Rap group
On a hot evening in September 2004, I had a conversation with 7L, the producer & DJ behind 7L & Esoteric. We discussed the new album, production, labels, and even their beef with Vast Aire. While their connection to the underground continues to flourish, 7L & Esoteric will continue to survive in this dangerous world of hip-hop. Dangerous Connection 7L & Esoteric Hip-Hop/Rap 2002 Preview SONG TIME One Six. 0:53 PREVIEW Watch Me. 3:54 PREVIEW Warning - Knife In the Face. Dangerous Connection. 1992, Boston, MA, United States. 7L (producer), Esoteric (emcee) Related Artists. Army of the Pharaohs, Czarface, The. When listening to “Dangerous Connection,” one suspects that Esoteric is himself the kind of open-minded backpacker who can be found rocking a variety of joints himself and drawing his inspiration from his contemporaries.
As part of Boston’s underground hip hop scene, deejay/producer 7L and rapper Esoteric have been creating thought-provoking lyrics and atypical beats since 1992; they stood out partly because they were one of the few white rap groups gaining any type of prominence at the time. The rap duo has released several CDs and singles that have kept fans wanting more. They have toured consistently around the United States, Canada, and Europe, where they are given celebrity status.Met Through Radio Show
Rapper Esoteric was a radio deejay at Salem State College in Salem, Massachusetts. He had his own hip hop show, and deejay 7L would call in to make requests for songs that were considered seminal to the rap genre, but were not very popular. Both had a love of old-school rap from the late 1980s, and sometimes Esoteric would freestyle during his show. 7L thought the two should collaborate, and they have been partners since then.
7L & Esoteric first called themselves God Complex, and they released a single that became a modest hit in the Boston area. Though rap music was more prominent on the East and West Coasts of the United States, many of the main cities and metropolitan areas did have burgeoning underground rap scenes. Radio play was not a guarantee, but word-of-mouth and the borrowing of cassettes helped spread the word for those whose records were deemed worthy to be passed around. For 7L & Esoteric, word did spread, and soon other cities heard their debut, including Los Angeles, New York. The two followed with the LP release Rebel Alliance. Next came opportunities to perform live, and the group built a fan base.Released First Effort
More releases followed, and the duo changed their name from God Complex to 7L & Esoteric. They became known for their complex, battle-ready lyrics, combined with original beats and samples from the most unlikely places. In an interview with Chris Faraone of the Boston Herald the duo claimed: ’Our goal first and foremost has always been to release the type of music that we want to release when we want to release it without any questions. We just have a lot of fun making it.’ While many sampled either James Brown or George Clinton and Parliament (or Funkadelic), deejay 7L chose the cartoon Transformers’s theme music as his sample for the single ’Be Alert,’ which became a classic in the Boston area. They also released the single ’Protocol.’
7L & Esoteric continued touring, helping to place the Boston rap scene on the map. With stops in Canada, Europe, New York City, and Philadelphia, the duo continued entertaining their fans and reaching new ones. In fact, they had more fans in Europe than in the United States. 7L told Faraone, ’We did a festival in the Czech Republic where there were 10 to 15,000 people there, and we were the headlining act.’ Esoteric stated in the same interview, ’People over there are much more receptive. People over here are starting to get the idea, but in Europe it’s a completely different animal.’ The EP release Speaking Real Words (1999) was soon followed by their debut release on the Direct label, The Soul Purpose (2001). The CD sold over 20,000 copies and was reissued in 2006, a feat unheard of for an underground record. Not completely satisfied with the final product, 7L & Esoteric moved to Brick Records, where they released Dangerous Connection in 2002.Worked on Various Projects
Thought of as premier artists and pioneers in Boston, 7L & Esoteric received some attention from other major players in the rap industry, and began opening for a number of acts including Rakim, Redman, and Bahamadia. They signed with the Babygrande label during this time, releasing DC2: Bars of Death in 2004. In addition to releasing their own work, the duo collaborated either jointly or separately with several local Boston and Philadelphia rappers and groups including Virtuoso, Mr. Lif, Celph Titled, and Apathy. They were also part of the supergroup Army of the Pharoahs and have collaborated on several CDs with fellow members Virtuoso, Vinnie Paz, Celph Titled, Outerspace, and King Syze.
