Everybody knows that the Teacha is one of, if not the very fiercest emcees on the mic, but it's been his production that's been criticized in recent years. While his working with largely unknown producers does much to restore an apprenticeship system and introduce KRS to an audience of young people that may not otherwise discover what the Teacha has to offer, it also results in a hit-and-miss end product. It's very clear the way that emcees step up and rise to the occasion when blessed with top-level beats, and a real producer takes that even a step further. The All School Minded/ Hip Hop Lives projekt with Marley Marl not only set aside 20 years of beef and set an example as far as that goes, but was also a step in the right direction in terms of production. The formula of one producer and one emcee working together in synergy is a winning one and this may just be the very best thing until we get that Teacha/Primo joint we're all waiting for. ;)

KRS-ONE turned to Dru Ha and Buckshot (co-owners of Duck Down Records) to bring a certain sound and production to this upcoming project,
