That?s where the passion comes from.”
Even though this is a mixtape; with all original production and all new music, it sounds more like an album. This time around, All of the production is handled by Custom Made producer, Abstrakt Soundz.
“A Long Story Short” features Custom Made cohorts Bluff, Scoobs, Six, Skitzo and the lovely voice of singer Dena Fleming. It is the second installment of Element’s mixtape series and is also here to hold fans over while he polishes up his Official LP titled “Battle Cry.” With this release, Element is definitely defining his talents as a poet, his uniqueness as an emcee and his sincerity as a person all in “A Long Story Short.”
