J57 Ft. Skyzoo “Lights Out” (Brown Bag Season Begins!)

BHF '09 Artists Brown Bag All Stars have been working hard. Here is what they've been up to.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On behalf of my group, The Brown Bag AllStars, I would like to introduce you to "Brown Bag Season" which kicked off yesterday, May 18th!

Brown Bag Season is a marketing campaign we developed and have steadily been working on since back in November; During Brown Bag Season we will be leaking 2 - 4 brand new Brown Bag songs and/or video clips (Brown Bag in studio with artists, Fat Beats ciphers with us and other artists, etc) each week starting today and continuing all the way into September.

We began recording these new tracks back in November so that we wouldn't compromise any quality in the slightest...and now we're ready to officially unleash Brown Bag Season! Hope you enjoy the madness!

Here's a link to the first track:

Anyone remember them? "Fire In Which You Burn", "Weight" That is for real underground old schoolers right there. After the Funcrusher EP they started to lose me, I have to be honest. The El P stuff I never got into. A little too dissonant for my taste. I guess I like 4/4 time a bit too much.

(INTERN ALUM ALERT, Wes says 'what up family') Jahmar D., Shout out to everybody attending the Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam! Madkap was classic Golden Era, Native Tongues derivative. I remember getting this record back when I was on the radio at UVa (shout out to WTJU and The Boom Bip Journey). First off they had the ill mutlicolor logo (which an extensive Google search could not find). And what seems like a gimmick now but was quite provacative back in '93 was the trumpeter as part of the group. I still think that was a good idea. They were adding live instrumentation before The Roots and whatever pseudo elitist/mash up clone that followed. Who would have known Steve Rifkind would go from happy go lucky backpacker to Queensbridge and Staten Island thuggery. What a journey, But that is another story which we tell...
