Delinquent Monastery - Brain Frees Creative

 

Today's post is from Bay Area trio Delinquent Monastery and their 2004 release "Brain Frees Creative." 

Delinquent Monastery, aka DelMon Crew, consisted (consists?) of Oakland rappers Lush One, Plex Rock, and Ajaxx. They had deep connects to both the hyphy scene and the Living Legends-esque backpack scene, in addition to the wider underground overall. They, particularly Lush One, rose to prominence with the rise of battle rap and Grind Time (which recently made a return.) Lush still makes music on his own and with various collectives and is still close friends with Plex and Ajaxx, but I'm not sure if the trio has any plans to make music together in the future. 

I know next to nothing about "Brain Frees Creative." It looks like a potential sampler or mixtape, but I can't seem to find much info on it. The music itself is dope though!
