You're Cool

The outro to the "Time-Space Continuum" album before the bonus cuts.

Why Did U Go (Take 1)

A very personal song by Cise about his father back in 2001.

Enemies (OG) (8-Track Remastered) (Accapella)

Always refreshing to hear just the vocals when it comes to a joint that has been remixed numerous times.  Here is the original vocal track.

Ironic

Another Scripture from Yesterday by Kwote off his solo album.

Time & Again (2011 Analog Remix)

Mysterio always loved the original track and never thought he could top it but he did with some freshly new plucked samples from the dusty crates.  He also dug into the Universal Vaults and added some new vocal hooks to the track where MJB displays his lyrical abilities in only a way he could - filled with punchlines.

Claw & E.N.S. (Freestyle)

Back when they were One Cause Many Minds.

Divine Justice (Take 3)

A one verse conceptual song created by Anoir Akbar and Mysterio back in 2001.

Melquan & Moose - The Jam

Old school flavor from Moose and Melquan.  Who knew M.I. from Constant Deviants would actually not take himself as seriously as he did eventually?  I think this was the bridge from him being known as Baby Boy.  Anyhow... you'll be like, oh shit that's...

The Jam

Rare Artist Series: King T & Dr. Dre - Monay

I definitely have always been a fan of King Tee before he mixed up with the Alkaholiks.  This song right here is a testament to the skill he can deliver in carrying a tune alongside the one and only Dr. Dre. The production here is very tight.

Monay

Rare Artist Series: Black Sheep - Still in the Ghetto

I had this on Cassingle back in the day and the song definitely made its rounds in my mix tapes.  I always thought Dres was underrated or just simply overlooked.  In this song he shines.

Still In The Ghetto

Jazzy Jake (Final Mix)

A little posse cut from 2001 featuring the usual suspects.  Beat by Lamada.

Stop On By (Accappella) (8 Track Remastered)

The beat and lyrics would not sync up but here is the vocal version.

Stop On By (Accappella) (8 Track Remastered)

Rare Artist Series: Serengeti - Dennehy

The video for this song enhances it but even by itself the song remains a masterstroke of genius.  An ode to everything Chicago and things of yesteryear (Zaires, Fieros, Laser Disc, Rear Projection TV's, etc.).

Dennehy

Cise Byrd (Freestyle)

Cise freestyling with Climax and Kwote over the classic Claw track.

Rare Artist Series: Canibus - Summertime Heat

This song is just too funny.  I don't know if it was meant to be but it reminds me of the stuff Claw and Moosie Moe did years back.  Gangsta ass barbecues - doesn't get any better.

Summertime Heat

Reference to Self

A little solo jam slapped together by Cise Rhythm.

Torture (Sickle Mix) (8 Track Remastered)

The original version served up on a bloody platter.

Rare Arist Series: Run DMC - Beats To The Rhyme

Definitely one of the reasons I got into rap music.  These three put together incredible songs on their second, third and fourth albums.  They had even admitted that their first album was not as good as it could have been.  Anyhow - here is one of my favorite songs before they kind of became a shadow of their former selves.  Don't get me wrong.  They continued to rock live shows with the intensity that could not be matched.  I was fortunate enough to have caught one of their last shows before Jam Master Jay passed.

Rare Artist Series: Organized Konfusion - Let's Organize

Organized Konfusion was always consistent with their albums and without the duo connecting it would never be the same.  Well, for Prince Po that is.  I just never got into his solo work like I did with Monche and O.C.'s albums.  That being said I think that this song is one of the many stand outs off of their classic sophomore album.

Let's Organize

Rare Artist Series: Reflection Eternal - 2000 Seasons

When this 12" dropped Talib Kweli shot up to one of my favorite rappers on my top ten list.  Over the years he has been consistent but never really evolved.  Now, I am not saying he still doesn't have "it" every now and then but he hasn't held up in the top tier of my mind.  Anyhow - this song is classic and the beat provided by Hi-Tek is equally so.

2000 Seasons

Disease

MJB and J.O.B. crafted this bugged out track back in 1994.

Mind of A Man (8 Track Remastered)

The original track produced by E.N.S. and remastered from 8-Track by Mysterio.
