B Flatt "Back To Basics" Vinyl Release February 1st 2018 | via QRATES ( qrates.com )

Originally released in 1996, 2016 brings about the 20 year anniversary for B Flatt "Back To Basics". The 20 year re-up! This vintage hip-hop project was originally released on Cassette Tape and CD. 42 minutes of hip-hop music, it has been re-mastered and is available, in limited edition, on CD and USB Media Pack (containing pictures and bonus tracks).

The B Flatt "Back To Basics" EP was an independent release from the Big Noise camp that defined a new level of quality, soul and organic music as folks from the Bay Area built their catalog. It was a call to the community to stay balanced as commercial radio began to misrepresent Hip Hop Culture. With radio play and interviews from collage stations, as well as performing with names like Rasco (from Cali Agents), B Flatt and Tyranny brought you that authentic hip-hop feeling. As a testament to this selections are still in rotation, on Big Noise Radio, generating positive fan feedback!

In 2016 the B Flatt "Back To Basics" 20 year anniversary giveaway drew worldwide support. The CD continues to ship worldwide today. Thank you so much to all our supporters!

In 1995 the project was produced by Noiseman on an Akai S1100 and sequenced in Cu-Base, then mixed on a Soundcraft 24 track mixer. Vocals were recorded on a Tascam MS16 1" tape recorder. This was the first authentic hip-hop album produced by Noiseman, after releasing a Break-Beat album via Upstairs Records. Peanut Butter Wolfe, founder of Stones Throw records was a label-mate at the time. The "Back To Basics" album turned out to be a classic, hip-hop collectors item.

"Grits (feat. Masta Killa & Allah Real)" by RZA

Curated by: Natalie Silver

Spotify: http://bit.ly/GritsRZAMastaKilla

Genre: #hiphop

Will Ferrell once told Rolling Stone that the “dinner scene” is incredibly advantageous to comedy because it forces a natural halt in the narrative, giving the writers space to let the characters truly play out. In comedy, the dinner scene is a tame, daily and universally experienced setting that serves as the perfect neutral for outrageous behavior to be juxtaposed against; in literature, poetry, music and cinematic dramas, the dinner scene is equally important for a similar reason -- it’s a window into the truths of individual existences. It’s a chance to look in, slow down, come together, and disrobe the day. At dinner, everything is exposed.

RZA’s “Grits” from his 2003 studio album “Birth of a Prince” is, quite literally, a song about eating grits for dinner, and RZA manages to use the imagery of this meal as a vehicle to convey an entire memoir of his upbringing.

“Grits” is RZA’s most popular solo track, but certainly not his claim to fame. Founder, leader and mastermind behind the Wu-Tang Clan, RZA changed the hip hop world forever and influenced the next generation of its genre’s leaders. Perhaps more significant and special than his lyrical charm, offbeat flow, business savviness and messianic instinct, however, is his uncanny and freakish talent in music production.

We all know this from his work in the Wu-Tang Clan, his soundtrack and film production, his time with Gravediggaz and beyond. But his solo projects are more understated, and what he exhibits in them is something different altogether. 

Of course, “Grits” still has Prince Rakeem’s magic touch in production. Sampling the classic soul piece by Jones & Blumenberg, “I Forgot to Remember,” RZA has Allah Real come in and sing the hook, which is mixed so seamlessly that it sounds like it was written with the sample itself, perfectly setting the tone of soulful retrospection. 

But this nostalgic song is a double-edged sword. It’s a sweet tale of a humble and bonded existence, but it is also one that exposes an incredibly limited livelihood. RZA, somehow, through as few words as possible, beautifully conveys the impossibility of poverty, its social entrapments, and its natural liaison into crime and self-destruction. Though not explicitly referenced, RZA himself was acquitted of an attempted murder charge in the early ‘90s. This song is an ode to his roots, and a testimony to the intensity of their conditions. 

The first verse is about innocence and youth, and the second, performed by Masta Killa, is laced with introspection from the weathered perspective of the young adult, conveying the thrills and tragedies of the inevitable mortality of innocence. 

The song ends by going back to the refrain--the truth that has remained constant, be it retrospective or indicative of the present. Either way, eating grits for dinner every night represents the brutal stagnancy of low-income urban realities, and still the sweet, hearty comfort that it is not necessarily something experienced alone. 

It’s another stroke of brilliance from RZA. This time, however, it is through the song of lived experience--an echo of the past that ages into fervent doctrine.
