House Of Good Tymez

Milestone Cypher feat. Craig G, Roxanne Shante & Biz Markie

"Smokey Robinson's Hands" featuring Planet Asia, the first single from Libretto & Vitamin D's album Ruty Bladez, is now available!  Hear the song and pre-order the album on limited edition vinyl and cassette exclusively from the Liquid Beat Bandcamp page. [https://liquidbeat.bandcamp.com/album/rusty-bladez]

Rusty Bladez is an LP that revolves around all aspects of Libretto's time spent in the Federal Penitentiary system, with Vitamin D's production mastery providing the perfect backdrop for the true life tales.  All of the art for this release directly utilizes photos, documents, artifacts, and images from Libretto's federal case, and time in prison.  The artwork for the first single uses a photo of Libretto's portable MP3 player.  This exact same device was the only model prisoners had access to purchase, and songs could be downloaded only from the Fed's computer, exclusively from the Walmart catalogue at $2 a song.  Libretto's friend @Sethpaulproductions transferred him money to purchase the player and $100 worth of songs.  Needless to say, this MP3 player was a lifeline while Libretto served his time, and was a key component in crafting his own classic compositions.
