Speaking of Pharcyde, I got a hold of this new? Fatlip track called "What's
up Fatlip?" ...Incredible. I would listen to hip-hop if it was more like
this...This sound is reminiscent of K-otix "Falling Behind Part 0"...if any
of you have that song hold onto it for life...that shit makes me wanna cry
it's so beautiful.

Speaking of Helskinki, why don't you give a shout out to Ceebrolistics?!
You can pick up their shit on http://www.truehiphop.com/atak. Those are my
boys! Also in Helsinki, check for Dharma...I think his group is called The
Original Breaks, but I'm not sure...some dope shit though. Email me if you
want his info.
