So, an old friend of mine from Chicago calls me up and asks me if i remember a name of this specific track from like seven years ago.  It was a track off of a mix cd that i would make my friends. At the time (seven years ago) I was introduced to underground Hip Hop and I was all into it, all i would do is dig and dig for music.  This was around the same time when like high speed internet was fairly new like not to many people had high speed. So it was my first year in college at the dorms - big up SIU - and i had access to high speed internet so I was downloading like crazy all this UNDERGROUND HIP HOP such as Atmosphere, Dose One, Sage Francis, Josh Martinez, Heiro, Living Legends and so many more. While I was being educated in this new form of music - to me it was - my friends back home were still listening to mainstream so i would make them mix cd’s of all these underground artists.

Seven years later my boy Brian (What up Dog!!) hits me up and he’s like: “Whats the name of that track man, It sounds all futuristic and outerspace”, once he said that i knew it was Zion I - Silly puddy.  When i first heard this track I thought Future and outer space so i didn’t even bother to dig up old tracks and research to figure out what track it was cause i knew this was the track.
So if you guys don’t know this track, you are missing out. This track is a gem a must have in your music library. I used to love to burn one down and zone out to this track.

Its Zion I hip hop duo from, Oakland, California, consisting of Producer DJ AmpLive and MC Zumbi teaming up with rapper The Grouch from the Living Legends.  The Track is called Silly Puddy off the Mind Over Matter album. One of my all time faves.  Brian Ken G turn your stereos up and reminisce on the old days, this one brings us back.
