Scanz - The Basement Chronicle Back Cover

Me and Scanz go back a little minute, and all I can say listening to his latest, The Basement Chronicle, is wow. Dude has always been ill (peep his previous Rawkus Records release), but listening to this so far he really hit his mark lyrically, flow-wise, and production-wise. With dope collabs with the legendary KRS-ONE, Mr. Lif, Akrobatik, Reef the Lost Cauze, Chaundon , and more, you’d be cheating yourself not to download this free album. For real!

Good to see the homie Bex got the album done…and its dope. Still going through it now but I wanted to post. So far solid beats and solid rhymes straight through.

Right now I’m really feeling the tracks “I Wonder” and “Life” featuring Ogun.

Oh and best believe I got some heat with Bex in the stash!
