Bay area hip hop legends Foreign Legion, consisting of super emcees Prozack Turner and Marc Stretch, have been busy. Making a solid name since the year 2000 with their now classic debut, “Kidnapper Van: Beats To Rock While Bike Stealing”, the follow up album in 2002, “Playtight”, two critically acclaimed solo albums from Prozack Turner, “Death,Taxes and Prozack” 2004, and “Bangathon!” 2006, which both featured production from Pete Rock, Madlib, Jay Dilla, Organized Noize, Oh No, and The Alchemist, as well as guests such as Brother Ali, combined with consistent touring in both the United States, Europe and Australia, Foreign Legion are one of the most respected hip hop crews in the underground. The high powered stage show, “A list” production and lyrical prowess, combined with tales of all night parties, life, pain, love, loss and a passion for making music, have all contributed to the success of Foreign Legion. The new EP, “The Secret Knock” is a six song classic that is sure to get heavy rotation in any tastemakers playlist! rootdownclub.com

Afrika Bambaataa was an important rap-music pioneer who, much like Grandmaster Flash, became a forgotten elder statesman as rap evolved. Bambaataa, who took his name (which means “affectionate leader”) from a movie about Zulu warriors, quit the notorious Black Spades street gang in the mid-’70s and formed Zulu Nation, a music-oriented “youth organization.” Among the members who became minor rap luminaries were DJs Red Alert, Jazzy Jay, and Whiz Kid, as well as Afrika Islam, who went on to work with Ice-T. -
