A collaboration of tunes that were created but not completed, in-studio bloopers & 7" dub plates, that were made while enjoying the Ites, all copied from cassettes dating from 1997-1999!
Enjoy the niceness of:
1. Summertime Dub: short dub version of the Summertime joint from Blu Magazine's 7th Issue, with live instrumentation by Survival Soundz RootzBOP Ensemble, put together by producer, Abja Kamau.
2. Summertime: this version was produced by King Crown International of Reggae Riddims, WKCR 89.9fm, every Saturday mornin from 6am - 10am.
3. 3Ls n sumn...: a rough draft, produced by DJ Yamin (www.myspace.com/yamin, fka DJ Skinny B) with poetry by my son, Koyami, at the age of 7. The first verse is the actual 3Ls joint, but the second verse was supposed 2 B 4 a soundtrack for a documentary called, "This Is What Democracy Looks Like". Back then I wanted everyone to vote, becuz I believed in the system of elections... until ya man got in office. Idealistic Yejide is gone...Obama renewed my faith!
4. I'll Come Runnin...: originally by Alyson Williams, this tune used 2 b me n my high school sweethearts song. Been outta Brooklyn Tech 4 years but I always liked the song. This is a rough draft in the studio with a slight echo, (n too many bidis), produced by Abja Kamau.
5. Wasting Time: a joint that was recorded in East New York with Kuumba Productions. Chillin in a studio smokin mad ism n bidis. Just doin back up but they had my back. These brothers were so cool: BlackSparxx, Rich Porter & Reks! I always run into Ant like every 6 months but we lose touch til we C each other again. So, if yall C this U betta holla! U R officially on blast!
6. A Quickie: B4 I left DC, I was chillin with my man, DJ Dirty Ice/Mr. Hu & we wrote a verse real quick 2 this beat he produced. We called it, "It's Your Life". Met his man, Raheem DeVaughn, that day! Time flies but natural talent is forever! Y'all C what they doin!...
7. Melody Life: A King Crown International dub plate he had in regular rotation @ the Rebar when Three the Hard Way used 2 kick ass! Ghetto Roots' Twin Sound, (www.myspace.com/ghettoroots), DJ Jah Beanz with I.O.T.A. Sound & King Crown DJ Vincent Hans.
8. Wuss the Words (ha! ha!): Bent in the studio with Abja, tryna refix an old goodie, but I couldnt remember the words...
9. Just Call My Name: the Allyson Williams joint with a Reggae twist, produced by King Crown International & unfinished.
10. First Draft: Herbs & bidis in the livingroom in East New York on Pennsylvania Ave, me n Abja, knocked this out real quick. Didnt know what 2 do for a chorus n just made it up on the spot...
Vintage Yejide in all her glory n...NOT! lol :)
