In the closing months of 2012 BBE label artist Chris Read was enlisted by classic Los Angeles imprint Delicious Vinyl to produce a mixtape for Wax Poetics magazine celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the release of The Pharcyde's seminal debut LP 'Bizarre Ride'. The resulting mix was a runaway success clocking tens of thousands of plays online and kickstarted a relationship with the label that would go on to see Chris remix two of the group's best loved tracks, 'Runnin' and 'Passin Me By'.

Those tracks are now available for the first time on this limited edition BBE x Delicious Vinyl double vinyl 7inch release. Treating the familiar original with respect, Chris has called upon the vocal talents of long time collaborators Lizzy Parks (Tru Thoughts) and guitarist Giles Barratt (Breakin Bread) to rework passages from 'Runnin' to create a 2014 update on the themes of the much loved Jay Dee produced classic. 'Passin Me By' meanwhile gets a '90s throwback rework utilising sample material from the original to great effect to create a track which bears all the hallmarks of the golden era.
Mastered and cut by Walter Coelho who cut Jay Dee's 'Welcome to Detroit' back in 2001, the circle is complete!

Jazz Chronicles feat Jack Jones - Ya Never Know (Chris Read Rap Renaissance Remix)

Happy Freestyle Friday y’all.

Here are the Lyrics


Yeah you know a nigga is the one,
I got my own version of misses applebum,
The newest human vagabond,
Undercover brother tryna get him one,
Getting away from rat races to dry plum 
I’m Bond as the word is,
I’m a king but don’t call me Curtis,
They illiterate can barely read cursive 
Go ask James for those hitman services,
They rather flourish off my culture than see me win,
That’s the worst tip,
Herses,
For anyone in the way of the kid,
Ain’t no lane merging,
Hypocrite if Easter your only visiting day for churches,
I double down and blow a gasket for these verses,
I’m steady learning,
Building my yellow brick road from these curses,
On to the horizon for what I’m deserving,
Tryna keep a straight line like why the fuck are you swerving,
Nigga I am your superior,
Thank me for my service,
 
 
 
 
(Hook x2)
 
Let me put me on,
Don’t need no handouts when I take you on,
A vagabond nigga,
Ronin like the sensei gone ,
Recognize I tranquilize competition that come,

Bonita Freestyle
