Abstract Mindstate the M.O.D. - Equiponderance / Taoism

Photobucket

This is a nice 12" by a crew from Chicago that goes by the name Abstract Mindstate the Misfitz of Dialog. This record was released in 1998 on Cream Entertainment. The A side track is Equiponderance and it was produced by Gensu Dean for Can I Borrow This Record Productions. The B side has the track Taoism, produced by Andy C for Green Thumb Productions. Out of the 2 songs on this 12" I'd have to say I like Equiponderance more, lyrics wise it's crazy! I know Abstract Mindstate has released other material but I don't believe they released anything else on wax. They had a full length LP that they put out in 2001 titled We Paid, Let Us In. That CD has both the tracks from this 12" on it and I think is worth checking out. Enjoy this rip and let me know what you think.

What up yall this is Olskool Ice-Gre the male half of Abstract Mindstate. I really appreciate you cats keeping up with the good work we released. I wanted to correct a few things though. We released this 12" in 2001 not 97-98. Also we've released 5 records on wax: Misfitz In This b/w Hip Hop Manifesto ('98), Shook b/w Get Yo Groove On feat. Punchy ('00), Equiponderance b/w Taoism ('01), Love Song b/w Necessity ('03), Welcome 2 Chicago feat. Kanye West b/w Shoot Shaaah! with 2 bonus tracks: 57 feat. David Banner & Kamikaze & Downtown feat. Consequence ('04). We have a nice amount of work out there. Props to BYL & Diaz for being true heads.
