about

"Bars For Hella" is a timeless hip-hop anthem that pays homage to the roots of underground rap while pushing the boundaries of sonic exploration. This collaboration brings together the raw talent of Prozack Turner, of Bay Area hip-hop legendary crew Foreign Legion, and the revered Northwest emcee Specs Wizard, who emerged from the vibrant Seattle underground hip-hop scene.

Prozack Turner and Specs Wizard first crossed paths in the early 1990s during the freestyle cyphers, energetic shows, and vibrant graffiti community that defined the Seattle hip-hop scene. Their shared love for the culture and dedication to their craft led to a deep friendship and a mutual respect for each other's skills on the mic.

The track "Bars For Hella" serves as a testament to the journey these two artists have undertaken, intertwining their paths throughout the years. It showcases their growth as lyricists and their unwavering commitment to the essence of hip-hop.

During their multiple European tours, Prozack Turner and DJ Flip, Dublin's renowned world champion turntablist, embarked on a quest to connect with audiences and expand their musical horizons. It was during one of these journeys that fate brought them to Reykjavik, where they crossed paths with the enigmatic producer Intr0beatz.

Intr0beatz's production on "Bars For Hella" reflects his Icelandic roots, blending dark and atmospheric elements with boom bap sensibilities. The instrumental captures the essence of the haunting landscapes that Iceland is known for, infusing the track with an otherworldly aura.

The synergy between Prozack Turner and Specs Wizard is undeniable as they trade razor-sharp verses that reflect their lyrical prowess, personal experiences, and introspection. Their chemistry stems from a shared history rooted in the freestyle cyphers and hip-hop culture, providing a foundation for their seamless collaboration.

Supported by DJ Flip's unmatched skills on the turntables, his precise cuts and scratches elevate the track's energy and serve as a reminder of the bonds created during their European adventures.

"Bars For Hella" not only celebrates the rich history and connections forged within the Seattle and Bay Area hip-hop scenes but also highlights the global impact and collaborative nature of the genre. This dark and captivating track unites Prozack Turner, Specs Wizard, DJ Flip, and Intr0beatz, resulting in a timeless masterpiece that pays homage to their shared experiences and pushes the boundaries of hip-hop's sonic landscape.
