From Reverbnation: “Growing up in Brooklyn, New York has put Trama in a position to reach the fans of hip hop with his lyrical punch lines and well put together metaphors in his charming but gangsta-like swag. He has a group called Black Senate, which he is CEO and co founder. He currently has a distribution deal with the Warner Music Group. Trama is working on a solo album called Follow Suite, which is on Black Senate Entertainment. He currently has two mixtapes with Black Senate called The Seattle Project Vol 1 and 2. His latest solo project is called All Gas No Brakes, a mixtape featuring DOA” Apparently, Trama (James Jones) has one more album called, Honer Over Money that he has mentioned a few times and there’s this video but I’m not sure it was ever released. The Follow Suite Mixtape was on Datpiff back in the day, I’m not sure if that was considered the album referenced above or if that album did get released and I’ve just never been able to find it! The group Black Senate also has two other members, his brother D-Lo and Contajus. Finally, Trama also has a song called “I Run It” on a 2009 DJ Pheloneous Mixtape called, Something 2 Drive 2 Vol. 2. He’s also featured on a song called “Freaks Is Out” by northwest artist B-3 (B3 The Shark). Leave a comment if you know anything else about Trama!

  16. Outro

Self Tightld was from the C.D. (Central District) and the members were Maine 1, 2Elevn, Popsykle, Sikface and Rob Doe. Definitely legendary music and a must have for any music collection! All their music was released on Pointside Records. Brothers Popsykle (Arvelle Beaver) and Sikface (Lamar Beaver) eventually went on to create their own group, V.O.H.T. and continued to stay active in the Seattle music scene. For a review of Hustlin-N-Hell head over to Town Love and read Novacaine123’s write up. And if you’re feelin’ Self Tightld there’s plenty more music from the Pointside camp on 2Elevn’s Reverbnation page! Additionally, you can pick up their music on all major music platforms.
Both Problems CDM and the 12″ are on my want list. I can’t believe I missed “Problems” CDM for 75 cents on Discogs, DOH!

On a sad note, two members, Rob Doe and Popsykle have since passed, R.I.P.

I don’t remember how I ended up with this song, but leave a comment if you know anything about it or any other info on Self Tightld for that matter!
