Originally concealed in the credits of the record covers under the heading “composition and production”, Guts secured his fame as a beatmaker by trimming the soundtrack of Alliance Ethnik, Big Red or the Svinkels. In solo since 2007 and his album “Le Bienheureux”, he then expanded his musical palette with “Freedom”, a darker released on his own label Pura Vida. Exiled in Ibiza, it's From his Balearic Island that he will publish in 2011 “Paradise For All”. Since hip hop broke into his life, somewhere in the 1980s, Guts has devoted it all his time and energy. From that passion is born “Hip Hop After All” in 2014.

Khali Jackon, Jorden Plaines and Dallas Ifill are 3 Titans, hailing from Brooklyn, they look barely old enough to tie their own shoelaces. Whilst 3 Titans may be small in stature, they are living proof to De La Soul’s testimony that 3 is indeed the magic number.

This song tells about the business of drug dealing and all the problems that are related to drugs from both the junkie’s and the dealer’s perspective. It also describes a girl who is willing to do anything for drugs.

This early Dr. Dre beat prominently samples the “Funky Worm” by Ohio Players.

Bullet in the Head is a song by American hardcore band Rage Against the Machine, released as the second single from their 1992 eponymous debut album. A fan favorite and one of the album’s heaviest tracks, “Bullet in the Head” refers to the band’s belief that the government uses media to control the population, drawing comparisons between typical residences and Alcatraz. The track was transferred intact from the band’s demo, also titled Rage Against the Machine.

“If It Isn’t Love” was the first single from the classic 1988 album Heart Break. The single peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached #2 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart as they were ironically held out of the #1 spot by former bandmate Bobby Brown’s single “Don’t Be Cruel.” This song tells the story of a young man trying to deny his feelings of love for a young lady but having no other emotion to describe his feelings for her. Producer Jimmy Jam said the following about the creation of the song:

We just mainly wanted to keep the fun in the music and give people the feeling that we got when we first heard ‘Candy Girl.’ We wanted people to feel when they heard ‘If It Isn’t Love,’ that same feeling. We just contemporized it using newer sounds. I remember the bass line on that song is sort of a derivative of the bass sound that we used on Janet Jackson’s song ‘Nasty.’ We thought it would be cool to have that bass line. We just wanted to make a classic chorus. I remember Terry [Lewis] came up with the lyric and melody for the beginning of the song because I didn’t have any ideas for that. The melody for the rest of the song was my idea and lyrically that was all Terry.

The music video for this song shows the group in a room rehearsing for a concert, and at the end of the video, the group is shown at the venue getting ready to go on stage. That final scene sets up the concert performance video for their follow-up single “You’re Not My Kind of Girl.”
