By now most of you know how Seamrock was conceived, well for those who do not ,the group was a result of a bunch of friends who started making beats at varsity. There were only two other people making beats on campus at that time beside seamrock, and I believe saying that the beat making culture was at its infancy would be a gross overstatement. To cut a long story short when Cymtom returned to varsity 5years later he found a vibrant scene,a very different scene from what he’d known in the previous years. Among the many cliques that now existed and were passionate about certain elements of hip hop, there was a production outfit called library production, a skilled breed of beat makers that left Cymtom drooling over beats they made. Right there and then a beat tape that would be a collab between Cymton and the outfit was planned. Hence the title Reconnection; Cymtom meets the library. A brief overview will show that Library Productions is a collective of rappers and beatmakers and in this particular project only the latter participate. The tape kicks off with “the triumphant entry” an intro by Cymtom , then the very gifted Raymo steps in with “linguistic tongues” , a beat to a track on Rapper Isoceles ‘ EP. A collab between Aurakle and Cymtom follows . The tracks succeed each other in such a way that a seamrock beat is followed by a Library beat. Revival and K10’s 2008 number “back in 08” are some of those beats Cymtom still finds close his heart up to this day. The Library boys manage to blend in with their predominantly soulful sounds with beats like “Kept in the Journals” and “Solidified rocks”. While Dreamer captures the influence of synth heavy music we hear these days, Low rider is simply west coast hip hop influenced. Boom Slang rolls down our curtains with “Move on” . Download here
