Brace 4 Impak

I just so happened to pop the Da Beatminerz' album, Brace 4 Impak, in the whip Saturday morning. What a great album. Anyways, hearing Krumbsnatcha that morning, I now realize I hadn't made mention of his apparent absence from the Hip-Hop Festival. And I also forgot to mention that L the Headtoucha was there and that I had gotten there too late to catch the Perceptionists (Akrobatik and Mr Lif) rip it down. For the uninformed Krumb is from Lawrence, L from Worcester, Ak from Codman Square (Dorchester) and Lif from Boston. Oh well. Here's Krumb's verse from the track Let's Talk About It (TROY Remix).

For every bulletshell that fly, or raindrop drip from the sky
Tears from the universal eye
Gunshots and needles, the problem of my people
How fate can meet you, behind the next desert eagle
We celebrate life like it's close to our death
Teachin all the seeds, with every strength in my breath
Pour my thoughts out and let it spill on the paper
Wrenchin my heart for every word, I stress in major
Like a drug dealer paranoid on point
Sendin kites to my dawgs locked in the joint
Does this world know me, cause right now I'm lonely
Pourin liqour for my homies, somebody show me
Big L, Stretch, and Tah, all gifted
Trouble, Big Buff, plus my man Scientific
Long live the martyrs of this game, embracin your names
May you be sheltered from the flames, God bless!
