Kill That Bass

Kill That Bass is a hard-hitting lyrical statement from a young Mikey D determined to prove that hype alone wasn’t enough to earn respect. Beneath its powerful production and infectious groove lies a competitive message aimed at those who were receiving attention before proving themselves on the microphone.

Recorded between 1987 and 1989 as part of The Paul C Sessions, the track showcases the fearless attitude and confidence that defined hip hop’s golden era. At a time when competition pushed artists to elevate their skills, Kill That Bass served as a reminder that talent, originality, and lyrical ability would always outlast trends.

Driven by a booming bassline and produced by the legendary Paul C, the song captures the energy of an era when MCs weren’t afraid to throw a challenge into the ring and let the listeners decide who deserved the crown.

This remastered version preserves the power, attitude, and competitive spirit of the original recording while highlighting another memorable chapter in the history of Mikey D & The Original L.A. Posse.
