"Since the beginning, the battles has been an important part of Hip Hop. It's that place where some careers are born and other are endend (remember Busy Bee and Kool Moe Dee, Melle Mel and KRS ?). The battle is crucial to the elevation of the art form because the challenge in itself encourage innovation. We at Ill Boogie Records are interested in doing our part to push the limits and raise the stakes. This is the second single in the already anticipated series known as the "Ill Boogie Battle Records.
Two set of DJs and MCs were paired up and sent into the studio separatly, armed with nothing but the same "fat track" and the same "title" to work with. Neither pair heard other's creation until both were complete. The results have been pressed up for you on a piece of premium wax ; and to complete the package, we sought two of the most respected LA graffiti artist to bomb the cover. By no means is this an effort to create static between the artists involved. This is an opportunity for MCs and DJs to do their thing and shine in good company. It's now up to you to be the judge".

Notes :
The second installment of the Ill Boogie battle series

Ill Boogie Records (Ex Blackberry Records)

Back to basics ! Hip Hop started with MC's, DJ's, a mic and two turntables, battling and all that... It's what M Boogie was thinking about when he produced these 12" titled On Deadly Ground and Patience, give them the same beat and let's see what they will do with it. The result is dope Hip Hop tracks with skills on the mic and the wheels of steel...
This is the same concept as the Jamaicans use for a while on their "One Riddim LP's" or 7" series, you have to step your game up to shine over other heads, only the strong survive...

There's two 12" with this formula, I'll update the post later with the other tracks on Patience (and the instrumentals if requested) by Grand Agent & DJ Revolution, I didn't ripped it because even if they are good at what they do usually, they failed on this particular one... Meanwhile I post Born Allah & Melo D track on Patience beat.

The third 12" is by Otherwise (Some Other Ish), the B side (The Robbery) wasn't good enough to be on my personal compilation, same as above it will be updated when possible. Cuts are by DJ Revolution.
