Tell You A Story

Like Gold

from the album Ken Can Cook - Decon/Project Blowed - 2008

  I originally made this beat back in 1997-98 when I was first experimenting with making more hiphop sounding beats instead of just drum-n-bass.  It was originally supposed to be a Freestyle Fellowship posse cut on the Megabite album that I was doing with PEACE at the time.  When that never materialized it got shelved for about 8 years until I was working on Ken Can Cook.   At the time Myka was vegetarian so I had him come over for some eggplant and potato curry.  I made these bomb stuffed mushrooms too.  Myka got super into it asking me for ingredient lists and written recipes while he was writing his verses.  Many blunts later we recorded this song that very same night.  If I remember correctly he came back a few day later and re-layed the second verse and added a few adlibs, but almost the whole song was conceived, written, and recorded that first night.  Although it took about 10 years from the time I made this beat to the time it actually came out, I think the wait was well worth it!

Riddlore? - A true OG in the underground.
This innovative emcee, DJ, and producer began his odyssey in hip-hop in 1983. Having been heavy into street life early in his journey, his style of music has always been influenced by the struggles of his people. Because he's so in tune with what really goes on in the streets, he uses his music to try to elevate the awareness of those that hear it. Not simply content to be another hood reporter, he uses the power in his words to challenge the listener to see things from different angles. 
Riddlore? is an LA underground renaissance man, having mastered lyricism, production, DJ-ing and the unspoken art of gang-banging. Fortunately, he gave up the latter in 84 to put all of his incredible energy into the music, and many years later hes still at the cutting edge of the west coast sound. His track record speaks for itself, having worked with such luminaries as Aceyalone (All Balls Dont Bounce, Love and Hate), The Visionaries (Sophomore Jinx), Busdriver (Memoirs of the Elephant Man), The Good Brothers, Awol One, and Mikah 9.
