Real Muzul has written about music for years: funk and soul first, in the webzine We Go Funk, then in Mondomix, Soul Bag and Don't Stop, a free magazine handed out in Foot Locker stores. He came to it through rap, digging back from the samples to the records behind them. A meeting at Don't Stop put him in touch with Sear, and the two started the Get Busy show on radio, then on Clique and now on Propulse Media.

With Nikkfurie and Abdallah, he talks about the gap between zines and magazines. A zine has no word count and a free tone, mistakes included; a magazine is tighter and answers to commercial rules. He also looks back at the Get Busy guests whose paths nobody expected, and at the comment sections that decide who "exists" in rap.

Most of the episode is about Here Come the Drums, the book he co-wrote with Da Cockroach on the drum machines and samplers that changed hip hop. The pair listed about fifteen machines, kept the ones that truly moved the music forward, and contacted around a hundred beatmakers: 70 answered. Their words are cut together so the book reads like one long conversation, with personal photos sent by the beatmakers and illustrators free to draw the machine of their choice.

The machines get their stories: the SP-1200, built to sample drums and turned into a full instrument; the Akai S900 and S950, made to sit in a studio rack, on which whole albums were composed; Roger Linn's MPC, which Linn himself, interviewed for the book, is proud to see in the history of hip hop. A culture of people who taught themselves, never read the manual and made music with their ears.

The episode was recorded during HYK's beatmakers fortnight, where Real Muzul sits on the jury with Nikkfurie. Here Come the Drums is on his HYK page.
