The four elements are found on the hidden bonus track at the end of Rahzel's Make The Music 2000 CD and have become a benchmark for beatboxers. You will need to listen to the audio of the four elements and read the examples at the same time. You can find the audios on the Internet but why not support Rahzel and go and buy his CD!
