In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a huge Justus League fan. With that being said, it should come to no surprise that I would eventually do a Producer’s Spotlight on the man that helped create that North Carolina Justus League sound — Khrysis.
Khrysis, whose real name is Christopher Tyson, brings just as much to the table as 9th Wonder when it comes to making beats for the camp. You may be most familiar with his work as part of The Away Team with MC Sean Boog, but Khrysis has done beats for virtually all members of the Justus League to include Little Brother, Median, Cesar Comanche, and Edgar Allen Floe.
So if you’re not familiar with Khrysis, here’s an introduction to his work. Study up now; I guarantee you’ll be hearing more from Khrysis in the future!

Damn, I don’t know what’s up. Three of the tracks I uploaded keep coming out super sped up. I don’t have time to mess with it now so I just took them off the player and removed the links. Sorry.
man good look with this spotlight. i was gonna request him for a spotlight! lol. but nah this guy is a beast on the boards. good look with ‘rize’ too…them horns are killer
Thanks Jas! Yeah Rize is one of my fav tracks off Median’s Relief.
Hey Kevin, Keep it moving man. Def good look on these spotlights. I am in trouble man,and I figured you cud help me out.
Do you know what sample Focus used on Bishop Lamont’s ‘Feel On It’?
I’m not actually up on Bishop Lamont. He’s a new cat from the west coast right? I did a quick look around and wasn’t able to find any sample info on him. Let me see if I can listen to the song and see if I know it. I’ll hit you back later this week.
Yo Kevin, Yeah Bishop Lamont is a new cat on aftermath.
I am usually good with samples, but I cudnt place the one focus used on feel on it.
keep digging man. I will keep lookin too
the sample which Focus used in ‘Feel on me’ is taken from the song “Bre Petrunko” by Filip Koutev. Its performed by some of the bulgarian woman’s choirs, but i am not sure which one exactly as they sound alike.
The choir could be:
-Koutev Bulgarian National Ensemble
-Great voices of Bulgaria
or some other
here is the original sample (Bre Petrunko):

lol mistyped my home page
good looks man! Thanks!
Yo Kev,
Thanx for that bishop lamont sample. I really feel that beat, I preciate that big.
ama keep asking you this,can u help me with the Wash Soundtrack, I really need that album man. I couldnt find it anywhere reliable. help me out
in bishop lamont’s feel on it focus samples a bulgarian traditional folk vocal choir.. i’m not sure i’ve seen that mentioned anywhere
Its not mentioned anywhere but here, cuz i dig it myself
i mean on focus’s or bishop’s site, or on their label site, does anyone know if the usage rights are listed anywhere? cause i don’t believe using someone else’s music without reviewing usage rights with them as a sample to your own music that you will sell is legal..right?
well, clearing and paying for right is one thing, and acknowledgment another…
the right should be belonging to the performers and producers or at least comanies which would inform them you can’t take someone’s voice and make money out of it without their knowledge
