Inhale the unique musical atmosphere of Chicago production unit Tensei who apply their moody arrangements and talent for storytelling to breathe new life into the boom-bap. HotBox Sessions Volume 2 instrumentals were originally created in 2009-2010 and used by Chicago mc's for mixtapes and various projects.

"The HotBox was our old studio in Chicago in a tiny extra room that had no central air. It used to get very hot and literally we would be sweating while making music in the summer. These songs were created prior to incorporating jazz and soul musicians to our sound. Tribute, the final track is a bonus cut inspired by the late great dilla." - Tensei
