The album pictured above isn’t new. In fact, it’s 5 years old (might as well be 100 in the current internet age). But if you picked it up in 2005, or came across since, you’re lucky because it is a Hip Hop classic. L.E.G.A.C.Y. hails from North Carolina, rolls with Little Brother and the Justus League, watched “Fight Club” with his girlfriend one night and became utterly inspired. The result was a spectacular underground album, and I thought at the time, destined stardom for L.E.G. In fact, I interviewed L.E.G. right before the debut album dropped (read it here).
To honor the 5 year anniversary, L.E.G.A.C.Y. is going back through the vaults to revisit the album, as well as songs that could’ve, would’ve, and should’ve made the album. The first is the album’s slashed self-titled intro track (go figure). It is produced by 9th Wonder (early 9th production) and features Keisha Shontelle. Download it here.
