Actually this is a track that has been waiting quite a long time to be
released. It's meant for a compilation coming called "Next Level" which is
going to be released on a uncertain label but Japanese only (not File
though). What basically has been taking the project so long is the fact
that this was one of the first tracks to be consigned for the project.
There are more coming up on the compilation by Ian O'Brien, Joe Claussell,
Anthony Nicholson, Frankie Valentine and more!

Oh man! I do like this album, sort of got my faith back into underground
hip hop. Hip hop is such a bad game right now because truly 95% of it is
utter trash to me! I do like flow but the beats are my first love but the
Jigmastas unite this so well. "Reality Check" and "CSS" are some ill
joints!! The "Outro" is heated triplets biz too! Totally made my mind
flash "Midnight Marauders". Same with that Lone Catalysts album through
BUKA/Groove Attack, nice stuff on there! I was actually looking back at
Nas' career and was thinking, what happened? "Illmatic" was such a classic
but after that, the bombs blew. Same with some other favourites like Black
Moon and more importantly Da Beatminerz. Even the Pharcyde to some degree.
I though L.A. Jay was such a dope producer but I ever only heard like four
things by the guy but they were all dope! Especially that remix to "Passin'
Me By" and "Ego Trippin' (Part Two)"! OOooowww! Even "Ego Trippin' (Part
Three)" as itself was good too! That brings another question? What
happened to De La Slow? Man their latest was a nugget!
