EXecute, just a random name for these mixes in June - I'm not that down with Sage Francis, but this remix has an exceptional instrumental. Some more One.be.lo. by request, and "Hip-Hop Vs. Rap", Spinbad Remix, wow I heard this on the radio around 96 and i had dubbed it off the radio and play the shit out of that tape, a lost the tape a year later, and found it on the web about a weekago. It has shitty radio quilty, so i bet they dubbed on tape and later uploaded it. "Going Back" is one of the better Micranots tracks. Mountain Bros Track, isnt their best, dont like the track, but a rare b-side featuring and produced by Styles of Beyond.

On a sidenote, the search function is still broken... If anyone knows how to fix this, please let us know :)

And for the following I feel like a bum, but I still want to ask you this. we're working on The Find's official website as we speak, but the costs of it (host+domain etc) are pretty high (82 euro's = 116 dollars), so that's one of our issues as we speak.
Hopefully you can support us by donating a small amount of money. If lots of people do that, then we can make this happen big time! If not, then it will happen anyway, haha, but some donations would speed up the progress. We already have the half of the costs (thanks everyone, you can't imagine how much we appreciate it!), so we're getting there!
See it as an investment: you get a great Hip Hop website in return ;)

Thanks for understanding and my apologies for being such a bitch for asking!
