The SP 1200 Project: Sounds & Frequencies in Technicolor

Man this album is insane I remember finding it when I was heavy into Wu-Tang and couldn't believe this album came out before Enter The Wu-Tang. Imo it's still pretty underrated, one of the best hardcore Hip Hop albums ever made imo, it's just a proper fun listen and the beats hit crazy to this day. Man like the first track 'Powaful Impak' fully is one of the best intros ive ever heard, hits you straight away no games at all. The track titles are jokes too, some of the weirdest spellings ive seen. This album is one that sounds crazy good on tape too, especially with the mega bass on the walkman. This then put me onto the whole Boot Camp Click and tbh the same goes for all their albums, especially Dah Shinin and Nocturnal, they defo build on what Black Moon started here.

"These Things Take Time" is the new collaborative effort by Brooklyn-born and now Oakland-based rapper Fresh Daily and producer Parental from Paris, France.

Both artists share the same love and passion for Hip-Hop, which evidently vibes on all 12 tracks of the album.

Fresh Daily's razor-sharp lyricism connects with Parental's jazz-infected productions, same goes for the feature guests like Awon, John Robinson and ScienZe to name a few.

Limited edition of 300 copies on black vinyl including all instrumentals.

This tracks grown on me loads throughout the years, one of the hardest off Enta Da Stage imo. Smif-N-Wessun are dope too, their debut album is crazy, Wontime always stands out to me but there's loads more gems on that one too. Buckshots verse on this track is insane too, opening line is such a classic been sampled sooo many times.

Let me know if you recognise this sample I think it's quite a bait one. 

Peace!!

Show & AG got to be one of the most underrated Hip Hop duos of all time. Both their albums are insane classics, and wayyy ahead of their time too. Can't believe Runaway Slave is from 1992. Have you heard their albums? I relistened to both Runaway Slave and Goodfellas the other week, enjoyed both just as much, but honestly may have even enjoyed Runaway Slave a bit more which I didnt expect at all. Something about Showbiz beats are just insane to me, he gets the rugged sound on a different level, similar to Diamond D as well. Also Dres from Black Sheep really kills it on this track, flow is ridiculous, and again in 1992 this must have been mindblowing for real.

I was really thinking about 'Check It Out' off Goodfellas when I made this beat, that track is just stupiddd and then once I made this beat I instantly heard this verse from Bounce Ta This over it.
