RAP-N-BLUES.com hooked up with DJ 12Finger Dan and DJ B-Base, the producers behind the Boom Bap Masterpiece Collector’s Item. They wanted to share a little bit of their perspective on the album and what made them do it, the way it has been done. Listen to every track, spiced up with a little anecdote.

„Get Some“ feat. Craig G
Want some? Get Some! Turn On The Kick Drum! Craig G from the legendary Juice Crew with some dope ass lyrics and a great diss against the keyboard beats and synth-pop 80s (Pet Shop Boys). Of course some dope Cuts will not be missing.
Some of the scratches are from the 2003s freestyle bonus track of his album „This Is Now“. A line made me almost wet myself LOL: „It’s Real Hip Hop, Without No Shiney Keyboards, Just Banging Beats!“.
Damn! That´s what I´m talking About! The grimey beat which I produced entirely on the SP1200 goes straight forward. One of my favorites on that album!
Your’s truly, DJ 12 Finger Dan
