Orchestrated By:
Dark 7 Invader (Wu-International)
Date: 11th November, 2011
There is a whole album of songs that we and RZA THE GREAT
wanted for this album but the execs over at Koch was like
no, no, no so we put it out our selves several times :0) and
called it Northstar presents
West Coast
Killa Beez which was first called
Underground Sh*t
az a lot of fans know Warcloud was
all over that album being that at the time he had left Black
Knight over creative differences even though they were still
cool and working together and he was mainly riding wit
us but when Koch said they wanted us to record it in LA we
did just that to make a long story short, a lot changed when
we went back to re-record the album.
Kinetic,
Pachino and Ninth got involved because they knew we needed the
support, same wit everybody else from Trife to Freemurder,
Mathematics, Suga Bang Bang, Solomon Childs, Krymelife, The
Knigths etc all family, Masta Killa and Dirty (ODB RIP) was supposed to
get on but due to miscommunication it never happened, Masta
Killah even had a verse that I never got to hear for Red
Rum.
All and All it was received great on the underground and it
even got great write ups in almost every major hip hop mag
you can name Vive, The Source, Double XL, etc yet the label
and RZA THE GREAT could not see eye to eye and they wanted
the album NOW! RZA THE GREAT wanted what he wanted so
I must
admit that between me and Alan Grumblat over there at Koch
we did some gangster yet junky shit when RZA was out of town
to get the masters for press cuzz I wanted that album out as
bad as them on the East, North, West and Central Long Beach
city!!! :0) yet RZA THE GREAT did some gangster shit too and
cut the tour short and kept the video money, and changed the
title from The RZA presents to Bobby Digital presents thats why you
saw the first covers were almost different :0) so there it is.. may it reign for
ever and a day Bobby Digital presents according to CHRIST
BEARER THE GREAT;0)

Luv Allah: ft. Beretta 9 This
song was ready made blessing from Armand Van Helden.
Choco played the beat for me, and the beat actually says
"come along" and at same time I was saying "Love Allah",
When writing my verse to this the feeling was royal, I
mean Armand really is the star of this track. Beretta 9
from Killarmy came through to bless it with us. Luv
Allah is were we from L A in the supreme mathematics L
is Love and A is Allah. Me and Meko both played
basketball together ever since we were kids on the same
teem or rival team even before that we were both on the
same boxing team coached by my step pops. So when I was
18 I met this cat that moved to the hood from Chicago,
his name was Malahki, he was in the Nation of Islam and
would always try to get brothers in the hood to peep the
final call, read teachings of THE MOST HONORABLE ELIJAH
MUHAMMAD and things of that nature yet nobody was tryna
hear it being that its hard to get 85% of the people to
do right yet those same people are easily led astray.
when I came through being that I always had a special
influence on and in my community All praise due to
Allah! I challenged dude when other cats just did not
want to hear it and we all doubted what he said yet only
I would debate and argue and the homies hated that
because that just allotted him time to build more and
crush my argument cuzz in actualality I had no argument
so I started to realize this and the next thing you know
I put down the basketball picked up the knowledge of
self and others due to the fact THE MOST HONORABLE
ELIJAH MUHAMMAD taught that the rappers and mc"s would
reach more people wit the truth than any minister ever
could so as Allah is my witness I started teaching the
truth and writing 4 real I always would write songs and
freestyle wit the homies but just on some hobby shit but
then I got life or death breathing a snipers breath to
quote Nas the great. Meko and me both like I said were
like twins we were so close so when I started changing
he was bugging at first till he meet Malahki and it
wasn't hard to tell ;0) So you Luv Allah was a
dedication to LA as a city but also in conjunction with
the teachings of the Nation as in loving self, or loving
God.

We Got It: ft FreeMurda This was
FreeMurda coming in and blessing us wit that hood fly
Fort Green shit and me and Meko being the bosses that we
are wit the fly whips and trix speaking on it ya dig.
Real fun song mathematics killed it!
-
Skit: Calvin Kooler was RZA the
GREAT's idea as far as that was my homeboy Klien Wu and
Bobby renamed him Calvin Kooler, he was or is rather
this Irish cat from Jeryz who was my first real real fan
who I met in Miami and just kept down wit me like a
third member of Northstar. He was gonna be on the album
on some RZA The GREAT presents Northstar & Calvin Kooler
until he got indicted for a double murder and got
sentenced to death. (Shout out to the family members
that lost lives in the tragedy and to him also) we never
really knew what happen till he came out to Vegas were
Meko was living at the time and the feds bust in on him
and his family for son right after I left back to Cali.
I created all skits.
-
Red Rum: ft Mikey Jarret, ShaCronz, &
Sho Shot Mikey Jarret going in and doing what he do!
wit my man ShaCronz, Sho Shot and RZA The Great on the
track. The title is self explanatory murder! Masta Killa
had a verse recorded for this song but we never got to
hear it, but we had stayed up in the flat o tel and off
all up and through New York off they dime a month too
long.
-
Skit: Keeping wit the Calvin Kooler
theme I created. The story line is of this wild white
homie that hung wit black cats and was murderous off of a
simple cooler (I really got homies like that which made
it eazy to envision and put down on the skit).
-
Crazy: ft. Tonebone, Midnight & Shoshot
Crazy was recorded in Cali wit me and Meko,
Midnight, Tonebone, and Sho Shot. these are some of our
gangster ass homeboys from the hood that happen to be
hella talented! I was doing pcp at the time like never
before, I mean I did it back in the day but mixed wit a
little bit of fame!!!Boi! Shit was crazy loc ha ha ha!
-
Nuttin': ft. Dom Pachino & 9th
Prince Nuttin was me banging! the
young homie Meko riding wit me like we always for
truth!!! And my little big homies (cuzz they younger
than me yet still my OG's as far as Wu go) 9th and Dom
Pachino bangin' out with us, Kinetic 9 was also there but
didn't drop a verse. Once again boi! Armand killed that
mutherfucka 4real. Armand Van Helden produced 2
songs on this project, we never actually met him, Choco
who is like one of the most famous engineers in the
world and good friend of the Clan and ours knew him and
he actually asked Choco to play some beats for us and
what we heard we could use and for the love of Wu with
no charge just spell his name right and that was super
peace, later on we found out he was more famous than
God.

