Genius

Rewind. An old track from the year of 1993. This was the instrumental for the first track the collective known as Universal Sounds would rhyme on. Horns from some menacing keystone cops caper introduce the song as a deep walking bass flows with seventies chimes over a snapping drum track.

DJ Vadim has made so much music over the years that it can be hard to sift through at times. This is one track that stood out to me. Smooth and laid back. The vibe of the beat does justice to the songs title.

Mysterio performed a seance and gathered the likes of Herbie Mann, John Klemmer, Larry Coryell and the Afro Blues Quintet for this rendition of Inspectah Deck's "R.E.C. Room" single.

With this jazz influenced track I.N.S. glides swiftly over the musical landscape as Mysterio delivers cuts and sound effects to accentuate his sharp darts.

Various melodic instruments encompass this multiple drum track landscape Mysterio created from his inner mind. Samples from the movie "Sunshine" and "Star Trek 5" enhance the musical experience leaning towards the metaphysical. This is one of Mysterio's favorite tracks he created due to the fact he loves to contemplate things that are otherworldly.

Rhodes keys, moog bass, and wah wah guitar fill out the soundscape for the GZA and Sadat X to drop some insightful lyrics. Kick and snare cuts by Mysterio enhance the rhythmic track while sound effects compliment the verses dropped by the two dynamic emcees. Rounding it out is Jules from Pulp Fiction who states what purpose he has found in his own life.

Go Beneath

Death Blows

Circa 1993. A mixture of a heavily filtered reggae bass along with two different guitars and weird bell sound with horns drive along the crusty drum track. A perfect battle/freestyle beat for the given era.

Payback is Out of Sight

The films "Payback" and "Out of Sight" are paid homage to by Mysterio in this thematic masterwork. It almost has a dub reggae feel to it with the deep bass line but added upon the track is a Dobro guitar which is a nod to the Lompoc prison scene with George Clooney and Luis Guzman. Blues organs accentuate the rhythm provided as it lays way for the several samples of choice dialogue from both films.

L.E.S.

This beat comes up from the 1993-94 era. A sample from the group Hard Knocks kicks off this jazzy mix meshed together by Mysterio. Jazz tinged drums over a walking bassline are encountered by pianos, horns and trumpets. I definitely wished that this would of came to fruition as a song but it is still dope as an old instrumental.
