Emcee/Producer/Komposa/Alien G-Clef Da Mad Komposa finally drops his most anticipated work ever... HIS VERY OWN EP. This CD contains songs never heard by mortal ears... songs that soul kid/true hiphop fans NEED TO HEAR. Incredible beats laced by the funkiest emcee of our time, yall better cop this before a meteorite crashes into the earth and kills us all...
The mysterious lost G-Clef Breaks produced and komposed by G-Clef between 1997-2000, these beats are on that next level shizzz...The follow-up to the popular G-Clef's Jazzy Breaks, which was originally released in the 1990's on 12" LP format, here is, for the first time, even grittier and slightly more recent beats and grooves by the master of the "live loop", G-Clef himself, of Wu-Tang and Ghetto Philharmonic fame. This is a collection of never before released instrumentals from the late nineties, "drama" beat era.
Produced by G-Clef, Jazzy Breaks is an innovative blend between trip-hop, acid jazz and hip-hop! Features live horns and keyboards...a deejay favorite! By popular demand, more of the illest, experimental, lamped back, yet mystical journey through the mind of the Mad Komposa himself. Again, features missing beats from the Ghetto Philharmonic days, mixed with new flavors such as "Duke Arise!", where Jazz legend Duke Ellington is resurrected from his grave on the most earth-shattering Trip-Hop Track ever!!!!
G-Clef da Mad Komposa is unique among Hip-Hop Producers in that his talent as an emcee and a professional musician have put him at the underground forefront of every avant garde movement in the history of Hip-Hop since he started making tracks in 1988. Here by popular demand are some of the classic instrumental tracks that provided the sonic canvas for artists such as himself, the legendary Soul Kid Klik, Ghetto Philharmonic, Infamous Mr. Savage, Goodfella Mike G, and even the late great Weldon Irvine. Presented here in two volumes, Kompositionz, Volume 1 and 2, should finally establish, without a doubt, the classic quality of G-Clef's beats that earned him the title of the 'Mad Komposa' from his peers.

Soulkid Veteran Producer, G-Clef has dug deep into his crates to compile this special edition release of many of his rarest productions throughout the years. This album is a goldmine of until now, unreleased gems, spanning from 1992 all the way up to 2001, with artists like Gravediggaz, Onyx to lesser known Soul Kid Klik members like Quayshaun, formerly signed to Epic Records. This is a MUST for any serious underground Hip-Hop collector!
In 1992, Tuff City Records signed Ghetto Philharmonic, the premier jazz-meets-rap crew, the true innovators of the whole soon to be jazz/rap movement eventually associated with A Tribe Called Quest, US2, Digable Planets, and Brand New Heavies. However GP had a difference in that the emcees and producers were not only B-Boys who stayed true to the art, but accomplished jazz musicians as well. After performing at the 1993 New Music Seminar, just about every major label got a taste of the future, and soon scrambled to develop "similar" acts. By the time their album, "Hip-Hop Be-Bop" was finally released in 1994 after considerable delay, Tuff City had missed the boat. Here now, for the first time since 1994, are the alternate masters, digital remasterings, and shelved songs: the definitive recordings of Ghetto Philharmonic.
