Biography
Today, Illmaculate & G_Force bring us The Green Tape -
their collaborate reworking of soul legend Al Green‘s 2008 release, Lay It Down.
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. …
