Funny story...Akil (of Jurassic 5) got hit up by Geoff to come through while we were on tour with him in the UK. We went to the studio, Geoff hit us with some beats on the spot and let us pick what we wanted to rock to. It was a really chill and inviting environment....just a bunch of diggers (The Quakers) and us zonin out in the lab.

He let us hold onto the beats. Some of them had vocals on them. "Fitter Happier" just had Guilty's verse on it. Prince Po was on it (as you can tell from the video), and Buff 1.

*Note: As we were finishing up Adrian Utley showed up to lay some bass on some Portishead tracks. Needless to say...EXCITED!!*

Fast forward a couple years, my sis Lyric Jones wanted to do a record with Buff 1, so I told her to hit him up about the Quakers joint because after his verse, the beat just looped for a few minutes...plenty of time to potentially make a jam.

He hit them up, they hit her with a track, and that's how "R.A.I.D." ended up on the record.

This record was really done on some "Oh word? you rap? let me hear something.....that's dope! here's a beat".

So yeah...I can now cross off "end up on a Stones Throw release" from my to do list.

I fuckin LOVE Hip Hop!!
