Two years ago (Feb 2015) we joined with Chris Green to
release "BREATHE". The EP contained 10 tracks entirely produced by us
and mixed by PhameOne. Here is the Kingstrumentals version.
We and Chris Green have been working together for 5
years. In that time we've released many notable singles such as
“Like Yo” and “Party Crashers”. We also have released two full
projects; “The Puzzle EP” and “The Leftovers”. Here we have joined forces again to release "BREATHE". The EP contains 10 tracks entirely
produced by us The Quarter Inch Kings, and mixed by PhameOne. The project's
production is parallel to that of the 90’s Boom Bap era, but executed
with a modern flare. The content of the material varies also from the
overly cocky “Just Know” to the very conceptual “Question My Blackness”;
in other words there is something for everyone. If you are a fan of our previous work you'll be able to appreciate the our ability to
grow, but at the same time how we've stayed true to our roots. If you’re a first
time listener and consider yourself to be a fan of hip hop this is a
guaranteed addition to your collection.
"Question My Blackness" is the second single off of the “Breathe” EP.
The record speaks to the pressures put on each other as a race to
perpetuate the stereotypical black male.

Gearing up for the final tape of the M.I.C. Series (Vol. 7) TopLeft Recordings has decided to release dj packs for some of the songs that will be featured on the tape. The first of these is Puzzle's "Not The One" and after being featured on several of the M.I.C. Series projects (Vol. 1
/ Vol. 2 / Vol. 6) he makes his fourth appearance which is produced by The Quarter Inch
Kings. Only fitting since The Quarter Inch Kings have worked with TopLeft Recordings for the entire M.I.C. series and also been long time collaborators with Puzzle (Chris Green). We've combined again to bring our distinctive
boom bap sound with Puzz's melodic flows, and punch lines to the tape. Also be
sure to download M.I.C Vol. 7 where Puzzle makes a second appearance on
the project! Not The One dj pack consists of a Street, Clean, Instrumental, and Acapella versions of the song (D/L link above). Keep a look out for M.I.C VOL 7 coming soon
