You Know Nothing About Being A Gangsta (2011 Analog Remix)
Mysterio went back to the lab and remixed this classic song created back in 1995 by E.N.S., Claw and Genghis Khan. Quotes from four different films start out the intro over a laid back beat smothered with mellow samples pulled off of some dusty vinyl records.

Rare Artist Series: Hugh Masakela - Witch Doctor
Hugh Masakela created an incredible song right here. It is hard to make a song be long and yet continue to be interesting. I never got into the Grateful Dead or any other "jam bands" because of that fact. Long, rambling and boring grooves just don't do it for me. I guess I am a man of structure or at least some sense of it. Anyhow - here is a groove that you may dig if you feel the same.

Rare Artist Series: Lightheaded - Speak Your Peace
With all the hip hop that has come out since people had access to create home studios it is hard to keep up with. So back in 2006 I completely slept on this crew. Lightheaded is a "super group" who came together and brought some tight production coupled with complex rhyming in the name of God. I am not a religious person but nevertheless I can tell dope music when I hear it and this is dope.

Rare Artist Series: KRS-1 & Freddie Foxxx - Ruff Ruff
When KRS-1 and Freddie Foxxx released an album recently my hopes were high as I had just listened to this old track before I heard the news. While I gave the new album a whirl a few tracks hit me but just not as much as this one. Kris had stated he used headphones to rap his verses on this song giving it an old school feedback over a super funky beat. Anyhow - here is the classic cut.
