Cross Em' Over'

Feelin' Good Today

Out now everywhere: fsx.lnk.to/body-slam

Beyond a long time coming, one of our oldest friends in music since our earliest blog days – Sxlxmxn now officially breaks bread with us as a label for his first solo outing.

Those who have paying attention should already know of him by now, if not from theHOMETEAM single he produced for us a while back (https://soundcloud.com/freshselects/thehometeam-crash-dummies), then for his extensive work over the years with damn near everyone in the Portland rap scene (Milc, T.$poon, Illmac, Donte Thomas, Bocha, Cassow, Epp... you name 'em, he's got something with him), or for some of the high-profile collabs he's produced with Mick Jenkins, Westside Boogie, Guilty Simpson, Iamsu!, Jason Martin, and Ruck of Heltah Skeltah.

If not – we got you.

On this first single for Fresh Selects (of many more still to come), the perpetually-prolific Portland producer brings together two of the Midwest's best to the Pacific NW, with dueling verses from Boldy James (Detroit) & Vic Spencer (Chicago) – with Seattle's own Na'ki bridging it all together on the hook.

"Big Screen Body Slam"

Verses by Boldy James & Vic Spencer
Chorus by Na'ki

Produced by Sxlxmxn
Arranged by Sxlxmxn & Kenny From Fresh Selects

Hey my name is Young Exclusive AKA Yochannan it's been a long way with trails and tribulations growing from young exclusive and amateur Mc coming out of the gutter of Houston literally got in some legal trouble and had to do a 2 year sentence in Texas State. 2 years added up and made me want to do something to prove to myself and God. Watching mc's in prison I started to explore with my own rhymes in my head.

I got out in May 2015, but I had come out stronger smarter wiser and more disciplined and still kept honing my craft, writing raps every day looking up to Jay=Z I came across an article that would form me into the 1 level 1 tier rapper I became.

Young Exclusive from 2015-2017 i started battling against depression homelessness and displacement not giving up until I had to change to Yochanan in 2024

Lukas “The Black Buddhist” wrote his first rap in elementary school and learned how to beatbox in the 6th grade. Lukas tried his hand at piano, electric and acoustic guitar, drums, and creating projects with GarageBand and Logic Pro. Music and hiphop has always been an important part of Lukas’ story from a young age. 

In middle and high school, The Black Buddhist wrote and recorded rhymes to memorize history and other school subjects. He also made parody songs making fun of the rap industry in the late 2000s and early 2010s. By the end of high school, The Black Buddhist had a drawer full of rhyme books and a handful of beats. 

The Black Buddhist also put out several mixtapes at this time and during his time at DePaul University in Chicago. These initial mixtapes are what sparked Lukas’ interest in pursuing a career in hip hop music. 

During his time in Chicago, Lukas taught music production and rap to a group of elementary school students on the Southside. The final project was a single and a performance for the parents. The ability to help others find joy through creating music is something that has stuck with him forever. 

After graduating from college with a degree in International Studies and a minor in Spanish, Lukas decided to travel the world in order to teach English abroad. The Black Buddhist made another mixtape in Peru, rapped in ciphers with students in Chile, and spent two years making beats almost every day while teaching in Japan. 

After living in Japan, The Black Buddhist returned to his hometown of Seattle. In 2021, The Black Buddhist put his music on Spotify for the first time. After dropping SeattleLife and an assortment of singles, the Black Buddhist closed out 2023 by dropping the lyrical masterpiece known as "The Zen Project," and the laidback, self-produced project, “Coffee & Kush.”
