A Verified Third

A very long time ago, when Soundclick wasn’t tampering with my music, I had a remix of this Nujabes/Minmi joint.  Actually, the funny part is this is one of those remixes that survived the copyright crawl, but I don’t have the whole joint anymore.

However, I recently went through my external drive to re-discover the original cut (the one that’s on “Impression”).  As old as it is, I still remember the verse to some extent and I truly believe that this joint deserves a proper revamp.  I’m just not sure if I’m going to put it on the Tube, the Cloud, or just flat-out put here.

Loaded Lux f/ Redman & Method Man - “Rite” (Remix)

Look at this, king.

To most, this isn’t new.  I performed this verse at “The Night of the Gemini” and that’s the last time that anyone has heard it.  However, after stumbling upon it in my external drive, I figured that it should get cleaned up and put on the Tube.

Originally, this was going to be a cut with just myself and Verified Third, Jabez.  He picked a beat from The Quiett, producer from South Korea, and I went to work.  He overlooked it after our next few gems, but then I decided that the remaining third, L’amour, should jump on this as well.  We expected Jabez to come through on the third verse and send it home.  Unfortunately, that’s around the time that things went sour for him.

This is obviously not cutting room material, but consider this another incentive to get you hype for “The Two-Thirds EP.”

More L.A./NC hip-hop connections for the world.

I may be wrong, but word has it that at some award ceremony yesterday, this dude tried to crowd surf, damned-near cleared the whole crowd, and gave this girl in the back the Hulk Hogan leg drop.

Is this possible??
Is it true??
If the girl is reading this…
WAS IT YOU???

It’s funny how Hip-Hop can intertwine people.  I hear Version One for the first time three years ago, who would then become one of ten winners of the 2010 Hip-Hop Census Contest.  After the second encounter in the recent No Sucka MCs Contest, we linked up for a quick banger supplied by King I Divine.  The chances of this joint being on “Late Blossom 2” is extremely high.

From Friday afternoon to Saturday morning, excluding a break to get some Korean eats, I finally finished the cover art for “The Two-thirds EP.”  Somehow this feels like my best work out of the five previous covers, especially for someone that is a few notches above Photoshop novice.  The only people that have seen it so far have been the other Verified thirds: L’amour and Jabez.  Both were amazed, but Jabez more-so because he’s just excited to hear us rip it in his absence.

What occurred with this cover art will make me want to re-do the art for “Late Blossom 2” so that it looks less sloppy.  The cover for “The Legend of Wei Shen” will remain the same as it pretty much fits the vibe of the project altogether.

No one else will see this until the point in time that the joint drops.  When?  Well, Massiah is putting final touches on the mixes so as soon as I receive them, and convert them, it will be drop possibly on a Friday.
