Lord Finesse!

So in honor of Strictly Beats' one year anniversary, I've decided to do a post about one of my favorite producers, Lord Finesse. This guy is well known as being one of the golden age producers, along with Buckwild, Diamond D, DJ Premier, Showbiz, Pete Rock, K-Def, Large Professor, Marley Marl, Da Beatminerz, Easy Mo Bee, and so forth. If you haven't heard this guy, don't sleep on this. I would say this guy is as good, if not better than Buckwild or Easy Mo Bee. Anyways, there are 39 instrumentals for you to kick back and blaze to. Peace. And enjoy.

I thought it was appropriate to add this on since Nawl did one of these. First off, I'd like to thank all of the bloggers because we've built a blog with a completely unorganized fashion. I think one of the tools I use most often is the search box, to see whether what I wanna post has been posted yet. But anyways, thanks to Nawl, first off. This dude should really be thanked for opening my musical tastes up, and yours. He's the master of finding the good free instrumental stuff, but he also has a knack for good music in general, such as his memorable Molemen posts, his Hydrabeats and Golden Era posts, and his other random indie instrumentalists. He adds an indie abstract touch to this blog. Andrew opened my eyes up to music that I perceive as flawless. He is constantly making me question the albums that I perceive as classic. He's got me wondering if Lauryn Hill's "classic" is just an average album. His ability to question classics makes me believe that I might have missed something that he saw. Espiv is a friend, and is always reliable when it comes to posting instrumentals that emcees can benefit from (i.e. freestyle to). He adds more to the great chemistry. Rob Steady, 9@Home, Mass Incorporated (where's he been?), Dun, Swann, and Andy don't stop by that much, but when they do it's always cool to chat with 'em. But most importantly, I'd like to thank DJ Espionage for allowing me to contribute to this blog. Honestly, it has been a real pleasure to get to know some of you and expand my music collection. A few that deserve mention are Soul Guru, Repenteths, Albinored, 4Real, Skopos, and many more whom I'm sure I forgot. Pretty much anyone who hits up the CBox just to chat. It's nice to build with people about this music. To another year!
