eLZhi Links With Khrysis + Gets Remixed by Phennel Koliander & The Process


If you want it, come and get this offering of potent lyricism as eLZhi uses the art of rhyme in his quest for self-definition. "I Am Him" is a self-proclamation of dopeness from an elite microphone controller paired with raw beats by Khrysis. Each bar is like peering into the galaxy as eLZhi dreams, creating a vivid depiction of his mind in rhyme. Although the project is short, Jericho Jackson make it worth your while as a dynamic Hip Hop duo.

Below, producers Phennel Koliander & The Process lend their sound to the voice of eLZhi with remixes of "It Ain't Hard To Tell" and "Come & Get It".

SlopFunkDust Presents: Beat Fanatic Vol. 1 - Smokers Choice


Beat Society alumni unite in a collaborative themed effort on production which is nothing less than head nodding. On the beats is SlopFunkDust, Khrysis, !llmind, Nicolay, J Bizness, Illastrate and DJ Rhettmatic for the instrumental series "Beat Fanatic Vol. 1 - Smokers Choice." The scope of this project revolves around the herbals of course, as each producers goes round for round on co-production with SlopFunk to bring bangers in between funny marijuana-themed skits.





From SlopFunkDust:
"Marijuana and hip-hop have been in cahoots since day one. For every Cypress Hill and Snoop Dogg, there are countless other music-making stoners promoting the ganja; they just happen to fly under the radar. A seriously funky and perpetually baked producer out of Florida, Slopfunkdust has been doing his thing for many years. Heavily involved with the Beat Fanatics and Beat Society, he's also concocted countless freaky instrumentals for a wide array of artists. On the aptly titled Smoker's Choice, he enlists the help of various talented co-producers, including KHRYSIS, Rhettmatic, Nicolay, and Illmind, to assist him with his bud-themed tracks. Every selection is titled after a designer strain of weed: "Sour Diesel," "AK-47," "Granddaddy Purp," etc., and they all live up to their names, with no shortage of tripped-out loops, mid-tempo drums, and bizarro samples. "Trainwreck" adds a head-nodding beat to the infamous 911 call from a Michigan cop who ate pot brownies and believed himself dead."
