Hip-Hop I grew up with you and loved you but feel out of it when things got to hardcore and MONEY ravaged and changed you for what you really were meant to be.... many forgot who you really are, the culture, the struggle, the entertainment but most of all, the REAL skill it took to tell us stories, messages regardless if it was real or fake.
Your so taken lightly that it has divided many and some have even claimed your death because you've gone un-noticed unless 1 REALLY DIGS DEEP TO FIND YOU... 

But i'm gonna try to tell the world you exist.. one volume at a time, because I miss you so much.

Nas Tribute-Recorded Live On TWITCH-September 13 2024

I wrote and composed this track from the perspective of a singer whose girlfriend is playing games so he decides to let her know that games can be played by both and she shouldn't mistake his kindness for devotion or love because she's not the star she thinks she is. It is my little homage to those Philly soul tracks of the 80s.

Mistake My Kindness

BrownEyeBoy1.m4a

Music suffered a huge loss late last night/early this morning... We lost Phife Dawg of ATCQ & Native Tongues to health issues. Just like everyone else, I've been listening to Tribe all day and stumbled across these Native Tongues mixes I did for my people over at So Much Soul Clothing a few years back and figured I'd upload them. There's 2 parts to this mix, make sure you check them both out.

The Native Tongues Mix (Part I)

1996 - Kid Capri - Mixmaster Weekend, NY Hot 97
