"For this episode I decided to use nothing but 
vocals from Black Thought and Malik B of the Roots. 
It's kind of a mini tribute to one of the greatest rap 
groups of all time. I chose to use these vocals because 
I've always been a huge fan of the Roots and because I'm 
getting really excited about dropping the album 
"Unpredictable" with Malik B.

If you watch to 2:00 minutes you will see that I invented a new
way to rock the (digital) turntables. Have you ever seen somebody pick
their turntables up and play them like a guitar before? Now you have.

Instrumentals:
Undefined (look out for Jem Cretes rocking over the beat)
Kings Beat (from the Freeway and Tek song)
June 2007 (from Green Future)
Unreleased Instrumental

Vocals:
"In The Ghetto (Wake Up!)" J Period feat. Black Thought, Rakim and John Legend
"Get Busy" The Roots
"You Don't See Us" The Roots
"Metal is Out' SNIPPET Malik B and Mr. Green feat. Benefit

Shout out to Pioneer/Serato for making the
DDJ- SR, a piece of equipment so dope
that I can pick it up and play it like a guitar.

Big Shout out to Dj Critical Hype for hooking up the Acapellas.

Huge shout out as always to the video master Sam Lipman-Stern on the cut. -Green"

The History: Emerging out of Oldominion, one of the most prominent crews to represent out of the Northwest, Boom Bap Project had a distinct musical goal in mind. The plan was revealed in the group's name –hard beats and hard rhymes– a.k.a that good ole Boom Bap. Armed with strong Hip Hop sensibilities, unbreakable confidence, and lyrics primed to hit you directly in the head, Nightclubberlang (a.k.a Karim) and Destro Destructo attack the mic relentlessly, as their vocals ride atop hard-hitting production from an accomplished line-up of beat-makers; Jake One, Vitamin D, Bean One, Jumbo The Garbageman (of Lifesavas), Snafu, Sayeed, DJ Scene, and Mr. Hill. The album is enhanced by scratch work for DJ Scene, as well as some quality guest appearances from Gift Of Gab (Blackalicious), Rakaa Iriscience (Dilated Peoples), DJ Vin Roc, The Lifesavas, Grayskul, Snafu, and Choklate. Then, just before the release of Reprogram, Boom Bap Project also released the free mixtape, "Welcome To Seattle", to give the world a taste of what was to come. This mixtape featured a wealth of freestyles, rarities, and unreleased music, including verses from Supernatural, Cool Nutz, One Be Lo, and JFK of Grayskul. "Welcome To Seattle" now comes as a FREE D/L when you buy "Reprogram" (CD, LP, or MP3) at FifthElementOnline.com.

This Iz Tha Time (Produced By DJ Premier)

Tame Impala - New Person, Same Old Mistakes (MvK Lxui$ RemiX)

After dropping subterranean classics with Sidewalk Science and Concrete Soul, Brick City veteran Beneficence is back with a new album, Basement Chemistry; which will be released on 1-29-2016 via Ill Adrenaline Records. 

Armed with the true sounds of the golden era, Benef drops rejuvenated flows and shares mics with hip-hop's elite lyricists on Basement Chemistry, including Inspectah Deck, Masta Ace, MC Eiht, El Da Sensei, AG, Dres and Chubb Rock among others.  Once again the Artifacts affiliate traps the listener into slick, thought provoking rhymes backed by hard hitting yet soulful production from DJ Spinna, Da Beatminerz, Confidence and L'Orange.

The album's formula stays true to the game, official boom-bap, with obscure samples and intricate cuts; which the albums first leak, “Digital Warfare” featuring Inspectah Deck more then verifies.

OK, so while we are all waiting on "Life Is Good", still full of optimism that it's gonna be "God's Son 2" NOT "Nastradamus 2", let's not just play to death "Nasty" and "The Don" but instead re-visit Elzhi's amazing homage to Nasir Jones's classic debut. The "Elmatic" project finds the ex-Slum Village emcee and Detroit resident creating new songs out of Nas’s original titles from "Illmatic" while rapping over the Will Sessions Band’s interpretation of the original beats. Sounds complicated? It couldn't be simpler. Pure niceness!

Elzhi - Represent

While I was in the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman - in 1947 - I recorded some of my prisoner friends singing and playing harmonica.
