Previously: Rob Viktum Progress 2
Produced by Rob Viktum, featuring the vocal talents of Caucasian, Problem Child, Damien of The Legendary K.O., Elucid, & Bavu Blakes.
Available now on Mega Royal Records, 50% of all sales on Progress Vol 2 will be donated to a Cambodian Charity.
Now Rob Viktum returns with the follow up and a mission to do more. Using the same records, Rob has created an even greater masterpiece called Progress 2. The Cambodian samples run through this album’s veins bringing life to the instrumentals, keeping the record bumping and kicking from start to finish. Being extremely familiar with Rob’s catalog, I can personally tell you that this is some of his best work ever. You can hear the time put into each song from the samples chosen to the mix of the drums. The few guest emcees that grace the album really add something special. This isn’t the kind of album that forces you to feel a certain way but rather allows you to drift away into your own world and interpretation of the music. But it gets better. Mega Royal Records will be donating the profits of this album to help the Cambodian people who are still suffering from the atrocities committed by the Khmer Rouge. This is a great piece of music and is all for a good cause. It doesn’t get much better than this. Check out a leak track below and make sure you pick this up. We received an advance copy free but still made the purchase for the cause!

Got me reminiscing on my Track & Field days in high school, summer league & my multiple AAU Junior Olympics competitions, and University Track & Field at Rice and all the cool people (and some busters too) that I met through athletics.
One of those was Olympian Obadele Thompson, who also happened to be featured on Rappers I Know as a talented producer in an Austin, Texas based (although each member hails from Barbados and Philadelphia originally and formatively) in and emcee/producer combo group called The Scripwiz Movement with emcee Element 7D. Bavu & Rob Viktum speak highly of them, and I’m sure more fam from back in Texas do as well, although I haven’t been in as close touch as anyone would like.
So yeah, here’s my “Olympic” post. Also, a throwback to 2005 when I first started this blog and when I had more time to do this the way I wanted to. Cheers to those good times man.
Here is a snippet of a song Oba sent me back in ‘06. I didn’t post the whole joint, ’cause I don’t want him beating me down when he sees me. Plus, he run faster than me, so it’s not like I could get away if I decided to run.

P.S. My access to www.rappersiknow.com has been blocked by the day job somehow. I haven’t been able to get to my site for weeks. So updates will be slow til I get that worked out, or get the nerve to update things from home. Peace to Quartermaine from Critically Acclaimed, who I met today. Low Budget! What up Pete, what up Oddisee!
P.P.S. I need an intern at the day job for the Fall Semester. If you are enrolled in college in the NYC area, and want to intern for me at HOT 97 primarily working on HOT97.com and stuffs, holler at me at holla at rappers i know dot com.
