Illmaculate x G_Force

For what was originally meant to be an instrumental release,

G_Force had sampled & flipped the entire ?uestlove & James Poyser-produced LP,

song-by-song & piece by piece – all in one day.

& then later on – Illmaculate, who just happened to be in G_’s studio that day,

took it upon himself to write to the beat CD & voila! – The Green Tape was born.

Although the project together as naturally it did,

it still found both artists challenging themselves in new ways -

G_ limiting himself to just one sample source,

& much less live instrumentation that he’s known for,

matched with Ill stepping out of his typecast comfort zone of battle raps

& continuing to push his subject matter into more personal & universal places.

Both of which combine to make this a unique project in either artist’s catalog,

as well as in any fan’s music library. ...
