Still kills me to this day how much potential these cats had. And how dope these cats were and yet they ended up with nada. Most def one of the most slept on groups EVER!! Anthony Cruz was a beast.

A-butta…. good stuff. Just picked up the 2Face (Blindside Records) 12″ of NYC/Hey,Hey,Hey off of Ebay from Japan. Priceless. Cop it if U see it. Quintessential Hip-Hop. Sounds as fresh in 2008 as it did in 1996.

Firstly, NE needs to understand how happy we all would be if they were to compile some official shit for us (whether it’s the Tommy Boy shit or whatever)….we are salivating at the thought. Natural Elements…..one of the illest crews ever!!! C’mon, Voodoo, A-Butta, and L-Swift spittin over Charlemagne beats….please!!! Incredible. A-Butta, get rid of the plaid pants and reconnect with NE…it’s NOT too late!

-To B.V, That JB’s track is called “The Promo.”

Don’t forget about the lost member in the Natural Elements camp, KA. “KA, I am a genius I mean this…” Charlemagne’s beats are some of the most underated of all time. I loved hearing all the exclusive promo’s and demo’s on WNYU’s New York Live Show with Mayhem and DJ Riz and WKCR’s Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Show. Not to mention the classic Natural Elements freestyles on other shows like WBAI’s Underground Railroad. Mr. Voodoo aka Agu started as an intern with J-Smooth on the Undergroung Railroad in like 1992-93. I could go on forever….
