Drongomala and 4D met in London, 2003 and worked together for a short period but only recently (Sep/Oct 2005) did they get the time to get down to a full collaboration. The fruit of this new partnership is the eponymously titled 'Elemental'. Taking place on the kitchen table of 4D's apartment in San Francisco the pair got to making music and writing the candidate tracks for the record. Vibes were great and the speed was quick - within a few weeks in Oct05 a host of rappers and musicians came through the door to improvise and knock it back and forth. The kitchen had become a restaurant where all kinds of plates were being served up. Boom and sizzle - Elemental the album was born. Guest rappers from the Bay and nearby Oakland shine in the Elemental sessions. Azeem, Blaccsmyth, Folklore, Hanif and Tiye Selha all rap on the album. On one track , 'When I was Young' - everyone does a verse and this track is almost the emblem of the album.
