Motion Man- Clearing The Field

In 2002, Threshold Records released Bay Area rap maverick Motion Man's debut LP, Clearing The Field. Motion has a pretty rich history, making his was through numerous bay area acts including Zero Tolerance, Noggin Nodders, etc.



After some colaborations and guest spots on Kool Keiths solo projects, it was high time for his own record.
