So, time to bring yall up to date. Philo and I have been talking about working on a follow up to our 2004 release Esse Quam Videri since, well, 2004. Not that weve been sitting around rotting or anything (check out fistfamily.net for our other projects). Its just that the stars have not aligned til now, and so here we are. About a month ago I went to Philo’s studio, where all pre-production for this album will be done, and sat down to listen to some new beats Philo’s been working on. He finally made the big leap to the MPC 2000, and so a whole new sound has been emerging from his speakers. Anyway, he played a keeper, we got some beer, sat down, and wrote and recorded the first track for our new project. We mutually agreed that this was one of the finest songs either of us had worked on, and so… Since then we had, I believe, 4 or 5 similar sessions and it became apparent that a new Ironfist album was in the works. I didn’t keep my camera much til now so here’s what I got from a couple of Thursdays ago. I woke up, got a haircut, hit up The Hundreds to holler at the homies, and headed over to Dick Nasty’s to record a new solo song about time over a very daunting beat…

Dick Nasty is a real dope producer and a fine rapper at that. Check out The Dick Nasty Report to see what he’s up to.

The song came off and so I hopped on the 49 bus and headed to The Mission to meat Philo for carne asada tortas and rap music. Our rellie Eddie K was coming over anyway to get on a Crazy Mob track, and J Eaze had just gotten off work so, We made a new song.

The beat was hella fast and light-hearted which almost threw me off, but you know, this is how summertime jams are made. Anyway, a couple of hours and several beers later we had the new jam! This one may be my favorite though our first track was retarded, this one is just way too much fun.

Eddie K is a legend in the bay, I first heard him in like 98′ and have always been a fan. Since that day, we’ve had two other sessions. One for the Liquor Sick album over a Conceit beat and another Ironfist track ft. LQ Savee. I aim to document the rest of the album process much more accurately so, now you’re caught up. More to come soon.
