Abstract Tribe Unique - South Central Thynk Taynk - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Originally released in 1998, South Central Thynk Taynk by Abstract Tribe Unique (Abstract Rude, Fat Jack, and DJ Drez) captures a pivotal moment in Los Angeles' underground scene-when young Black artists were reimagining hip-hop from the ground up. Blending jazz-inflected beats, spiritual insight, and fiercely independent production, the album became an anthem for self-reliance and creative rebellion.At the cultural core of the record is Project Blowed, the legendary L.A. collective founded by Abstract Rude and Aceyalone, which launched a lineage of boundary-pushing MCs and producers. While mainstream rap embraced the G-funk wave, Thynk Taynk carved an alternate path-steeped in poetry, politics, and visionary craft. The newly added bonus track, InchL.A. Styles Back (Project Blowed Remix),Inch features a heavyweight lineup-Aceyalone, Myka 9, Medusa, Pigeon John, Blu, 2Mex, Ellay Khule, Riddlore, and NGAFSH-connecting eras of innovation. South Central Thynk Taynk is more than a cult artifact; it's a bold, timeless statement from one of L.A.'s most vital creative voices. Album Tracks 1. Explanation 2. Hits Like Hank 3.
