The BodySnatchers !




I like unreleased demos and I'm glad people are still sharing rare gems from their vaults online. We can thank Trekan for these unreleased materials from the Silent Ones Family ... some very good stuff from his crib recorded in 1993-1994 by a group hailing from the Bronx named The BodySnatchers. The crew consisted of Ptah, Prop, J Sample and QuickBone. 



"We came to this Planet a little over 7000 years ago. 
We hit the soil and pushed deep into the earth on the east, in a part of the planet that later became known as The Bronx, New York.
A rumbling ground breaking sound coming from the Speakers of A King called Disco Mario in Bronxdale projects unearthed the pods and awoken a situation bound to take over the ears of all humanity. And in 1973, The invasion began. 
A creature calling itself Ptah created a Path built on 808 kicks and James Brown loops that would cause the people in the area to submit undeniable vocal frequencies.
The Primary Prop would then surf  the audio arrangements vocally taking over the thoughts of the population.  This caused the take over to grow 2 arms that would Cut, Scratch, and Dig into the Body and Bones of the people. 
Left  Arm, J Sample would cut deep into the Body and memories of mankind, and Right Arm Quick Bone would scratch his way into the Bones and thoughts of all who caught contact.
Our Mentor and Ship’s Captain and Director Trekan would distribute the captured frequencies world wide to make sure we would dominate musically." - Courtesy of Ptah

The BodySnatchers were also known under the name of Funky Edition. The only difference with the BodySnatchas is Trekan produced on some of their records and Pitch Black rhymed on a lot of the songs. Also the name change from Funky Edition to Tha BodySnatchers came after the group changed their sound to make it more "Street". 








Mad Props to my man Trekan and the Silent 1z
