Here’s a track I produced and recorded with Philadelphia’s BBR (Big Brother Resistance) back in 1999. The track is all about what layes beyond the fabled end of the Mayan Calendar: December 21st, 2012 (which happens to be today’s date, as I post this). The song was the very first release on Arrakis Records, printed on vinyl 12″ in 2000.…

Rahsheed & Ill Advised – 1.9.8.6. Video
I was at the video shoot for this way back in 1998 with Mic Meech of the legendary Fightins Phillies blog.

BBR Sessions (1998-1999) – Free Album Download
Between 1998-1999, I was a member of the Philadelphia-based group, BBR: Big Brother Resistance.

It was me on production as Binyameen and occasionally “Stinke”, and MCs Tim T and PCP. I produced all of the tracks…

But in 2009, finding pictures of…
