One year ago one of my favorite rappers of all time passed away. That morning a year ago when I woke up I reflected on how the dude’s career and artisanship had impacted me as an artist, as a kid, as a fan of not just his but of all music. I’m truly thankful for his contribution to my life, straight up.
During the Redbull 3 Style event at Southpaw last year I was joined on stage by my homeboy the legendary Greg Nice. We did a completely impromptu tribute set to the late great Guru for the crowd, which I all had forgotten until someone posted this video up on the Twitterverse last night. Hope you enjoy it
My home-skillet 4th Pyramid, Canada’s finest and my partner in all things Sheen Bros, is set to release his brand new solo album “The Pyramid Scheme” in spring of 2011 and here’s the lead-off single featuring the one and only Greg Nice and myself, Cosmo Baker. From the man himself:
“You’re invited to check out the lead single “It’s So Hot” off 4th Pyramid’s upcoming solo album The Pyramid Scheme. Feel free to post it on your blog and share with your readers. Your feedback & support is truly appreciated.
The song features Pyramid’s vocals & production alongside fun-times Capitan, Greg Nice of the legendary Nice & Smooth, and P’s Sheen Bros compadre Cosmo Baker on the cuts. It’s a prime time party record that’ll leave dudes sweaty and girls ready.
This Spring 2011, bear witness to the debut solo album by your favorite globetrotting MC: 4th Pyramid. You know he’s been making magic with hip-hop’s elite for years, but now he’s about to perform his greatest feat to date: The Pyramid Scheme.

Buy into it and get rich quick with sure-thing guests and production by Greg Nice, Saukrates, Cosmo Baker, Sheen Bros, Marco Polo, Rich Kidd, Simahlak, Showtyme and more.
