█░█ As a college deejay on KZSU for some years in the █░█
█░█ early to 1990Æs, Dopestyle was able to scratch █░█
█░█ his musical itch and venture into other genres █░█
█░█ outside of Hip-Hip & created The Dopestyle █░█
█░█ Memorial Peyote Turquoise & Ambrosia Show, a █░█
█░█ radio show that encompassed a meshing & openness █░█
█░█ to incorporating various musical styles & genres. █░█
█░█ It would be during his tenure as a deejay that █░█
█░█ Dopestyle would meet future collaborators Peanut █░█
█░█ Butter Wolf & Kutmasta Kurt. Meeting Peanut █░█
█░█ Butter Wolf initially from him calling in to █░█
█░█ DopestyleÆs radio show during a live one-hour rap █░█
█░█ freestyle broadcast, in which Peanut Butter Wolf █░█
█░█ expressed his fondness for DopestyleÆs freestyle █░█
█░█ abilities. That phone call & subsequent later █░█
█░█ conversations would eventually result in the █░█
█░█ song, ôRapperÆs Delight II,ö a track released in █░█
█░█ 1996 as a part of Stone ThrowÆs now considered █░█
█░█ classic & out-of-print release, first release, █░█
█░█ ôStep On Our Egos,ö a compilation showcasing the █░█
█░█ talents of Bay Area emcees such as Encore, █░█
█░█ Charizma, Dave Dub & others. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Sometime earlier as a college radio intern at █░█
█░█ KZSU for The Drum Show (longest consecutively █░█
█░█ running Hip Hop show in the world) hosted by █░█
█░█ Kevvy Kev, Dopestyle would meet future mentor & █░█
█░█ friend, Kutmasta Kurt (producer of classic Kool █░█
█░█ Keith albums-ôSex Styles,ö ôDr. Dooom,ö ôMasters █░█
█░█ of Illusionö w/ Motion Man, ôDiesel Truckersö as █░█
█░█ well as being well known and recognized for his █░█
█░█ remixes for various groups such as The Beastie █░█
█░█ Boys, Buju Banton, Dilated Peoples & Linkin Park █░█
█░█ to only name a few, as well as a record label █░█
█░█ owneràThreshold Recordings). Their mutual █░█
█░█ appreciation for each others unique musical █░█
█░█ talents would lead to the release of ôKutmasta █░█
█░█ Kurt Presents Dopestyle 1231ö on Waxploitation █░█
█░█ (management home for Danger Mouse & label home █░█
█░█ for artists such as the Alkaholiks, █░█
█░█ Tweaker-guitarist for NIN, etc.) Records in 2004. █░█
█░█ Executive-produced by Kutmasta Kurt, the album █░█
█░█ featured cameos from Del the Funkyhomosapien, █░█
█░█ Kool Keith, Cannibal Ox, & Motion Man & was █░█
█░█ produced in its entirety by Tom3 (producer of █░█
█░█ recent Kool Keith collabo project, Project █░█
█░█ Polaroid). █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ CMJ described the album as,öIf Massive Attack █░█
█░█ focused more on lyrics and the ôhopö part of █░█
█░█ their triphop sonic gumbo, it might sound like █░█
█░█ the claustrophobic cyphers on the debut album by █░█
█░█ Dopestyle 1231.ö In X8LR, the magazine writes, █░█
█░█ ôDopestyle who sounds at times like a demented █░█
█░█ Gift of Gab as ôdemented gift of gab.ö (see █░█
█░█ Blackalicious). █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Shortly after the release of that album, while █░█
█░█ shopping at Amoeba records in San Francisco, █░█
█░█ Dopestyle would meet Jason Chavez aka Deejay 4AM, █░█
█░█ (member of the indie rock band Black Fiction that █░█
█░█ in 2006 would be voted by SF WEEKLY as æIndie █░█
█░█ rock band of the yearÆ & The Fader magazine █░█
█░█ described Black Fiction as, ô"Black Fiction stews █░█
█░█ up swamp thing sonics and scarecrow soul to make █░█
█░█ some seriously eerie music'), who worked there in █░█
█░█ the Hip Hop department. Having worked many years █░█
█░█ in RasputinÆs Records and the now defunct Tower █░█
█░█ Records, the two guys hit it off very well. █░█
█░█ Their common interest in creating music that █░█
█░█ transcends a single genre category tab in a █░█
█░█ record store has brought them together to create █░█
█░█ 2 unique & genre-bending unreleased albums. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ The first album, ôFOOLÆS POOLö was recorded █░█
█░█ initially in 2005 during a ædark cloudÆ of sorts █░█
█░█ for both individuals. The album features cameos █░█
█░█ by Motion Man & Fathed. The second later album, █░█
█░█ ôTHE LITTLE HAPPYö features cameos by Opio f/ █░█
█░█ Souls of Mischief/Hieroglyphics & Pro The Leader. █░█
█░█ Fortunately, both albums will see a 2007 release █░█
█░█ as a double-CD on Daly City Records. Currently & █░█
█░█ at any given time, Dopestyle is working 5 █░█
█░█ separate projects, which range from Death Metal, █░█
█░█ Hip Hop, producing Ambient & instrumental suites, █░█
█░█ silent movies, avant-pop, etc. One of DopestyleÆs █░█
█░█ major immediate projects is Grindbender (Yoko █░█
█░█ Solo, Dopestyle, Pu22l3)àmusically decscribed as █░█
█░█ spastic/warped/audioentropy/approximating a █░█
█░█ recapitulation of CreationÆs BIGBANGTHEORY. █░█
