In late 2006 Man Bites Dog Records founder RML would start a project with producer Kount Fif that would be 5 years in the making. The idea was simple enough; create a record that would hold up to the classics that the two producers grew up listening to. Records like Wu tang’s “36 Chambers”, Mobb Deep’s “Infamous” record and Duck Down classics like Heltah Skeltah’s “Nocturnal”. As simple the idea seemed the execution would exhaust every resource the two had made in their time in the music business. Like butchers trimming the fat off the bone, the two producers would constantly be picking at the record, making sure that the final product was worthy. In 2012, the last cycle in the Great Mayan Calendar the two Virginia based producers offer up their hard work and sacrifice in the way of The Swashbuckler ” Volume 1: The Viking Wars”.
