Rap City", as well as feature stories in high profiled music publications such as VIBE, Source, XXL, and Rolling Stone.

WOW! What a great CD! Bring back the 80's man! This CD has all of the songs from the earily 80's Break Dancing Era. I enjoyed Radioactivity and Tour De France the most. "Let's Jam, Let's Jam Radioactivity" and "Pal la vue misure, Tour De France Tour De France" (smile). I was a 3rd grade break dancing and pop locking when these songs were released back in 1983. Last, "Shackles" by R.J.'s Latest Arrival was the best break dance song ever written. This is the best CD I have ever purchased that has the 3 most popular break dance and pop locking songs from that time period. This is a must buy and I highly recommend this CD because it contains some of the songs and artist who pioneered Rap and Hip Hop with Electronic Beats, Drum machines, and Mixing and Scratching. "Shackles on my feet, won't let me dance, Shackles on my feet won't let me stand, turn up the music that has a nice beat, Turn it up loud and take these shackles off my feet." Can you see me break dancing I am so happy I finally found these song after years of searching for the lost 12 inch records and CDs(smile and jam with me)?
