Stoney Wax Part 2: Yes It's The WeedSkillz!

2010-02-23T17:59:00.006-07:00

"Gimme da weed, da good ganja weed...I rebuild on refer, I do it everyday. I smoke the sensi herb because it help's me lead the way."

So here's the second record I picked for y'all to get stoned to. Not the best indie out there, lyrics/production wise, but it sure is a fucking great cut to listen to while you're smokin' a blunt! This one is by a crew called the 4horsemen, who hail from Flatbush, and it was released in 1996 on All Kind Coundz (only record on that label). The 4horsemen did the production on this record and Dirty Rat co-produced WeedSkillz. Now this record kinda has me scratchin' my head. Some of you might be familiar with The 4horsemen if you're fans of Rass Kass, Canibus, Killah Priest, and Kurupt. They have dropped a couple tracks under the name The 4horsemen like Horsementality witch was on Canibus's album, 2000 BC, and Horse Talk witch was on Killah Priest's album, Priest Hood. Now when you guy's listen to this record you'll immediatly say "this can't be the same 4horsemen!" their voices are exponentially different, and I agree. But there's a couple other things that have me thinking there might be some sort of affiliation. The co-producer of the b side track, WeedSkillz, is a man who goes by the name Dirty Rat. In 2002 WolfPac released and EP called Still More Bounce and the title song features Dirty Rat and Rass Kass. Also, five years ago J Wells released an album and on one of the cuts, Get It, Dirty Rat and Kurupt are on the mic. Now since Rass Kass and Kurupt are part of The 4horsemen crew that released Horsementality and since Dirty Rat co-produced this record, here, it get's me thinkin'.... Now this doesn't really mean much, Kurupt and Rass Kass have done tracks with hundreds of heads and it's most likely a co-incidence because if you're a fan of Rass, Kurupt, Killah P, and Canibus you can just tell they aren't the Mc's on this record. So the mystery remains but my guess is that this is just a indie crew that released a low budget 12" in the mid 90's and that's it, no affiliation..... So getting back to the theme of this post, the weed skillz! This is the only song on this record I really enjoy, Crime is kinda wack (though the first mc rips the fuck out the mic), in fact both the songs on this record are not that great, but when it comes to songs to get lifted to WeedSkillz takes the fucking cake! The hook say's it all, "Yes it's the weed skills, Dutch Masters I build. If I wanna go and get high then I will." I don't think there is a line in this song that isn't referring to how much weed these dudes smoke. They make some pretty far stretches to add their love for the herbals into their rhymes, like this one "smokin' Backwoods in the back of Brooklyn yards, runnin' wit' TV's and VCR's. Gettin' smoked out wit' white boys that play guitars." Haha, that line cracks me up every time I hear it. One of my favorite line's in the song is a pretty repetitive rhyme but it could have been a dope hook, ha, it goes "I got train rollin' skills, walkin' rollin skills, duckin' when I'm runnin' from the cops rollin' skills." Even though the rhyme patterns in this song are pretty repetitive, the Mc's flows are lackin' consistency, and one of the Mc's voice's is wack beyond recognition, there's no way anyone could smoke a blunt, listen to this song and not have their headin' noddin' and not have the hook stuck in their head in the first minute! When it comes to songs to listen to while I'm smokin' the "good ganja weed", this one is one of my favorites.... doesn't mean its a great hip hop song though. Non the less I'm sure lots of you will enjoy this record. So go twist another one up lay back on work on your weed skillz! Peace, leave some comments.

Stoney Wax Part 1: Stressed Out!

2010-02-23T16:53:00.003-07:00

Yooo how are all the heads doin'? As you all can see I haven't been that active on the blog's lately and I know I keep sayin' I'm going to start posting more and then not delivering but today I thought I'd drop a couple 12"s on y'all. Recently I've been caught up in some legal shit and it takes up the majority of my days. If you notice the title of this post is Stoney Wax Part 1. Due to my legal situation I have been forced to put down the buddha but that does not mean I still don't love bumpin' grimey cuts wit' stoney vibes. So todays posts are inspired by my deeply missed amigo, the good ol' gungi!

