HAFEESE, FT (STREET SMARTZ) & KAI:BEE @ "THE BASEMENT" on WUSB


HAFEESE, FT (STREET SMARTZ) & KAI BEE @ "THE BASEMENT"

This is another session I found with Hafeese and FT. This time they brought up Kai:Bee, who some of you might remember from the joint "The Way It Iz" that he did with Guru and Lil' Dap (on the "Rhyme and Reason" Soundtrack). Anyway, I think this was done sometime after FT and Hafeese appeared on the internet show we were doing. These dudes always brought it on the mic and were just cool peoples; who we always enjoyed being on the shows and mix-tapes.  I am trying to find and post stuff every couple days going forward. It is tedious though, because I have no idea what, or if anything is on each individual cassette.  I haven't really tried to promote this (or even really how to yet), so word of mouth is where it is at right now. So thank you to Ryan Proctor (Old To The New), Kool Scooby G (Mega Fresh Posts), Oxygen (Soundsci and WUSB alum), my dude The Asmatik, and anyone else that I am forgetting that spread the word!

J-LIVE AND SKAM2? @ "THE BASEMENT" on WUSB STONY BROOK

J-Live and Skam2? @ "The Basement" WUSB Stony Brook

Happy New Year Hip-Hop dudes, I am finally trying to continue my mission to transfer highlights from the various radio shows and mix-tapes we did back in the day....Hopefully, I can be a lot more consistent from now on (and that would be cool).  Anyway, this was one I was really searching for; the first time J-Live came through and actually, the second time Skam2? came up.  This I believe, was around the time of J-Live's "Can I Get It?" single, and these two went back and forth; freestyling over current beats and classic instrumentals, cut up by DJ Cross Phada.  Skam2? had come up about a month or two earlier with The Jigmastas, so we had only recently met him.  If I remember correctly, my partner HB had picked up J-Live and Georges Sulmers from Raw Shack Records in Brooklyn to drive them to Stony Brook, and randomly bumped into Skam2? while he was skateboarding on Atlantic Avenue. He jumped in the car too and rolled to Long Island with them.  That was the type of impromptu stuff that made the show....More uploads to come!
