This is one of my favorite remix discoveries from my early days of browsing the net for music. I discovered the production of Bapt while browsing the Soul Strut forum sometime in the early 2000's. His remix of "Stomp That" popped into my head randomly today and I realize I never blogged it before, so here it is. 

I also rediscovered the instrumentals for Oh No's "The Disrupt", another example of innovative early 2G Hip Hop that I feel has aged well. Enjoy the stream below and check out the instrumental section of my eBay storefront here if you are interested in a copy of the 2XLP vinyl. As an eBay Partner, I may be compensated if you make a purchase.

"Originally released in June 2009,The Ecstatic stands as a defining artistic statement from Mos Def (now known as yasiin bey) — a richly textured return to form that reaffirmed his status as one of hip-hop's most adventurous and intellectually engaged voices. Arriving a decade after his celebrated debutBlack on Both Sides, the album was widely regarded as his strongest work in years, earning near-universal praise for its lyrical breadth, eclectic production, and thematic ambition.

Musically,The Ecstatic weaves a global sonic tapestry shaped by an array of forward-thinking producers including Madlib, J Dilla, Oh No, Preservation, Mr. Flash, Chad Hugo (of The Neptunes), and Georgia Anne Muldrow. The resulting soundscape is both rooted in hip-hop tradition and unbound by genre, integrating elements of jazz, soul, West-Asian and North-African inflection, and experimental sample work. Tracks like "Supermagic" and "Twilite Speedball" establish a vibrant, restless energy that mirrors the album's expansive creative scope." - Rhymesayers Entertainnent

This California duo demonstrate the true value of Hip Hop lies not in monetary gain but in the currency of beats and rhymes as TriState hunger and aggression on the mic meets the rawness of Oh No's sound on the boards.
