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.

Pragmatic Theory Presents : Life (FREE ALBUM)

part 3 .. living in the graveyard of what went wrong with hiphop

Scienze - Gondwana Jungle. Feat. Quelle Chris (prod. ShunGu)

Taken from: Jigmastas - Grassroots: The Prologue (Deluxe Edition)
Pre-order via iTunes: geni.us/GrassrootsPrologueDel
More than during any period of its history previous or since, NYC hip-hop in the ’90s fixated on streets-centric authenticity. Being “real” – musically, ethically, biographically – was paramount. From their first release, however, Brooklyn’s Jigmastas proudly defined themselves by nobody’s measure of validity but their own. While others chased the so-called real, DJ Spinna and Kriminul claimed “Beyond Real,” the title of their 1996 independent single on the label of the same name, a debut gem that established their M.O. as purveyors of sonic sophistication and everyman truths.
