UNSEEN LEGION RADIO - Hosted by the InaSoulbian Crew airs 9pm-midnight PST every Tuesday on www.killradio.org
DJ Earl-E, MC Prose, Bin Grim, Percee P
The Unseen Legion is Hip-Hop. And so it is a little bit of the streets. Every street. Everywhere. It is the underdog in the fight, the underground in the struggle. It is hands-on, do-it-yourself, something-out-of-nothing. It is the music and language of survival, all around the world.
The Unseen Legion is people everywhere. In the true Hip-Hop tradition, we pay homage to our roots while taking care of the present, and building for tomorrow.
The Unseen Legion is NOW. It is cultural revolution and spiritual evolution. It is introspection and self-expression. It speaks truth to power... and the music never lies.
Episode 18: The Rhyme Inspector
We didn't plan to have a guest this week on Unseen Legion Radio. But DJ EARL-E and BIN GRIM ended up talking with him at the Beat Swap Meet on Sunday and he agreed to come thru. And we're not dumb enough to turn down a chance to chop it up with one of the most humble, talented, hard working and slept-on artists of all time. So this week the legendary Rhyme Inspector PERCEE P joined us on the air. Highlights include firsthand stories of the legendary Patterson Projects park jams from the mid '70's, the real lowdown on how the classic Percee P vs. Lord Finesse battle came about, a discussion of Percee's unheralded impact on lyricism, a dope live Percee P acapella freestyle and so much more.
Of course Michael Jackson continued his gripping alien story, DJ Earl-E dug up plenty of old school hip-hop to spice up the mix and The Rhyme Inspector was in heavy rotation with songs from the 80's, and every decade since. I did mention that he is a legend, right? Do the knowledge. Right here on Unseen Legion Radio. One Love, y'all!
