With today being the 20 year anniversary of Raekwon‘s “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…” album, we figured we would re-upload a tape we did with Raekwon back in 2009. Congrats to Rae on over 20 years of success!

DJ Premier on the Making of “Mass Appeal” (Video)
On 5/12/14, we’ll be dropping our latest tape, Leaks That Collected Dust: The Audio-Biography of DJ Premier. We sat down with DJ Premier and had him give us some backstory on some of the classic records he’s been a part of. In this video he gives us some backstory on “Mass Appeal” by Gang Starr.
Nas x L.A. Leakers – Skillmatic (Mixtape)
Tomorrow is the 20 year anniversary of possibly the BEST Hip-Hop album (depending who you ask) EVER recorded, Illmatic. With that, we wanted to re-release a tape we did with Nas back in 2008, before we were the “L.A. Leakers,” before we had Twitter or Instagram, and before we had any sense of what a good intro sounded like…. Haha! This was what first gave us the idea to do our audio-biographies that we do. We didn’t fully have the idea down yet, but going back and listening made us want to know stories more in detail and that’s when we did our first REAL audio-biography. Pass this along to all the Nas fans you know, they’ll enjoy it for sure. Congrats to Nas on 20 years! By the way, if you got a hard copy of this, you’re a SUPER O.G.

Mixtape: DJ Quik x LA Leakers – The Audio-Biography Of David
Where to begin?!! DJ MOTHAFUCKIN’ QUIK!! For those that aren’t familiar with our audio-biographies, this is basically an audio book with Quik telling stories of certain songs through his career. To me, Quik is the most overlooked West Coast artist PERIOD! I know he’s mentioned a lot, but I don’t think he’s mentioned enough in comparison to all the classic material he’s put out and produced since the late 80’s. Dude NEVER disappoints! His new album, “The Book of David”, is no different. It drops on 4/20! Make sure you go support one of the few artists that’s still putting out quality music these days! Huge thanks to Fuzzy Fantab and the whole fam at Cashmere agency.

Clipse x LA Leakers: Got It For Leaks (Audio-Biography)
“Got It For Leaks: The Audio-Biography” is here! For those that don’t know, we do these projects called “audio-biographies” with artists which is basically a look behind the scenes of what went on making certain records. With this project, we sat down with the Clipse and they gave the history on some of their biggest records. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Thanks for taking the time to download! Shout to Steven Victor and Lulu!
