April 11, 2021 marks the 10 year anniversary of SHAOLIN JAZZ and the debut of our 1st mixtape project, The 37th Chamber. To commemorate this decade of dopeness we're adding a special installment to our tribute mixtape series called SENSEI Q; in honor of the legendary music mogul Quincy Jones. The 5-track EP features cinematic samples and breaks from the immensely underrated and accomplished catalog of film scores and movie soundtracks produced and composed by Jones. And in true SHAOLIN JAZZ fashion, each track is laced with the lyrical prowess of the iconic rap group Wu-Tang Clan. There’s also guest appearances by the late great Notorious B.I.G. and Wu-Tang affiliate Shabazz the Disciple.

The Study Of Crime (Q's Juke Jont Mix)

“Rapzone” is a straight-up slapper from the late Stēzo, who is joined on the mic by fellow rap legends Special Ed and Tash (of Tha Alkaholiks). The track is taken from Stēzo’s forthcoming posthumous album, ‘The Last Dance,’ which is produced entirely by his close friend and collaborator, Chris Lowe. And like the rest of the album, “Rapzone” is a firm reminder of Stēzo’s talents that he continued to work on and fine-tune over the years before his tragic passing in 2020.

“Rapzone” is available now through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms, with the full length LP dropping next Friday, August 27 via DSPs as well as on CD and either red or classic black vinyl through Blacklife Records. The 20 track LP features guest appearances by the likes of Biz Markie, Grand Puba, Masta Ace, Edo G, and many others☛ https://smarturl.it/StezosLastDance

Stēzo - Rapzone feat. Special Ed, Tash

Classic freestyles from Tim Westwood's Radio 1 Rapshow.  Originally recorded onto cassette tape and then converted to mp3s.  The sound may be a bit gritty but it adds a little rawness to the sound that should take you back to hose lost years before everything went digital!!

When Pragmatic Theory first started out we began accompanying our beat tapes with mc compilations soon after. There definitely was a passion for us to also work with just as massively talented emcees and their story telling. The growth in our audience and support has given an opportunity for Pragmatic Theory to expand on physical releases and although our releases have gained more time before another with our last mc comp being a bit over a year ago, we are working behind the scenes with concepts to share with you all. We have mad love for the community we are involved with. Stay with us, stay tuned , we have more in store to share. Please enjoy Life by artists we have love and appreciation for .... One Love.
