1988 was a milestone year for music, art, fashion, & politics. Public Enemy, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, & N.W.A. all released classic albums, Crack made it’s debut in city streets across the United States, & the Iran-Contra scandal was exposed. It was a year of creativity, exploration, enlightenment, & global revolution. On the 30th day of September in 1988, this is the day STEFisDOPE was born. Growing up in the late 80’s, early 90’s, & 2000’s, STEF is part of the millenial generation that transitioned into the internet & social media age. From analog to digital. This album “1988” is an audio expression from a 26-year old Black male perspective, covering a range of topics from politics, race, love, sex, revolution, & the hustle it takes to survive in the modern world. It’s a 9-song project that began production in 2012. With the album’s sole production from Suede Moccasins, the vibe is a blend of nostalgia fortified with modern drums & 808s along with STEF’s witty wordplay & lyricism. Take a trip down memory lane & find out why STEF’s been DOPE SINCE ‘88.

This is The Ultra Velvet EP, the follow up to Me & BAZE’s critically acclaimed project, “The Black Velvet EP”. This project is an homage to old 70’s Blaxploitation flicks, Revolutionaries, Fly women as well as a trip through my life, my mind, & the things I think about. BAZE produced every track, I wrote all the rhymes, except for the 2nd verse on “Wood Grain” which features none other than the homie BAZE himself. Hope you dig it. If you do, spread the word. Peace. All tracks written by STEFisDOPE. All tracks produced by BAZE. All tracks Mixed & Mastered by: Wise for Depth Charge Studios Album Art by: SHAHKA Executive Produced by: STEFisDOPE & Gregory Grant
