3. The Ancients is hip hop duo hailing from Brooklyn and Jersey City. Paze and Mazzi, two veteran lyricists on the NYC met each other after crossing paths on the open mic circuit and decided to join forces after years of solo ventures. They’ve been rocking together for only three years and have created quite a buzz with their live performances by ripping shows from N.Y.C to L.A. with artists such as Eminem, Ghostface Killah, The Beatnuts, Xzibit, M.O.P., Black Star, dead prez and a host of underground superstars.
In March 2000, they pressed up and released their debut maxi-single “Full Blast” b/w “NY2K” (f/ El-P formally of Company Flow and J-Treds) and “Off the Meter” (f/ Loer Velcoity). It was well received and got a lot of love on several underground radio shows and mix tapes throughout the country. In April 2001, Bronx Science Records released The Ancients’ second joint “What You Know About” b/w “20/20”. The A-side, an old school sounding banger was produced by Paze; while on “20/20” the emcees drop life-based poetics over a melodic Celph Titled track. The Ancients’ latest blazer “Pure Peak Performance” b/w “Get Into It” was released on Trring /Landspeed Records in late August 2001. “Pure..” was listed in the Source Feb 2001 issue in the prestigious Fat Tape.
