all digital stores. The CD version of the album is now available in 2020.
Kazi says: "We recorded this album in the wee hours at CDP studios back in ‘96. It was pretty much me, Madlib and
Declaime in the lab when this album was recorded. I learned so much from Lib, cadence, rhyme patterns, timing and how
to dig for records. What some people don’t know is this cat actually took the time to show me how to make beats. I must
say working with Lib was an amazing experience. The “Blackmarket Seminar” is a very raw and dark album. We came up
with “Black Market” because at the time we were doing Hip Hop that nobody else was doing and to us you could only get
it on the “Black Market”. When you first play the album you’ll hear characters on a skit in search of the black market
seminar. We really tried to make it seem like the characters were outside walking around looking for it."
