UNCOVERED: The Making of Raekwon The Chef’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… Album Cover (1995) with Photographer Daniel Hastings. (via @egotripland)
Truly classic albums of any genre stand the test of time. But there’s an extra special reverence with which hip-hop fans regard Raekwon the Chef‘s 1995 solo debut, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… Musically and conceptually groundbreaking, OB4CL‘s uncompromising hustler’s sensibility was famously symbolized by a simple packaging detail: its cassette and CD’s purple tinted shell, which announced a product from the streets both elite in class yet undiluted in its aesthetic rawness.
Equally iconic, however, is the album’s striking Daniel Hastings-photographed cover image – a portrait of Raekwon and exuberant partner-in-rhyme Ghostface Killah halo-ed by a haze of blunt smoke set against a fire-engine red curtain adorned with the Wu emblem. Having already worked with the Clan on Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers, Hastings enjoyed a unique perspective on its interpersonal dynamics by the time of OB4CL. With much recent talk and reminiscing about “The Purple Tape” we caught up with him about his experiences shooting Rae and Ghost for this most classic of classic albums. [Read More…]

Here is an amazing beat off Deltron 3030’s self-titled LP.
“I ain’t working for the man, so as long as I got a microphone in my hand Imma have me; some money in my pocket, cloths on my back, food on the table, gas in the tank, Tims on our feet, a nice stash in the bank”
Underground Los Angeles artist One Be Lo truly showcases his thoughts and outlook about the music industry in this song. Discussing the contradictions between producing music for a paycheque or for the love of it. Working over a heavy sample-based rhythmic and a smooth but consistent flow, the artist is successful in proving his point with much clarity and efficiency.
The song is from off his first independent release named Project F.E.T.U.S. after his departure from the rap group Binary Star back in 2002. The project was a compilation of discarded songs who were not chosen for his debut album L.I.F.E. The album’s gritty sound is due to a number of reasons including the rugged production and the fact that the record was intentionally not mixed or mastered.
Producer: Decompoze
Year: 2003
Album: Project F.E.T.U.S
Label: Subterraneous Records
Another hip-hop band with a jazzy feel, Justice System uses live musicians to create the backing for their raps, including tributes to Afrika Bambaataa and Santana. Unfortunately, the album is a bit overproduced; unlike the group’s frenetic live shows, Rooftop Soundcheck lacks the excitement and raw intensity that kindles great jazz-rap.

“Resided with my father frequently talked with my mother. Reactions crazy, revenge thoughts. Maybe asking what am I doin here. Someone come save me. Cause I feel I got no purpose”
Here is another classic beat from the golden era of Hip-Hop.
The 1996 heart felt beat produced by the famous duo “Da Beatminerz” depicts through its intricate lyrics a youth acknowledging the changes acuring around them. Reminiscing about their pasts, where they’ve been but also looking forward to a better future.
It is a good & honest record.
