THE DRAGON LODGE

THE DRAGON LODGE WAS AN IDEA SPARKED FROM THE MIND OF TEK XXX.WE USED TO GET OUR MINDS RIGHT IN OUR GARAGE ON 125 AND HARVARD ON THE WEST SIDE OF LOS ANGELES.THERE WE WOULD WRITE RHYMES,FREESTYLE,RECORD,DRINK,SMOKE AND JUST DROWN OURSELVES IN HIP HOP.KAOTICAL SUNN,FORMALLY KNOWN AS KILLA KAOS LIVED RIGHT DOWN THE STREET AND UNKUT FORMALLY KNOWN AS FILTHY LIVED ACROSS THE STREET.WE WOULD HAVE LATE NIGHT SESSIONS CREATING UNDERGROUND CLASSICS,LISTENING TO THE LATEST HIP HOP AND EVEN SOUL JOINTS.THE DRAGON LODGE REPRESENTS THE FIRE AND UNITY NOT FOUND IN TODAYS "RAP" SCENE.DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN YOU FIRST HEARD RAEKWONS ONLY BUILT 4 CUBAN LINX?OR WHAT ABOUT CMW'S WE COME STRAPPED?FROM EAST COAST TO WEST COAST HIP HOP,IF IT WAS DOPE WE WAS PLAYING IT.SOME OF THE ILLEST JOINTS CAME FROM THE LODGE WITHOUT ANY HIGH TECH. EQUIPTMENT,JUST A TAPE OF INSTRUMENTALS AND A KARAOKE PLAYER FOR REAL.IMAGINE WALKING IN A SMOKE FILLED GARAGE WITH A BLACK LIGHT ON,BROKEN TAPES ON THE GROUND,EMPTY LIQUOR BOTTLES SCATTERED,BLUNT DROPPINGS EVERYWHERE! THAT IS THE DRAGON LODGE...
