about

The recording of "Do you remember?" began in 2003 and the composition was initially planned to form part of a 3 track True Element single that never materialised. During the 2010s Kraze One & Killa Joul began working together on several music projects and recorded this version using the original backing track and arrangement. The scratches were executed by Kraze One using some of the original ideas discussed during the initial recording sessions. The interview sections contained in the recording were taken from a 2001 Radio appearance by True Element on Demon FM (Leicester) with DJ Frannie.

lyrics

[[Kraze One & Killa Joul]]
Remember back in the days when house party’s used to rock
Round the way we’d stray – straight up like 6 o’clock
It was wicked mate meet up down the boozer
Neva got any hassle because I was a geezer
Me neither I used to carry a marker
Tag the hell out the place and as it got darker
After pick up some tins from the offie
Without mobile phones word still got round the posse
At Buckingham uni crashing parties at the weekend
Pretend that we were students just to get in
Back in to town fried chicken with your chips G
Cushdie back to paxtons for a cup of tea
Easy heading back there in the morning
Yawning hook up the 1210s for recording
Makin demos dropping lyrics like no other
Back in the days just representing the borough
I remember selling tapes from a back pack on the streets
Never got in to rave music strictly funky beats
On the ghetto blaster, Kangols & Tight roles
Selling early demo tapes, rocking local live shows
Back in 1993 British hip hop was a rarity
We kept the fires burning with a scene in the community
Kraze O-N-E & Killa Joul from the school
Of old through to new keeping it true with the crew.

[[Kraze One & Killa Joul]] 
Remember hardcore hip hop like gunshot and hijack
Jordan’s, air max, and raider’s baseball caps
Rockin the flat top, tramlines, and diamond socks
British knights, troop, and pump trainers by rebook
(Non stop) I was a pure fashion victim
Any money I got my dad said I was wasting
Buying records & Tapes, hanging out on the estates
Till late tagging are names up with the spray paint
We used to get around, Travelling towns and cities
Representin at jams droppin the cuts and Lyrics
Penny on the turntable to keep the needle stable
Sound check the mics as DJs Scratch the vinyl
Back to the studio sampling beats and breaks
Digging in the crates till late for the sake of the demo tape
We used to contemplate getting signed independently
Money was always secondary to our creativity
Blimey and it happened eventually
Hip hop took the posse all over the UK
From all night house party’s to raves in the countryside
To backstreet bars squaring up to guys
There was no compromise in attitude or sound
Representing the underground cos that where we found
Our inspiration from where we started in the 90s
True Element MCs The underground artists.
