Elevation (Free My Mind)

The B.U.M.S. (Brothas Unda Madness) were a group from the Bay area that came out with a pretty tight album (Life'N'Tyme) about a decade ago. The top track off of that LP was Elevation (Free My Mind) , a free-spirited crtitique of hip-hop integrity.

From sand docks to auction blocks to R&B from hip-hop, how many rappers flip-flop to get props? Signed the dotted line but didn't read through the costs (When your album sits on the desk) "That's when ya lost!"

Great emcess never seem to get their just due. Even in South Carolina, it was obvious what was up. So here's two cheers for Evocalist and D-Wyze. Hope they're still holding it down for the real hip-hop wherever their paths may have led them.

On a mission from God, to make the concious souls nod
when I'm rhymin, I take tracks of coal and then
compress em to a diamond, I'm in the mindstate
to escalate, when all rappers participate
it's fate for rap to elevate.
