An open-book audio reading of what can turn into a full scale saga, if these chumps continue to let their egos govern their actions towards others.  This track, produced by Strange Matter, has emerged from the camel's back breaking, specifically due to an ongoing history of disrespect towards fans, artists, show-goers, common people, and the city in general of Des Moines, Iowa from this pseudo-rap crew made up of the cast of Dirty Dancing, more commonly referred to as DoomTree, with the most notable offenses being attributed to little Mikey Mictlan.

Here's a nod to the past.  A recent request for old Gutter Bros. joints resulted in this excavation.  Gutter Bros. was myself and my old partner in Rhyme, Shaoo Zulu.  Recorded maybe a decade ago and released a year and change later, the memory on who produced it is fuzzy, but it would've had to have been Bashir of Cedar Rapids, now out in the Bay, Aeon Grey who later co-founded Maxilla with myself, Yao of San Fran, or Just Beats of Alabama, who sourced several tracks for a project that never saw the light of day.

Another blast from the past. A recent request for old Gutter Bros. joints resulted in this excavation. Gutter Bros. was myself and my old partner in Rhyme, Shaoo Zulu.  This was completed and heard by a few closer to 8 yrs ago, maybe recorded in '05 though. "Good December," produced by Aeon Grey

More throwback ish. A recent request for old Gutter Bros. joints resulted in this excavation. Gutter Bros. was myself and my old partner in Rhyme, Shaoo Zulu of Chicago.  This was recorded back around '05 Madelinesoul LLC days. The project was never released. "Intermission," produced by Yao of San Francisco.

From WAAY Back, another joint from the 04-06 pre-Maxilla vault. A side single I touched on a joint produced by the man, Purify.  These joints were never made part of any particular project...

With Des Moines, Iowa's upcoming graffiti writing event Correct Flow 3: Color Codes on the horizon, I caught up with one of our participating writers, RAS ONE to hear his thoughts on the culture, how he got started, and a few gems here and there. An MC and bboy as well as a writer, RAS is a representative of the Universal Zulu Nation, world renowned CBS, LORDS crew, ARSK, ARS, AOD, UM and the list goes on. Tune in to hear it all. With close to two decades of experience in building his own way and studying independently as well as receiving bits of direct tutelage from Mr. Wiggles of Rocksteady Crew as well as others, the interview, while reminiscent and a joy to conduct in general, also provides beneficial insight to both aspiring and veteran practitioners and hip hop heads alike.

One day in Two Thousand and somethin' (memory's foggy, these days), for no reason at all, I traveled to Denver at the behest of my man, Mane Rok of Stay Tuned to rock the stage at a show featuring Pete Rock, CL Smooth and more.. So I guess that WAS the reason... Anyway, I ended up connecting with the man, Robust, who happened to be in the Mile High at the time, and needed to pass some time....and thus... Sidework. Lightweight. Dreas on the beat.
