I noticed that there are a lot of folks looking for this particular lost gem, and I figured since I have it in it's full 320 kbps glory, I really do have to share it. Creators of the Lost Arts Crew (C.O.L.A. Crew) are / were(?) a super-group comprised of members of Rime Fytahs / Sea Serpents and their various common collaborators from the early 2000s LA underground rap scene.
This album, despite the what the name implies (a mixtape of old material) does seem to be the first official release from the group, followed by 2004's For the People by the People and 2007's C.O.L.A. 3. I'm a pretty big fan of Haewhyer (R.I.P.) and Kuaesar, their rapid fire delivery and DIY sensibilities translate to a huge quantity of dope material, music that pretty much exemplifies what truly self produced underground rap sounds like. Enjoy their earliest efforts as C.O.L.A. Crew!
