popped into my head randomly today, that beat is 🔥🔥🔥💯

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of 93 'Til Infinity, Souls of Mischief graciously opened their vaults to give Gummy Soul the exclusive acapellas of their classic album, to remix for the first time ever. 

As the framework of the project, Gummy Soul’s Wally Clark, dug through his extensive record collection, and gathered all of the songs that were sampled to make hip-hop in 1993. Jazz, Funk and Soul songs, used to create classics from Digable Planets, Snoop Dogg and Black Moon, were then re-contextualized to provide familiar, yet updated versions of some of hip-hop’s most beloved material. 

"I wanted to take all of the records that people used back then, and create new compositions using the same techniques they were using – such as filtered bass lines, classic drum breaks, echo-y horns – to make an album that sounds like it could have been released in 1993," says Clark. "It was an amazing exercise trying to capture the essence of a sacred time in hip-hop. It also allowed me to playfully use samples that are normally deemed off-limits, because they are too well known." 

Be on the look out for Soul's of Mischief's new album "There Is Only Now," produced by Adrian Younge, as well as the 93 'Til documentary, featuring Questlove, Mos Def, 9th Wonder, Pete Rock and more.

Modern Vintage is the new collaboration album from veteran emcee John Robinson (aka Lil Sci of world renown Hip-Hop group Scienz Of Life) and prolific drummer, composer, producer and band-leader Pat Van Dkye (aka PVD). John Robinson and PVD originally met at a show in 2008 and since then their chemistry has grown organically and has developed into the duo performing many formal shows together at venues like SOB’s, Blue Note NYC, LPR and others around the NY-NJ Tristate area. 

Modern Vintage spells out the approach in which this album was made from front to back: The music was composed with a combination of modern technology software mixed with vintage synths and outboard gear, all blended seamlessly with live instrumentation being the foundation. The lyrics and concepts were all spontaneously crafted in the studio, session by session, by letting the soundscapes speak to the lyricist similar to how vintage recordings of the 60’s & 70’s were created. 

“I took a much more structured songwriting approach to the lyrics on this album; my goal from the beginning of making this record was to take advantage of the fact that I am working with PVD- a composer/musician and not just a beat maker/producer, which definitely makes this record different from my other releases. This one is for all the true music lovers worldwide” says John Robinson. 

PVD states “making this record was a dream come true. From the very first session, we set out to craft quality songs that capture a cohesive vibe and feel good. In many cases, JR was writing to merely a sketch of what actually ended up on the record. It felt great to work with an artist who trusted me enough to lend his talents to the music not knowing where I would take it sonically. Live drums, keys, guitars, horns, and synths give this record a distinctly human feel that is present in all of my favorite records, old and new. A modern-day true Hip-Hop record, grounded firmly in the traditions of jazz, funk, and soul music.”

John Robinson & PVD’s Modern Vintage is now transmitting live to the world; catch the vibes on June 17th, 2014 via Brick Records.

The lead single "Still Waters" is a retrospective vision of past days and circumstances. It is a personal reflection on youth and choices made in life that shaped the lives of the artists themselves. Lessons learned indeed.

Waiting for the Finish Lyrics 

(Praverb) 
I know the sex of my child 
Never settle for style 
Start anew, I grew, I see the heaven through clouds 
Talk to my mother, she's been dead for awhile 
Gazing down, I know that she's definitely proud// 

Nervous, searching, feeling the baby bump 
Ditch the Mercedes, I want us to be safe 
She thinks she's ugly, I love her lady lumps 
Second trimester, see the glow in her face// 

Baby growing, it's exposing her waist 
She walks slower, it's controlling her gate 
Think to myself, how much more can she take 
Carrying a seed, that doesn't know that it's great// 

Am I jumping the gun? 
Daydreaming, steady scheming, probably having lunch with my son 
If I have a girl, I'll protect her to death 
I only have one life, heed this lesson through text// 

(Chorus - 2x) 
If you live it, you gotta love it 
If you love it, you gotta live it 
So I live each day to the limit 
24/7, waiting for the finish 

(Praverb) 
Think about success, that's what knowledge does 
Saving bills, put directly in a college fund 
No booze or weed, I want a honest buzz 
Trying to shine without having to polish stuff// 

Look for work, jerk, she keeps yelling 
Work 12 hour shifts, I'm dealing with feet swelling 
We built a boat that floats on hope 
A little bit of faith, can you relate, we keep sailing// 

Built leads against the Heat, we keep trailing 
No longer a beat felon 
I'm overseas gelling 
With the Croup, I'm astute, over beats, in the booth 
Give you my life, this is free speech to the youth// 

It's the truth, I want my own fans, a grown man 
With a known plan to one day own land 
But for now, I'll make it one day at a time 
Living to the limit, staying patient with these rhymes// 

(Chorus - 2x)
