OK, how do I get this dope shit played on my radio show?

Soooo many years waiting to hear this full track. Still sooo dope!!

"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.

Here is the excellent instrumental "Smilin' Billy Suite Pt. II" by The Heath Brothers from the "Marchin' On" (Strata-East,1976) album, sampled and rearranged by Q-Tip on Nas "One Love".
Plus two really good reinterpretions of the Nas track "One Love".

A Quest Called Tribe begin with the series of portraits drawn by Stéphane Carricondo in 2017 dedicated to Hip Hop legends. 
As close partner in art Medline proposed to create a soundtrack for them, and first interpreting ATCQ's classics with elements of the past, present and future. 

The best way to materialize this multidimensional tribute was obviously a vinyl. And it's the one we unveil today. 

On the visual side: 
ATCQ's portraits are composing the front cover and, assembled into a great scene, are printed on a colorful A2 poster. Stéphane Carricondo's natural lines are highlighting each member's soul map. The alchemy of the dark ink on emptiness gives to them an impressive sparkle of life . 

On the musical side: 
The classic themes are transformed into a polymorphic fusion, were jazz, funk and soul from the original sample sources converse with Tribe's characteristic beats. Medline added a hint of his magic, unique rhythms, improvisations, arrangements, original orchestration and inspired melodies. 

The album is an ode to the band that marked both artist's life and mind. A cultural print and school of sound that designed Hip Hop foundations. With a blooming expression Medline and Stéphane Carricondo are going to the roots of ATCQ in a quest for the tribe.
