“Coming from one that
diligently supports soulful, spiritual music from Los Angeles, I have
to say that this is one of the brightest releases of two rising hip-hop
producer talents. Highly recommended!”
Carlos Nino (Spaceways KPFK 90.7FM, Ammoncontact, Build An Ark,
Hu-Vibrational, Dublab.com...)
"Mysterious six track EP
of great soulful beats in a Madlib / JayDee / Waajeed style - very
limited so be quick! Two new producers from the LA underground
come correct with these hot
white labels.
Ras G was a DJ at Project Blowed (home to AceyAlone
and Freestyle Fellowship, who released a good LP ealier this year) for
5 years, and now concentrates on DJing for Sol Uprising and Scienz of
Life. He also dropped a beat for Dwight Tribes (of Build An Ark
fame) solo set.
Black Monk also has an interesting past - making
hip hop since 1992, not only has he worked on many Death Row releases,
but also on Disney soundtracks and Foo Fighters material! Now
studying jazz improvisation, you can hear jazz rubbing against tough
beats that could only be the product of this eclectic mind, especially
on the awesome 'Hummin In The Sun'.
Limited to 300 copies, these 12"s
are hand numbered and flying out of the shop."

"Preponderant talent
is not felt in strike collection of the 珠 ball due to the ド * class
new member BLACK MONK which is not obtained! The CARLOS NINO of
the AMMONCANTACT extols "one of the surprise of 2004 year release"
and, the super person BLACK MONK and the RAS G where the Nishiumi bank
underground * scene is not known. The MADLIB fresh * sound is
full
load with the URBS&CUTEX! The Seoul full which closely
resembles the URB&CUTEX to the chorus, the ブレイクビーツ which is
united
firmly * the base line of the A-1 and the Detroit * テイスト the A-
side
due to the BLACK MONK which recorded the parenthesis good
A-3. While
the クラッピング the スネア feeling which texture well is fixed IMPEACH
THE
PRESIDENT like it is good with beat, the スピリチュアル the B-1 where the rose
keeps flowing smoothly, feeling making the faint rose develop well,
the B side due to the RAS G which recorded the B-2 which inserts the
introduction part of MUSIQ " JUST FRIENDS " effectively, together
super high * quality the grain tune matching! In the future
absoluteness attention!"
