J PYRAMID Tradition Kills Intelligence CD Ohio hip hop XING rap 2002 electronica This is “Tradition Kills Intelligence," by The J. Pyramid, a brand-new, gift-quality CD issued by Vixel Records / Jib Machine in 2002.  It is in perfect shape and has never been opened or played. This is some raw, hard-hitting metal infused with punk, electronica, and gangsta rap from Ohio created by John Templeman (guitars & vocals) and George Cowdrey (drums & programming), both formerly of the band Xing.  A weird collage of sound, it’s definitely worth checking out...  Track-listing: 1) Moloch 2) Marblehead 3) Lost (featuring Luciano) 4) Barkie’s Revenge 5) Flesh
