Cerebral Cortex

The BBC narrative of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy roll out this mellow track produced by Lamada. SP1200 drums snap over a very melodic groove filled with 70's style electric bass and light piano. Anoir Akbar comes drop some very fluid verses that fit perfectly over the beat like hand in glove.

NOTABLE QUOTES:

"Your bullets melt in the palm of the master/ Listen for the calm before the disaster" - Anoir Akbar

"Lyrically I'm the epitome of emcee agility/ You ain't feeling me I kill emcees with the ability/ To pound you - surround you with equivalent of force/ Fields - use shields to throw you off course" - Anoir Akbar

Cerebral Flows

Dead Boy

In 1994 E.N.S. created this conceptual song that still remains one of my personal favorites. The laid back track, reggae tinged chorus let the lyrics about Karma stand out.

NOTABLE QUOTES:

"When I was taking in minor figures/ You thought that you were bigger/ Because I rode the bus while you drove a Vigor/ An Acura you were spectacular/ To the kids around the hood - up to no good" - E.N.S.

And he don't even know...

Protect Yaself

One of the few times Moosie Moe got behind the boards for this jam about AIDS Awareness. A very simple drum beat, bass with sparse horns and chimes let the emcees drop some knowledge about protecting your Jimbrowski.

NOTABLE QUOTES:

"Cause soon you'll be shaking and baking and making without protection/ Uh-oh, I think you made the wrong connection" - DJ Cream

"Like wine you take a couple of sips/ Perception is flipped/ But then you trip and dip and slip" - Big Vic

"The epidemic at hand will blow you away like a fan/ To a grain of sand" - Ralphie

"I have fun when I use protection/ You say it don't feel the same/ I know it don't feel the same/ But I feel ashamed and in pain if I refrain" - Claw

Get Ya Jimmy Hat

You Know Nothing About Being A Gangsta

E.N.S. crafted this head nodder and had the Claw from the L.E.S. and the boys from Baychester drop some lyrical bombs on it. This was back in 1995 when Universal Sounds opened its doors to work with various emcees throughout the Tri-State area.

NOTABLE QUOTES:

"Genghis Khan blows up like a bomb/ Shit gets tragic just like in Vietnam/ Ghetto rustlers/ Demons from under the street/ Black motherfuckers thats on the creep" - Genghis Khan

"I keep my head up/ Cause I gotta to survive/ No time for sipping on forties or puffing on la/ Got to stay on point cause sharpness can prolong life..." - E.N.S.

"Why do motherfuckers just be acting like they packing?/ Talking and talking but they can't walking the walk and..." - Claw

You Know Nothing Till You Listen

Da U.N.I. Saga Live

This version of the classic Universal Sounds standard was taken from Quad Jam 1997. The beat by Claw pounds away as the four emcees deliver a lyrical assault.

NOTABLE QUOTES:

"Deliverer of many styles/ Mic controller of many crowds/ Come soon to your town now" -E.N.S.

"Evolving in an age where many stand idle/ U-N-I transform with more power than a tidal/ Wave..." - Anoir

"... so feel the blast of this backdraft/ Perfect my craft/ I heard your shit and laughed" - Aya Da Storm

"Remembering the times and life of crimes/ Now I found ways to fight emcees with my rhymes" - Claw
