80 Block from Tiffanys

After releasing solid Hip-Hop albums two years in a row with 2012's Blood and 2013's Reflectionz, SciFi Stu is ready to kick in the door for 2014. Teaming up with HiPNOTT Records, the Scottish producer is gearing up to release his magnum opus Thru Life, set for release later this year.

The album's first single and title cut, "Thru Life", lets it be known SciFi's boom bap trade skills are first class. Featuring power bars from yU (of Diamond District), Boog Brown, and Hus Kingpin and complete with precise DJ cuts from Chinch 33, "Thru Life" should allow SciFi to finally get his just due!

Lord Finesse - The SP1200 Project: 12-Bit Grit EP (SNIPPETS)

[Verse]

Mind sharp, cut the fog, razor's edge for the wit

Words drip molten, lava lips spit

Every bar a brass knuckle, leave the beat bruised

Chessboard tactics, my moves make kings lose



Concrete jungle, whispers from the bricks

Echo through the alley where the rats play tricks

Thoughts ricochet, pinball in my skull

Iron lungs exhale, make the cosmos dull



[Chorus]

Rapid fire, syllables ignite the wire

Tongue's a flamethrower, setting beats on fire

Boom-bap heartbeat, soul for hire

Rhythm sharp, never tire



[Verse 2]

Breath of a titan, lungs full of thunder

Crack the code, mind works like a plunder

Broken clocks tick-tock in the background

Time’s a thief, my rhymes keep the crown



Hood tales painted in graffiti hues

Jukebox static, playing heartbreak blues

Pen bleeds ink, maps of my brain

Verses hurricane, leave the world in pain



[Bridge]

Scratch the vinyl, time bends, a glitch

Life’s a tightrope, every bar a stitch

Fingers snap, rhythm slaps, spine chills

Boom-bap hymn, chasing the thrill

Rapid Fire Cypher

Dear Dilla, you shaped my perception for music in ways I can't describe in words. Music has always touched my heart, but your music moved my soul. You had a gift of making the most creative music using samples from the most unlikely sources. I'll never understand why someone like you, who could have given the world so much more, would be taken way so soon. Dilla, you "literally" changed lives and you probably saved lives too, because when you make music "straight from the heart," it's not just music anymore.

You will always be my favorite musician of all time....

Thank You Dilla, Rest In Peace

Some records are steeped in mythology. Frank N Dank’s 48 Hours is just such a recording. Why so few samples from Dilla? Where’s the “original version”? There are nearly more questions about this album than cuts on the album. But according to Frank Nitt, “contrary to popular belief there was never an ‘original version’ of 48 Hours. We started recording songs to sample driven beats of Dilla‘s and we got 80% of the album done and Dilla decided to change the beats to all the songs.” That’s right, it was Dilla’s creative vision that stripped out the samples. Dilla’s production on this record was certainly a departure, with keyboard beats and live instrumentation (including a contribution by ?uestlove) predominating over samples yet the output is solid Dilla start to finish. As Frank reminds us, “This is the exact version of 48 Hours that we (Frank N Dank & Dilla) turned in to MCA and the way Dilla intended it to be!”
