When we re-released Conquest in 2004, we added three new tracks to the original 2002 CDR version: D-E-F, From Under and Beauty Full 2.0. At their expense, we removed the three tracks from today's podcast: 1. Instrumental Illness Produced by Cosm, a short instrumental interlude with an intro that Teekay actually recorded as a drop for Cosm's campus radio show "Mental Illness". 2. Rhymes I Invent (ft. Shortop and Lingo) Produced by Nato, it's a old-west showdown with fake emcees. 3. Thoughtful Poet Pt. II (ft. Lingo) The spoken word sequel to the original, also produced by DJ Nato. TIME: 11:13
