***Over the past 15 years, L.A. underground music has been defined by its lyricism and multi-dimensionality. Massive's raw production, along with FatJack and DJ SLIP, were the beats that the pioneers of the Good Life such as Freestyle Fellowship, Jurassic 5, The Pharcyde and others displayed the skills on. Massive was first heard outside the region through his work on the Project Blowed album as well as Abstract Tribe Unique's Mood Pieces album. Also known as Awol One's first producer and music mentor, Massive has a signature sound that spawned next generation of L.A. producers such as Mike Nardone, SACH, Hive and C.V.E. After a small hiatus to work behind the scenes on major label projects with artists like Snoop Dogg and Kid Frost, Massive brings the beats of Project Blowed and The Good Life out of the cramped spaces, and off the dusty mix tapes, and drops them onto wax for deejays and emcees hoping to blow up their own regional battle circuits. This long overdue slice of L.A. history consists of a variety of never-released beats and breaks to keep every emcee thirsty, and a breakdown of the drum loop on each song for the little producer in all of us. Cover art by Massmen's favorite political prisoner, Awol One. - Long overdue beats and breaks album by influential L.A. producer who has worked with everyone who's anyone
- Sure to garner interest from followers of Project Blowed, Freestyle Fellowship, Abstract Tribe Unique, and the L.A. underground
