RogueSoul Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 We've only just released Rapology 12, the CD featuring the super-rare Xero track 'Closing,' but we're already onto the next thing. We're still going backwards, and that took us to start looking for Rapology 11. We've found the cover of it, and there's an interesting detail on it. At first glance, you may recognize the artwork as being in the style of Mr. Hahn. Pay close attention to the turntable - on it, you can see "xero" and the Styles Of Beyond logo on it. We haven't found a tracklist or any details about the content of the CD, but this may be a glaring indicator of another Xero track to be found. What do you think? Is there yet another Xero track to be found, or is this just purely an artistic shoutout by Joe? Follow us on Twitter and like our Facebook page for more updates.

Skipees Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 There are three known orders for this CD:Astat, Afresh91 and Curt. The first one was a mistitled CD and the second one never arrived so I guess we'll wait and find out what's going on with the third. If Curt bought his CD from where I think he is, I guess there are better chances to get it this time. Of course the real question is if there's any contribution from Mike/Joe other than the artwork.

JZLP-Benningstrong Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Maybe a collaboration between Xero and SOB? Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/12698-another-xero-track-rapology-11s-cover/#findComment-273999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInterframe Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I wonder if this is just an easter egg in the artwork, or it means there's actually tracks on there. I hope it's the latter! This type of stuff honestly makes me wonder, how much other unknown stuff from Xero or even Hybrid Theory is there?

Astat Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 And to think, I would have had this CD for $8 if the seller actually had what they claimed they had.

mattyice318 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I'm absolutely stunned. In astats boat, I bought a copy for 10 bucks only for the seller to never ship or contact me, silently refunding money weeks later.

michalangelo Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 You guys were pretty sure there was no more stuff before Rapology 12 (can't find the damn post) and now info about 11. Hopefully Curt gets the cd.

Skipees Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 You guys were pretty sure there was no more stuff before Rapology 12 (can't find the damn post) and now info about 11. Actually we had 11's artwork around the same time we got the Rapology 12, but we weren't sure if it's only the artwork or if there's an actual track on it so we've decided to give it a few days before posting. The sentence you're refering to was based on information from Lee but was fixed later (and that's the reason you can't find it): For those of you who ordered Rapology 11, Lee says he think Joe did the artwork for that one. "Mike used to do art for me and Joseph was my assistant when I was doing the Rapology series. I helped get them together and would introduce them at clubs like the Troubadour, Whisky, and The Mint here in L.A. I believe Joe did the artwork for the Rapology 11 as well."

thedamian58c Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Nice, but it could be a teaser for that they will release a track on rapology 12, or he just wanted to spread the names (kinda like a commercial). How did we discover the latest Xero tracks were on rapology CDs? and how do we know there's no Xero tracks on other rapology CDs?

lpliveusername Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 How did we discover the latest Xero tracks were on rapology CDs? The tracklists for 13 and 14 were on Discogs. The songs on 12 were listed on Last.fm. and how do we know there's no Xero tracks on other rapology CDs? We weren't able to find the Rapology 11 tracklist, but I think we've already checked the previous ones from 1997 (10, 9, etc.) and the ones from 1999 (15, 16, etc.). The characters Mike created for 12, 13 and 14 were reused on the cover of Rapology 16 but there's no Xero song in the CD.

SerioDrew Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) how do we know there's no Xero tracks on other rapology CDs? EDIT ive checked volumes 1-10 & 12-17 so the last one might be on 11, there is a slim possibility there are Mike or Hybrid Theory tracks in volumes 18+ till Rapology volumes that got released before 2001 cause then Lee Cadena still worked on Rapologies and was still close with Linkin Park. https://247actionauction.com/iteminfo.php?cat=RA&subcat=CD&id=807253&display=all Is this the one? yeah i asked the one who bought it Edited April 29, 2017 by SerioDrew Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/12698-another-xero-track-rapology-11s-cover/#findComment-274023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

captaincurt Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Well Mike made the logo for SOB so maybe a clue in that? I would not be surprised if this was Mikes original artwork, seeing as the rest of them were as well. Either way it will be interesting. I am hopeful there is something contained within Mr.Choc (Drop). He was part of Beat Junkies which drop in and out of the LP sphere in different ways (DJ Babu was on H! Vltg3 for instance). I know Lee Cadena said he introduced Joe to the Beat Junkie crew when he started working for him. For all intents an purposes we can assume that this introduction was around the time Rapology 11 was released. So there is a very slim possibility of some material from Joe on track... will have to wait until July lol.
