This Fall 2010 Pro~EF will be dropping the first episode of a 4 part series titled the "Compression Chamber" on Otnorot Recordings. The first episode is "Paper Trail" it's a 10 minute imaginative adventure score jam packed with twists, turns and razor blade record scratches. "It's a concept I've had in my head for quite some time and felt I was finally ready to execute. I've gotta say it's my absolute best work to date".
"So in continuance of "The World is Ours" Re-Release campaign that I've been working on for the Summer, I wanted to release the Instrumentals for this record as a free download. I realized 2 weeks ago that I've never even actually made an instrumental version of this record for myself. So I had the pleasure of digging through the original files for this album and getting nostalgic at all the recording sessions. There are even a couple added instruments here and there this time around, since I got to dig fully back into each songs format.
I'm doing all this as a way of preparing for a huge run of projects that I'm in the midst of wrapping up now (including the follow-up to this record). So I promise I'm not stuck in the past, Just catching the past up to the present so i can work on the future. Hope y'all enjoy it. Hope some emcees catch some writing inspiration. Hope some people catch some riding inspiration.Enjoy and Thanks again for all the support. The blogs, the comments, the shows, the fans (friends). Thank You."

It's easy to argue hip-hop is no longer the fierce art-form it used to be. Gritty kicks and punching snares have been replaced by squeaky clean drum kits. Synthesized keyboard melodies are the popular go-to while the chopped obscure sample is frowned upon. Who wants to pay for samples, right? And if that weren't enough, the clever, socially conscious emcee has traded in skill for...swagger. It's a sad day if you are a fan of the boom-bap but AOK alumni, 8thW1 and the 2 Hungry Bros have a solution that is sure to change your outlook with their collaborative effort No Room For Dessert.Fresh off of the release of their acclaimed compilation LP, Table Manners, the 2 Hungry Bros. production duo Deep and Ben Boogz.....continue reading
