Full album, "Standing on Giant Shoulders," due up in April.
Well qualified to represent the LBC, next-up edition.
Got some of that old-school Warren G vibe about it.

ever since this legendary oakland mc passed earlier this week, this has been on constant repeat. “light sleeper” alone could play on and on for the rest of my life and i wouldn’t be mad. elevated flow and creative cadences abound as the saucee nomad elevates beyond.
if you want more, go on youtube and watch him single handedly take on the entire hieroglyphics crew in one of the best battles hip-hop’s ever seen.

I don't know why Sonny Cheeba and Geechi Suede don't get more love when the subject of "golden age hip hop" comes up.
Dudes were from the heart of it all, the Boogie Down (in fact their producer Ski Beatz lived in the same building -- 1520 Sedgwick -- that Kool Herc had once lived in back in the day).
They invented their own lingo -- luchini = loot, jiggy vines = 70s style threads they were pioneering around the same time Digable and the Beasties were dressing that way, sugar dimes = hotties, Amaeret-tah = their beverage of choice, Hollywood = high life, etc.
They were obsessed with the 70s films Uptown Saturday Night and Cooley High, this pretty much formed the basis of their entire steez. The link here is to "Luchini" which is their anthem/best known track.
I've got a lot of time for this album three decades down the line. Dig the Marvin Gaye album cover pastiche too.

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
