The song:

"Dead Ones" features the brass and guitar funk-punk of the legendary Fishbone. For this remix of this track, Lifesavas producer/emcee Jumbo copped a verse from the Nas track "Hope" off of Hip Hop is Dead.

The background:

Jumbo, Vursatyl, and Chief Xcel, collectively known as Lifesavas, bring a signature style of underground hip-hop characterized by funky soul beats, classic team-based rhyming, and high energy performance.  Hailing from Portland, Oregon, they took time out of their sold-out world touring schedule to record their sophomore album, Gutterfly: The Original Soundtrack.

Inspired heavily by the 70's blaxploitation film genre, the group joins DJ Shines in adopting characters culled from the decades-abandoned film of the same name.  This "original soundtrack" acts as more of an unofficial retrospective.  Set in fictional Razorblade City, Lifesavas use the characters and setting to relate ideas both personal and social.  The result is a time capsule for an era of urban culture whose time has come and gone, but still holds relevance today.
