Wordz From The Man Himself
"PEACE AND BLESSINGS...
YO I just want to thank you cats for taking such a interest in my music,
it really means alot to me....
as far as aliases they are
5 ELEMENT NINJA,
LORDS OF DA LO-FI,
GODZ OF WUTANG,
MAZINGA Z,
BILLY MITCHELL,
JIM KELLY,
BRUCE LI......
ALL THE OTHERS
BOLO,
CASSANOVA WONG,
TUXEDO,
ARE MY HOMIES,
THE REST ARE IMPOSTERS LOL....
thank you for taking time to check out my lo-budget joints...." [2013]
The first time you picked up your SP-404.....
"My friend of mine had the sp-202 and he would let me borrow it, So I knew that the 404 would be similar.
I bought my 404 for the efx cause I already had a mpc1000.
I made a couple of beats on it but I wasnt really feelin it I was usin it more for the efx for my mp.
I liked the mp but I never really liked the sound that i got out of it,
Plus I was reading alot of interviews about madlib just usin the 303.
So that inspired me and I think thats when i decided to make BEATJITZU vol1 only usin the 404!
Since I finished that project the 404 has changed me!
I still like the mp but on the real I like the 404 and what I do with it so much more!
I just got a new turntable and have hooked it up to the 404 for the first time and damm man vinyl sounds so good on the 404!" [2007]
"When I 1st started makin beats I had the yamaha djx keyboard a digital 4 track and my roommate had a sp-202 that I would use all the time! [...]
The 202 is a great machine!
Funny how I went from the 202 to reason to mpc1000 and back home to the sp-404 or sp-series!"

Few word about this release :
Most of you know the story but long story short we felt obligated to show some context.
LB came to Deadly Elegance asking ( again ) for a collabo.
He proposed him that concept.
Deadly Elegance accepted it.
LB also decided for the title of this release.
After tapes were ordered , paid , manufactured , dubbed and artwork was ready,
LB stepped back out of nowhere and for absolutely no reason.
This time though we re releasing the tape.
Price is exactly the amount each tape costs to us including all fees and operating expenses.
Noone will have the slightest amount of profit from this release.
TDT will never bother again with LB.
Kapre ain't pardonin'. Never.

Lord Beatjitzu - Wu-Tang Gadgetry
Asgard Records, October 14th 2020
Lord Beatjitzu's first official release on tape saw light in 03/11/2016,
it was under his "Bruce Li" alias, album title was "Wu-Tang Disciples aka Sunz of Wu-Tang"
and it was released in collaboration with Asgard Records,
since then we put together more than a dozen beat tapes under his different aliases,
always keeping quality as a priority and always trying to give you the best tapes you could find out there,
some of those tapes were even double tapes meaning you got 2 albums in a single cassette,
others were designed to have reversible artwork,
some even full body printed cassette shells and a couple were released just at cost,
meaning we really did it for the culture!
Lord Beatjitzu and us (Asgard Recods family) feel extremely satisfied with the work we put together
and also feel extremely grateful for the support we had received over the years,
we believed on tape and we still doing it today and it is a pleasure to see there is still a lot of people buying and supporting indie artist like us.
Lord Beatjitzu asked me to let you all know this will be his LAST AND FINAL beat tape,
yes, sad news but it is real folks! this is his last beat tape ever
and we thought just as his first release saw light in yellow and purple shells,
his last and final tape should go full circle and return to the same colors so here you go, make sure to grab one or two,
this as just every other of his tapes released under Asgard Records will be a collectible piece that will just increase in value over the years!
stay safe, thanks once again for the support and stay safe!
Vingthor.

Few things to note here: The ones which are bolded above are previously unreleased material.
-> From the tape rip I've heard of the b-side of #7 it differs to the 2014 mixtape version but once I have the tape myself in my collection I'll be able to confirm. Dope beats still.
-> Some of these also do contain bonus beats: namely the a-side of #12 (two of which have been released before) and a few new beats on the b-side of #14.
-> The reissue of the few tracks he did as Dong Kong for "Senju Glitch Chronicles Vol. 1 & Vol. 2" (2017) hasn't been included.
-> The teaser for #9 does appear on the tape only compilation "Summer Special" (2018) but I've not included it as it's basically just one beat.
-> #4 in this list is actually a cassette repackage of the "Rap Beatz Vol 1" tape, which was also released with different artwork as "Tiger Skin Robez" a day later. All of the songs from the "Tiger Skin Robez" version are on there and a good bunch of bonus cuts along with it.
-> Breakdown of the re-issues:
#3 is -> Double Feature: 5 Element Ninja vs. The Karate Kid / Kwantung Connection (2007)
#10 is -> Ol Dirty Kung Fu (2007) and Beatjitzu Vol 1 (2006)
#11 is -> Dirty Tape aka Shaolin Dolemite (2009)
#12 is -> Black Belt Theatre Vol. 2.0 (2010) and -> Lo-Fi Sorcery (2009)
#14 b-side is -> Ninja Academy (2015) (and contains bonus cuts)
#15 is -> Black Belt Theatre (2008) and -> Black Belt Theatre Vol. 2 (2010)
