Long time Atlanta underground hip hop vet Stan “Steam” Smith once again join forces with Daz-I-Kue, formerly of pioneering Bugz In The Attic, for another sure fire collection of jams. What started out as as a creative outlet while under lockdown, inevitably developed into story telling of the highest order, which complimented the irresistible head nodding production. Also includes a collaboration with ATL’s musical stalwart and band leader of afrobeat/funk ensemble Common Ground Collective, Mausiki Scales, where Daz rejigs Mausiki’s original work to fine effect.
So enjoy the 1st of many chapters in this hip hop saga, there will be definitely more to come.
