Mistah Rapsey is my name..
staying underground is the experience..

I’ve been traveling since my youth searching for experiences of truth. An old soul back again to discover what I left uncovered. I love to love and live to laugh. Enrolled in a school called Knowledge of Self. Paying attention is my drug. Learning to live Life like music and flow with the rhythm, careful not to miss a beat. A renaissance man, Life is my art project. An habitual nomad, I roam to evolve. Music and cannabis are my constant companions. Interested in people, i’m always searching for my tribe. The beauty of the wilderness is the closest i’ve come to experiencing Truth.

music, graffiti, vinyl, treeplanting, & mixtapes..

Love is an Action. Love is the Answer. Love is the Movement.

This song has the longest intro and i still listen to it on repeat.  GZA’s not the only genius in the Wu.  RZA is a GOD!

GZA & Ras Kass // Lyrical Swords

In honour of GZA who put on the greatest show last night and my favourite Wu-Tang blend project called Wu-Tang Meets the Indie Culture Vol. 1.


Coffee & Cigarettes: Delirium scene

(GZA, RZA and Bill Murray)

Great scene from a great film.

Got this record in the mail today from my lovely friend Mica, I am so excited about having this LP in my crates, i have a feeling its going to stay in heavy rotation for the rest of my life.  Thank you Mica, you have my love forever! About Impulse Records and Impulsive! Revolutionary Jazz Reworked record: “Impulse dragged jazz into the era of Black Power,” is one writer’s assessment, but Impulse did so much more than reflect a revolutionary age.  It also fit perfectly into the golden age of jazz, that brief window from the late fifties to the seventies when more jazz players than ever before (or since), representing every era of the tradition, were all alive and active.  Think Armstrong to Ayler, the legends to the latest and loudest arrivals.With a collection of source material that includes George Russell, Charles Mingus, Pharoah Sanders, and John Coltrane, among others, the set is already moving in the right direction, but the inventive, sometimes radical reworkings by the likes of Prefuse 73, the RZA, Kid Koala, and Sa Ra put this a cut above your average pedestrian, lounge-vibed, electronica/jazz outing. Follow Mica’s awesome blog here, she is the dopest chicka in the world! Wikipedia info on Impulse! (very interesting history)

City Haze- Lost in Tokyo (Produced by RZA)

I downloaded this song as soon as I saw RZA’s name.  It is a great beat, very cinematic and Japanese sounding.

The Charmels- As Long As I’ve Got You

RZA sampled this in C.R.E.A.M., one of the greatest hip-hop records ever made.

Wendy Rene - After Laughter

RZA samples this in the classic Wu-Tang Clan joint “Tearz”.

This is possibly my favorite RZA sample of all time.  I know he has sampled it in at least one more song but its not popping up in my head at the moment.

Update* Also sampled in:

Alicia Keys- Where Do We Go From Here?

OL DIRTY BASTARD- BLACK WIDOW PT 2

Shouts to Manifest Knowledge for the links.  Follow his blog if your not already, this guy obviously knows his shit.