Despite gaining new success and performing in various clubs, stages, and arenas around the world, 7L & Esoteric began to feel burned out. They switched gears and traded in battle rhymes for more entertaining dance tracks with their 2006 release A New Dope. While some fans were alarmed, most were happy with the new disc. Esoteric spoke about the new direction with Justin Rizzio of the 215hiphop Web site: ’With creative risks, there’s gonna be people that want the old version. But people grow up just as artists do.’ 7L also told Rizzio, ’I just wanted to do something different and I think when we started working on it, with some different aspects, it was just fun. That’s something I haven’t had in a while with music.’ The CD also included work with rapper Kool Keith of the rap group Ultramagnetic MCs, who happened to be a favorite of the two. In addition to working on 7L & Esoteric CDs, 7L has also been a sought-after producer in the Boston area. He has worked with groups Mobb Deep, Main Flow, and World Wrestling Entertainment wrestler John Cena. Esoteric released a solo CD, EgoClapper, on his own record label, Fly Casual Collective, but the two plan to continue to work together in the future.For the Record …

“Backpack? – Wack flow.” That’s Esoteric’s response to a little psychological quiz during the song “Word Association.” The irony though is that the very backpackers he decries may be the perfect audience for his new album.
Despite all the negative press that has been given to the term, a true backpacker is an open-minded hip-hop fan who might be as likely to have Redman’s “Malpractice” as Aceyalone’s “A Book of Human Language” tucked away next to the potato chips, CD player and can of soda or other beverage. The derisive meaning of the word has come to imply suburbanites that enjoy overly wordy rappers with whack beats, and push off said same rappers as being “elite” while derisively looking down their noses at everything from old school classics to the latest top 10.
When listening to “Dangerous Connection,” one suspects that Esoteric is himself the kind of open-minded backpacker who can be found rocking a variety of joints himself and drawing his inspiration from his contemporaries. Some less open-minded rap fans, the same who sneer at all “backpackers” regardless of what flavor of the form they might be, would probably turn up their noses at Esoteric. Despite the fact that 7L is one of the best producers and DJ’s in underground rap, and Esoteric slips from humerous punchline MC to thought-provoking verbalist with surprising ease, they would say with disdain that “he’s alright but he’s not real.” Why? Well if ever a dope rapper was to sound like the “white man from town,” it would be Es.
In 2002, those distinctions really shouldn’t matter. Esoteric proudly reps his home turf of Boston, Mass and sounds it too. If you can’t get over that fact, “Dangerous Connection” is not the album for you. Anybody who’s been down with Esoteric since his “Speaking Real Words” duet with Inspectah Deck though knows that no matter how white he sounds, Esoteric takes his craft just as seriously as Eminem. Actually, it’s possible he takes it MORE seriously; since Esoteric isn’t purposefully shocking to reach a larger audience. In fact, with guest appearances by the likes of Apathy, Count Bass D, J-Live and Vinnie Paz, Esoteric is clearly aiming for a listening base that might be called “backpackers” themselves; while in actuality they could simply be said to be heads who appreciate great MC’s and great beats no matter their background. Esoteric seems painfully aware of the irony of his independent label status though, as the song “Rest in Peace” proves:Dangerous Connection 7l Esoteric Ignition
“Now as I look down, it’s kinda tough swallowin the fact that I’m a dead rapper with a cult followin Legions of fans got their hands on my old jams And new fans, they were sayin “Oh damn!” at every punchline, and now the rumors break and hit Cause everybody knew that I was workin on some new shit Cats askin, “Who’s on it? Who produced it?” Straight up, just ask deceased, let the man {“rest in peace”} […] Although I’m dead mom, my soul remains undaunted Now you can actually afford the things you wish you flaunted And even though every studio will be haunted I finally got the major label budget that I wanted”7l Esoteric Dangerous Connection
7L & Esoteric prove themselves time and again over a wide range of impressive tracks. “Watch Me” has a piano loop that even DJ Premier would get hot for, and the Ghostface Killah sample in the hook is wickedly appropriate for Esoteric’s tough braggadocio. “Terrorist’s Cell” is an eerie track about the events of September 11th, 2001; and Stoupe’s beat is sure to send a chill down your spine. The aforementioned “Word Association” is a raucous boom bap beat that bashes you over the head as Esoteric becomes a candidate for the funny farm. Speaking of mental MC’s, both the sublime Rakim and the loopy Kool Keith can be found scratched into “What I Mean”; Eso’s duet with Beyonder.Dangerous Connection 7l Esoteric Definition
Since this album is only 14 tracks and 46 minutes long, you’re left hungering for more by the time the CD is finished. At least, you are if you’re a “backpacker.” Wack flow? Hell no. Just because he sounds white to even the most color-blind of people doesn’t mean his breath control, timing, dexterity and vocal pitch aren’t precisely honed by both sheer ability and years of paying dues. Maybe there are a few backpackers in the hip-hop scene who can’t rap a lick, but if Esoteric was found in their cypher he would be the one humiliating them and at the same time encouraging them to improve their craft. The slamming beats on “Dangerous Connection” should win over any doubting Thomas, but those who still sleep on Esoteric thinking he’s the same kind of elitist arrogant backpacker that he despises will have to live with missing out on dope shit.
