This Is The Life: first peak at Goodlife documentary!



I can't tell you how hype I am about the release of this movie! I remember trading grainy footage back in the day but this elevates everything to a new level. The production value (which I was a little worried about) looks excellent if the trailer is any indication.

In 1989, a collective of young artists gathered at a storefront health food cafe in South Central LA. Their mandate? To explore and expand the musical boundaries of hip hop. "This Is The Life" follows the story of the legendary Good Life Cafe and the countless talents who passed through it's doors.

Be sure to check out the soundtrack of rare tracks that Omid put together as well.

Welcome to the Good Life Cafe, where emcee specials have been served up with style and extra flavor since 1989! To own this is to own some of the earliest known freestyles, live sets and soundbites of Project Blowedians ever made available and not heard anywhere else for quite some time. Extremely rare recordings by Aceyalone, Hip Hop Klan, Mikah 9, CVE, Medusa, Abstract Rude and more! Big thanks to Rifleman for personally supplying us with this nice little bit of history and Omid for helping restore the quality! H-E-A-T!
