Blending jazz-inflected beats, spiritual insight, and fiercely independent production, the\u003cbr\u003ealbum became an anthem for self-reliance and creative rebellion. Now reissued by Rhymesayers Entertainment as a deluxe 2xLP set with a lyric booklet and bonus track, this long-unavailable classic returns for a new generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the cultural core of the record is Project Blowed, a legendary L.A. crew founded by Abstract Rude and Aceyalone, which birthed a lineage of rap innovators whose fingerprints are still felt in global hip-hop. While mainstream rap embraced the West Coast’s G-funk boom, the Blowed crew forged an alternate path—steeped in jazz, radical politics, and Afrocentric futurism. Thynk Taynk stands as a richly layered time capsule from this revolutionary moment, pairing Ab Rude’s deep lyricism with Fat Jack’s genre-melding approach to production, creating a poetic reflection on family, struggle, and artistic purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new edition includes the “L.A. Styles Back (Project Blowed Remix)” featuring a cross-generational lineup of heavyweights— Aceyalone, Myka 9, Medusa, Pigeon John, Blu, 2Mex, Ellay Khule, Riddlore, and NGAFSH—underscoring how L.A.’s underground has remained a creative epicenter for decades. South Central Thynk Taynk is more than a cult artifact; it’s a living document of transformation, community, and artistic power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e01 : Explanation\u003cbr\u003e02 : Hits Like Hank\u003cbr\u003e03 : Renaissance (While We)\u003cbr\u003e04 : Them That’s Got\u003cbr\u003e05 : Through These Streets\u003cbr\u003e06 : A.T.U.
