The Legion
Straight from The
Bronx, the home of hip-hop, comes the trio, The Legion (Chucky Smash,
Molecules and Cee-Low). As signees to Black Sheep's One Love imprint,
they debuted in 1993 with the brilliant underground classic, "Jingle
Jangle" - an ill piano sample driven track with a highly quotable
finishing verse from Dres of Black Sheep. The Legion followed up with
the sweet laden Roy Ayers looped up single, "Legion Groove" and their
now much sought after debut album, "Theme + Echo = Krill" (1994)
featuring affiliated acts like Black Sheep, Chi-Ali and Showbiz &
A.G.
After a hiatus for a few years, they resurfaced with the
12-inch, "Street Thing / Caught Up" (1998) on Legion Records/Fat Beats
and some appearances on Dres' "Sure Shot Redemption" album. Then the
Bronx trio went quiet.
While Molecules handled dope production for Dres, Mos Def, Milano,
Amanda Marshall and even appeared on P!nk's "Stupid Girls", Chucky
Smash's been hosting radio shows in the BX. The three long-time friends
never stopped doing music together but it was already 2011 when the
trio finally made a dope comeback on the Beneficence collabo track,
"Aim, Fire, Spit".
"The Lost Tapes" ain't only a simple compilation of rare and unreleased
tracks, it's rather a musical documentation of a group that has been
staying in its lane creating raw, uncut, and uncompromising Bronx
flavor for more than two decades now. So this 20-track strong album
includes the rare 12" single only "Freestyle Demolition" from 1994,
rare old and unavailable on CD tracks, unreleased joints and
instrumentals plus 3 brand new bangers ("For You", "Stereo", "Stereo
[Remix]"), produced by The Legion, Buckwild, and Confidence (of Rashad
& Confidence).
Take a trip down memory lane with these dope Bronx tales and street
beats from The Legion and stay tuned for a brand new album plus the
Molecules & Showbiz "A Bronx Tale" EP.