Skit: You already know, you already
know!!
-
See Me: ft. RZA, Freemurder
Just shouting out real live Cali spots that
help make me and Meko Northstar, RZA The GREAT murdered it
one of my fav tracks of all time very personal to me.
-
64: RZA the GREAT killed it again,
all praises due. Yet due to misunderstanding of what was
being released I kicked a used verse, it still is classic
though Meko killed it like he always do!!!!!!
-
So So Serious: ft. Trife Da God
& Krymelife Trife Diesel and Klein from
TMF, my Staten Island gangster ass homies came through and shut shit down in
Manhattan for
me and Meek. Shout out to Trife, Hawk and Kryme.
-
Duckie: One word Mathematics!!!!!! Boi
my fav on the track we told the truth and honestly the
song really saved my life, word!!
-
Ballin': ft. Solomon Childs & Suga Bang
Bang These brothaz Suga and Solomon
Childs leaped outta their skin for us on that
shit a major LBC hood classic. D.R. Period did that and
it was going to be the first single but somebody hated on
it on the label so we had to change the beat. Still a
dope track though.
-
Destiny: ft. Kinetic
This song for me is a true story, word, Kinetic 9 came through and blessed us wit
that fly guy shit and Meko killed it again!!!!!!
-
Black knights of the Northstar: ft.
Black Knights Doc Doom rip,
Skarekrow.....saved our careers on this shit period.
Superhuman Cali classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shout out to Crisis, Warcloud and Monk. When this
song was done we had split as far as Black Knights and
Northstar for some time then so RZA THE GREAT would book
sessions for the both groups at the same spot but
different days. This one particular session we came in
(me, Meko, Midnight, Skarekrow, and Warcloud) Doc, Monk
and Crisis was in a session, it boiled down to the
fact they had a guest appearance on the album so they
had only our day open for the bigger name to rock. mind
you when I left the group and Meko left wit me we left
behind the name Black Knights which RZA THE GREAT and
all of us were working with then to promote as or brand
so the Knights automatically were up first and we were
forced to play the back burner till that name came out
and paved the way, and that was just an example of what
it was. meanwhile they was wrapping it up so we fell back
for a sec and commenced to hooking up with krow and
getting ready to rock. mind you Meko fucked wit Krow more
than me back then, I mean I fucked wit Krow but not like
Meko ya
dig? so this was the first time I'm hearing his tracks
I
had only really known Krow for his emceeing he started
before me on some hip hop shit. yet when he through that
shit on it was like boi!!!and I immediately was hungry
like the wolf after the feedback and success of that
Ghost Dog shit so when I jumped on it, it was like one
hand wash the other and both hands wash the face ya
dig? Doc heard it, Sun was like yo I wanna jump
on that shit and came wit the blessing on the shit ever
since he was a young mustach son had them hooks and I
was just like yo yall lets get the band back together on
this track since the gang is all here!!! Everybody
actually got on it, from holocaust, Crisis, Monk and
Meko and bam!! next thing I know Bobby was
like some cats over in Europe wanna give you a solo deal
for $100,000 long I was like yo what else I got going?
let's do it!!! (of course we both ended up opting out)
I'm at the crib which at the time we all shared, we called
it the honeycomb that RZA THE GREAT had got for us on the
north side of Long Beach were we had heavy traffic all
day and one of the homies come in like yo, you
killed that shit "Simply Ludicrous" I'm like what you what you
talking bout? He like I just bought that shit at the mall
I think it was Sam Goody or Warehouse (you know
back when record stores exist)? and I was like homie
you tripping the dude was like nigga I will get the CD out
the car and sho nuff boi!!! and the rest is history. So
in that way Skarekrow kinda came through and played Boby
for me and Meko when Bobby stayed wit his first
obligation the Black Knights and gave me and Meko legs
to stand on or wheels what ever have you we recorded the
song at Track records in Hollywood.
