Hip-Hop legend Edo.G teams up with his apprentices G. Dot & Born, Boston natives, to shine light on their story and style while also providing their own sound.  All production is handled by Confidence, who's claim to fame includes "Rashad and Confidence" and "Purpose and Confidence" on Ill Adrenaline Records and he produced seven tracks on Neek the Exotic’s “Hustle Don’t Stop” LP from 2012.  

The LP is fourteen tracks deep with Gdot & Born handling about half the duties on the mic, with the remaining tracks being handled by Edo.G, providing listeners with a nice diversity; while Confidence keeps a steady stream of that authentic Hip-Hop he is known for throughout.
     
Confidence, a student of the game dating back to the 90’s, first got a taste of music production in the mid 90′s while learning to DJ with his brother Technic.  His break didn't come until 2001 when he copped an MPC 2000xl which he still uses to this day to compose masterpieces.   

G. Dot & Born relay the struggle of survival in the streets with hard-hitting raw lyrics, traditional gritty street beats and a confident delivery that takes Hip-Hop back to its essence. G. Dot and Born stay true to the city of Boston that raised them and 90’s Hip Hop influences like J. Dilla, Sean P., Big Pun, Edo G., Kool G. Rap, AZ and Nas by embodying a humble braggadocio that only real life experiences teach you. 

Today, the group offers up a tribute song, “Living Legend,” dedicated to the one and only Pete Rock, featuring Pete’s former INI cohorts Grap Luva (Pete’s brother), Rob-O & EDO. G.

Confidence Presents G. Dot & Born Featuring EDO. G will be released on 1-28-14 and you can pre-order it here: http://redlinemusicdistribution.bigcartel.com/product/confidence-presents-gdot-born-featuring-edo-g

Professor P & DJ Akilles ft. Rah Digga "For The City"

Edo G. - Boston • Remix (prod. by sicktunes)

This track is from Boom Bap Project's debut album on Rhymesayers, "Reprogram", which released ten years ago yesterday, on June 21st 2005. In honor of the album's tenth anniversary, we're offering both CD and Digital versions for only $4.99, for a limited time! PLUS, when you buy Reprogram, you will also get Boom Bap Project's "Welcome To Seattle" Mixtape forFREE! Also available, a FREE D/L of "The Shakedown", a full album that features the same production team as "Reprogram" and a nice array of guests, that Boom Bap Project put together for their supporting tour for the album. Get yours NOW:  http://bit.ly/BoomBapProject 
 
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.

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. Available on CD/2LP/cassette/digital.

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.

Beneficence feat. Inspectah Deck (of Wu-Tang Clan) & DJ Rob Swift "Digital Warfare"

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!
