This 12″ single features “No Time for Jokes” and “Last of the Greats,” two standout tracks from Percee P’s Perseverance sessions, produced by Madlib. Released in 2007 as part of the build-up to the full album, the record includes multiple versions of each track — vocal, remix, instrumental, and a cappella — making it ideal for DJs, producers, and collectors.

“No Time for Jokes” features Chali 2na and showcases Percee P’s rapid-fire delivery over a gritty Madlib beat, while the remix offers a different feel, expanding the track’s mood and rhythm. “Last of the Greats,” featuring Prince Po, continues the momentum with assertive verses and a raw, head-nodding backdrop. Both tracks highlight Madlib’s production style at the time: rough-edged, loop-driven, and full of character.

A key piece in the Stones Throw catalog, this single captures the essence of underground hip hop with two commanding MCs, a legendary producer, and a full set of alternate cuts to explore.
