19 YEARS to the date of the release of the landmark album “The Score” by The Fugees (yep, we’re old), Teacher/Rapper/Hero Mega Ran pays tribute the best way he could, with a bleeped-out 8-bit remix of the tune, and enlisting friends like Professor Shyguy, Jermiside and AZ Femme Fatale M.P.R.E.S.S. for an awesome remake.
Since we dropped the new album, To: You, from Von Pea and The Other Guys last week, one the the fans’ favorite tracks has been the posse cut “Connect Four aka Lessondary >>>” featuring the entire Lessondary Crew: Jermiside, Che Grand, Aeon, Spec Boogie, ILWIL aka Ilyas and Donwill, and Elucid. For long time fans of the Lessondary, this track is a dream come true. What you may not know is that this is just a preview to a full Lessondary album that will be released later next year. Soak it in… hardcore lyrics over The Other Guys’ boom-bap beats.
To: You is now available online for digital download on iTunes, Bandcamp, and all other retailers. Compact Discs are available at UGHH, Fat Beats and anywhere else you can cop CDs.
Originally recorded during the Quiet As Kept sessions, Jermiside & Danny Diggs unleash this tribute to civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer in suppor of Womens History Month. “This track was originally recorded during the “Quiet As Kept” sessions but it didn’t quite fit with the theme of the album, so we put it in our pocket and saved it for later. I figured since it’s now Women’s History Month it was an appropriate time to let the people hear it. The song was inspired by a tweet from Brother Ali about civil/voting rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer, whom I had never heard of at the time. It prompted me to do some research and a song & voilà. HAPPY WOMENS HISTORY MONTH” – Jermside
