about

The 90's are considered by most to be "The Golden Years" of hip-hop because of the purist attitudes and intense authentic creativity it spawned in artists of that era. This track is a dedication to the sound of that era. Everyone remembers the deep baselines, sparse horns and boomin’ drums.. This track embodies… exactly that!!

lyrics

Verse One / Blast, just like NASA but fuelled with the Jazz / here to harass, come to shatter like glass / one time for your mind / touch it to the top rewind / now it’s time to drop B-line / step to the track like what’s up with that? / I be coming with it, bring the boom to the bap, bring it back / duffle coat, knapsack, baseball cap / sitting on a stoop, dudes chilling in the back / this is old school rap / “STOP!” nah don’t do that! / got a reputation for being a cool cat / CD’s records and tapes we move that true that / don’t be trying to please all these other MC’s / Trojan attack, kidnap then we seize / minorities bless beats like these / it’s the realness like back in the nineties / Verse Two / Now I come with this and you come with that / I bump the rhyme so that you bump the track / no guarantee we leave your speakers in tact, get smacked / take the beat out bring it back / impact, Blackcurrent Jazz V2 / back from the dead like the new T2 / hip-hop resurrection and we do tip top beat selection so we rule / cos times is tough and it’s only getting tougher / so I make my music for my peoples who suffer / every single time there’s
something new to discover / so the B-Boys, roughnecks, hoodlums love us / stay true to my roots, my musical youth / original suede Tim boots all the way up to the plain white tees / hip-hop represent from the nineties / Verse Three / Back to the matters at hand, man / got the blueprint to expand plans / wreck the party and make grand’s, damn! / Soldier salute right hand, command respect / one, two test mic check / rappers get brave but they just might step into a zone where they test my rep / illegal aliens don’t bless my set / make that mistake break out in a sweat / and hope that nobody possess the cassette / cos how it went down is best to forget / straight to the streets don’t rest for a sec / hip-hop beats we the best of the best / expecting critiques, baby be my guest / but what they say I already know / I been up in this game since the nine zeros /
