Description
Baba Israel and Yako met through DJ Center at a loft party in Brooklyn New York city. Baba was rhyming and yako got on the drums, piano, and just about every other instrument around. There was an instant musical connection and after going on national tour with DJ logic they knew that they would be making music for a long time. After a three year period of making music with DJ center they have now continued on in the great tradition of musical duos.

Old Press:
Lyrically flowing, musically innovative political hip-hop in the old-school tradition of Public Enemy and KRS-One." - Chicago Sun-Times, Sept. 21, 2001
"Baba, A true Poet" NY TIMES
"Mission District-based Wide Hive presents well-cured cuts from Brooklyn hip-hop threesome Open Thought. On "Force of Life," lush beats, bass plucks, trumpet puffs and turntablist flair serve as the funky foundation for MC Baba's life-affirming lyrics about staying focused despite the obstacles we encoutner in our day-to-day lives. The flipside track, "Cold Cut," tells an all-too familiar story about a jailed inner city youth whose only crime was being black and in the wrong place at the wrong time."
-By Bill Picutre -SF Examiner - Wed. December 10, 2003
They inspire you to continue your destiny because they are certainly finding theirs." -Derek Beres- GLOBAL RHYTHM MAGAZINE
"Possessed of one of the most pleasing voices and softest accents in hiphop ex-Metabass MC Baba has a uniquely empathic attitude to hiphop as well as impeccable freestyle and beatbox skills."
-Dale Harrison- Cyclic Defrost (Australia)
"A poet's heart with an emcee's bozak" CMJ magazine
"Flanked by a well-hued balance of programmed beats and live instrumentation, Baba encapsulates the flair for prose he's honed on the Nuyorican circuit within a formidable shell of mic skills." - Shout NY, November 2001.
"The album's hot- knowledge in the lyrics, and all the beats are on point. There are more than a handful of hot verses, and the album isn't just another cookie cutter representation, so the replay factor is high on this one."- Yellow Rat Bastard, Fall 2001.
"Baba is far from your ordinary emcee. Rather than discuss his numerous hoes in different area codes, Baba feeds our minds with mysticism. With an album this well reounded it is quite evident that Baba graduated with honors."- The Island Ear, Dec. 9, 2001.
"Here and there, in the pockets of the hip-hop scene still buried too deep to fall prey to the greedy, sharp-clawed grasp of commercial culture vultures, a slew of beatboxers, DJs and emcees are still living and breathing the true-school. [Mind Music] is one of the brightest and bravest full-length hip-hop releases in recent memory."- Silja J.A. Talvi, Gadfly, Sept. 2001.
"...a fine, socially conscious and just-released new album, Mind Music."- Time Out New York, July 12-19, 2001.
"Very cool, very laid back, very groovy, very good music."- Ken Wohlrob, Bully Magazine
