General Steele – A Toast to Brooklyn f. Buckshot & Jo Chris

blame it on Shake April 1, 2009

Before I ignore the internets for a bit — to wrap up a few projects — here’s a fresh leak (that I premiered at the plantation) off the upcoming Welcome to Bucktown OST, presented by Steele (of Smif-N-Wessun). A project that features Brooklyn emcees; Stimuli, Boot Camp Clik, Shabaam Sahdeeq, UG (of the Cella Dwellas), Blahzah Blahzah, Smoothe Da Hustler & Trigger the Gambler. A list of artists that Steele  said…

…fit the cast so to speak; who could carry that 70’s energy naturally through their personal contributions. I carefully picked out each track and then I wrote down whom I would like featured on that particular song. Everyone who is featured on this soundtrack did so out of love and respect, which we all share for each other and is what this project is about…our love and supreme respect for the game and what we bring to it. I salute each and everyone who participated.

Production comes from the likes of Da Beatmierz (of Black Moon), DJ Revolution, Ayatollah, 7VEN H.D., Che Triumph, Sic Beats, J. Scrilla, Kevorkian & Suaze. Look for Welcome to Bucktown to drop May 5th. Hit the jump for the artwork and tracklist…
