Keepers of the Funk

Jussumen that's on the mic!

Definition- supervillain: a killer who love children; one who is well skilled in destruction, as well as buildin'...
It's a celebration of lyrics, beats, creativity and ingenuity as Ghost, illy and J. Millz sift through the catalog of MF Doom; one of the best emcees of the era and a certified top favorite amongst the crew!

The crew is joined by Illcat - friend of Ghost and fellow Abyss Fam alum - to talk about his origins in the culture, his eventual foray into rhyming, lyricism and the writing process, and memories of the Abyss "netcee" collective.  All of this, of course leads into a larger discussion of his favorite artists, albums and overall appreciation of hip-hop, running the gamut from Run-DMC and Public Enemy to Bone Thugs and Eminem.   

From Sylk Smoov and Domino to St. Lunatics and Bits N Pieces, illy and Ghost chronicle hip-hop music, culture and nightlife in their hometown of St. Louis, from their own firsthand experiences and recollections of the scene.   (Editor's Note:  being that we've based this discussion on memories rather than research, mistakes are bound to happen and are unintentional.  We politely encourage anyone to correct or refute anything we've said.  -illy).  With far too much material to contain in one episode, future installments are in the pipeline.  Stay tuned!
