G3N0C1D3 by Gen-3

 

This is Volume 2 of the Gen-Trilogy, and as always, it will be released only to those who care to listen, so it will be ultra-limited. The shelved version may or may not appear at some point. Welcome to Gen-3

The project started with the concept of having a group to rival my other projects like Chessmen with The Black Knights and then Illuminati Network with Solomon Childs, Dexter Wiggle and Napoleon, but this time I removed myself from the production duties and let another producer provide the beats for the entire project.

In the tradition of all my projects being structured around a trilogy (Knowledge, Wisdom & Understanding), I teamed up with Holy Smokes and a producer from Spain to work on Gen3. The project came to a halt for reasons I won't go into, but by that time we had already completed a full album and were working on the second installment, complications led to Smokes and I moving forward without the Spanish producer.

The ReBirth Generation 3!

Title inspired by the Marvel superhero group Generation X, they say things happen for a reason, the end of the Gen3 project inspired another idea, the album was originally going to be called Brotherhood of the Wulf, Brotherhood (collabs with people I have worked with over the years) with a producer, an engineer to mix it and another to master it, of the Wulf (keeping it all within the Wu) this time while still keeping it as a trinity. BOTW was bigger than Gen-3, so I went back to the original idea and reworked the Gen3 project to fit that evolution. The finished album was reworked into a better and more cohesive project with a darker and more rounded feel than its original intent. Every contribution that came through Smokes and myself was used on the project, but the features, sound and ideas that the Spanish producer brought to the table were all changed.
