I Guess U Had To Be There pairs NYC rapper ELUCID (Armand Hammer) with veteran producer Sebb Bash, stripping things down to just two turntables and a microphone. The result, ELUCID's street-level clarity, and abstract wit against Sebb Bash's swinging beats, producing a record that feels as fresh today as it would in ’89. Guest appearances from billy woods, Breezly Brewin, Estee Nack, and Shabaka Hutchings to season the album, marking a strong start to 2026 for Backwoodz Studioz. - Flying Out
Two turntables and a microphone. There is a truth in the clarity of that simple coda, a truth that also belies the breadth of what is possible within its confines. Sometimes you gotta get reminded. I Guess U Had To Be There, the new album from NYC rapper ELUCID and veteran producer Sebb Bash, is one of those ones. So fresh it sounds like it was made tomorrow, but bet money you could put this on in '89 and get heads bopping.
