Flashing Through Time I & II – HeeSun Lee & SeDa

In Season 5, followers of “Lost” were shocked when they learned that the Island had somehow become adrift in time. Fans watched as the characters struggled to adjust while the Island around them flashed through different time periods – “like a record skipping,” according to resident time travel expert Daniel Faraday.

We decided to flip this concept, with the emcees skipping through different eras in hip hop’s musical history. Once we decided on this path, JahRock’n beat historian Tony “Keynote” Sebro went to work. He dropped an old school, early ‘80s drum machine joint (UTFO meets JJ Fad) and a Bomb Squad/PE tribute for the late ‘80s. We also came up with a fresh New Jack Swing cut circa 1990, an East Coast stomp track from the early ‘90s (we think Pete Rock, DJ Muggs, and Evil Dee would’ve been proud of this one) and a send-up of 1996 G-Funk to round out our little retrospective. Then, to push the concept even further, DJX-Ray came with a futuristic hip hop/club track to show where hip hop is yet to go.

HeeSun Lee and SeDa went all out, even spitting era-appropriate flows on some tracks (props to SeDa for his “Aaron Hall” vocal ad libs on the New Jack Swing flash, and to HeeSun for going “full 2Pac” on the G-Funk cut). These “Time Flashes” were a blast to create; we think the fun we had comes shining through.

Shout out to A-1 Swift, dc Talk, Peace 586, Gospel Gangstas, Cross Movement, Dynamic Twins, Corey Red, GRITS, and all of the other pioneers who have repped and continue to rep inspirational lyricism throughout hip hop’s history.
