This is the track that sucked me in to becoming a Roots fan. Black Thought's lyrics are vicious and the beat is just as deadly to match. A great combo but this one is just the music.

Dark Narc
The styles of seventies soundtrack scores inspired Mysterio to tool up and track his own take on the genre. Focused heavily on percussion he came back and sprinkled xylophones, dark pianos and two different bass instruments and then threw on top some choice dialogue from the movies "Narc", "The Dark Knight" and "Carlito's Way".

Soft Suckas
A gem from back in the days of Dammon. Mysterio crafted this jazz and funk infused track with a vocal sample from Philly bred Steady B.

Strictly Beats:DJ Premier - Suspended In Time
DJ Premier dug in the crates and scooped up Michael Vinier's Incredible Bongo Band for this Group Home song made back in the mid nineties. I wouldn't find the original sample until years later much less the instrumental for this song. However, it still gets me to this day. The birds in the background buried in the sample remind me of rainy days in Coney Island on the pier for some reason.
