Faces At The Bottom Of A Well :: Ceschi Speaks From “Behind Bars”

from the digital desk of Ceschi:

“Over time I’ve done many collaborative songs.  Some of these are probably familiar to you while others barely came out or never came out.  After 10 plus years of rapping on other people’s songs it’s gotten to the point where it would be possible to gather quite a few albums worth of this material – like maybe 50.  One day, before i was locked up, my friend Mo Niklz suggested that he’d like to compile mixes of key verses I’ve done on tracks with other folks.  He came up with the title Ceschi Behind Bars, which was just awfully sad and funny at the same time – which may also be a good adjective combo to describe a lot of what i do.  Mo searched far and wide for some of these tracks and had the patience of saint when i sent him constantly updated lists of tracks i was on – even from prison.  Massive thank you to Mo for making this happen and thanks to all of artists who asked me to be on tracks over the years!”

Back To The Future :: “Days Of Future Past” By Willie Green


from the digital desk of Willie Green:

“I’ve got a lot of songs.

A lot like “200 in the past six years” a lot.

That’s what I told Mo Niklz when I asked him to mix this compilation for me. The idea of narrowing down this many songs to the best 30 was a bit daunting; we finally threw in the towel, leaving the final track count at 38. But hell, if those last eight were so good that we couldn’t keep them off, hopefully you’ll find a way to forgive us.

I gave Mo a lot of license picking which songs would make it;  I sent him a relatively short list of “must-includes” and told him to surprise me.  The result is a solid hour of some of my favorite cuts, along with some unheard gems, featuring Junclassic, Warren Britt, the Bronx up-and-comer Deshawn Supreme, and rap legend General Steele of Boot Camp Clik.

These are songs I either produced or remixed.  Every beat here is mine.  The download includes liner notes with stories about each song.  Many thanks to Backwoodz Studioz, and everyone involved in making these songs, as well as my many others.

I hope you enjoy.”
