and DJ Rhettmatic (Visionaries) to present<br />
the known classic hip-hop song format<br />

the first instrumental record on Stonesthrow<br />
Record in 1996.<br />

call transcendental hip-hop. Fanatik’s<br />
Tauheed Productions writes, ‘One God…<br />

extends from the finite to the infinite,<br />
the journey that takes all to Allah.<br />