This record is by a crew outta NYC that call them selves Stressed Out. This is a 3 man crew consisting of the MC's, Sport, Soul Kid, and Def. This record was released on Radical Records, same label that signed Mr Freeze & The Homewreckers. The cuts were produced by Soul Kid and Geo. The big bad Es Em Double Oh Vee (Smoov) from VA has the theory that the Geo who produced this record is the same Geo from Geo & Ricochet since Mr Freeze and Geo, from Geo & Ricochet, both worked with Jazzy Jay. This record was released in '95 and it comes with two banging tracks, Jazzy Wit Da Joint and Bullets Flyin'. The cut that falls under the category of Stoney Wax is the A side, Jazzy Wit Da Joint. Now when you first hear this crews name, Stressed Out, you probably get the impression that these guys like to chief da trom, and they sure do! When Sport spits the first line "Let's go the whole nine and combine are minds for the caper, savor the joint and still get high from the vapor." and those inhale/exhale sounds start comin' in you know this is a song you gotta get lifted to. This song has a sick laid back jazzy boom bap sound that I just fuckin' love. The B side cut is ill too but this post is about gettin' stoned so I'm not really gunna go into details, just listen! Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, this record was released in 3 different presses; the promotional release, the main release, and then a way dope picture disc. The main release is not hard to find at all and is easy to grab for a decent price... the promo and the picture disc are a lil' harder to find. I only own the main release and the picture disc and since photos of the main one are all over the net I thought I'd post pics of the picture disc, witch I think is really nice lookin', especially when it's spinnin' on a wheel of steel. Alright I've done enough writing, so now go twist some up and get amped to this dope 12". And be nice and drop a comment! (sorry for the low quality pics, the picture disc didn't fit in my scanner so I had to use the camera on my iPhone)

Swati - Times Are Hard

2009-11-29T11:04:00.007-07:00

"The only thing that's changed are the days and nights, chillin' in the park watchin' mad crazy fights. Over who said this and who robbed the other, some one bust a clock, the whole park runs for cover."

-

-

Haven't really made up my mind on this record yet. Picked it up a looong time ago, listened to it, and kinda put it to the side....wasn't really diggin' it. I think Swati is from Massachusetts and this record was released some time around '94, don't quote me on that though. Unfortunately I have no idea who did the production work for this song and I know nothing about the label. Like I said, I haven't really made up my mind on this one yet. When I first got it it kinda came off wack but after listenin' to it a couple times I feel this song had alot of potential but kinda fell short. Swati's flow isn't too bad, pretty laid back, but what had me originally hatin' on this record was the RnB vocal samples and the wack guitar samples. Like Swati says, when beat starts to "creep", and the bass line/horn loop comes in you get the feeling that this might be dope, but then the wack RnB hook starts and straight ruins it. Once Swati starts rhymin' you can hear the potential again. The majority of her rhymes stick to the theme of the cut and are pretty dope. So I guess there's just to many things in this song I'm not feelin'. Swati's flow and the bass/horn samples are enjoyable but I just can't get past all the other shit. So since this record is pretty unknown I thought I'd see what you guys think. Maybe you'll find it doper then I do. I don't think I'm going to hold on to this record for very long so if anyone is interested in grabbin' it let me know. Leave some comments..... peace.

Redd Bull & The Kixx Family - Raindrops EP

2009-07-10T16:53:00.008-07:00

"Twisted minds, twisted hair, evil grins"
-

-

Today I decided to share this dope EP with you all. It is by Redd Bull & The Kixx Family and it was produced by one of Philly's finest, RuggedNess. If you don't know about RuggedNess you should. He is a producer/DJ/MC who is responsible for Ruggedness Mad Drama and the four 12"s they released between '93-'97. RuggedNess has also done loads of production work for Da Fat Cat Clique and recorded tracks with Three Times Dope, Ve Borne, and Ram Squad. The Kixx Family consists of Black Key, Ital Tha Rufian, Dark Man, Newsence, MC Skillz, and K-Sarrah-Harras. This EP was released in 1996 and it's the second 12" by Redd Bull. The first was the Bring On Da Bull EP witch was released in '94 on Kixx Records and it was produced by RuggedNess as well. This EP is so dope because of the main title, Raindrops. Hands down Raindrops is my favorite cut on the 12". A couple other tracks are enjoyable, like Who's Da Baddest and So Happy 2gether. But, again, Raindrops is the definate winner. This record is pretty tough to come by so if you see a copy don't hesitate! Enjoy the record and leave some comments letting me know what you think. Peace!

Centa Of Da Web - Beyond Human Comprehension

2009-05-10T09:11:00.006-07:00

"Transmissions and submissions made by our mentality, the Atoms Family exploring outer regions of reality."
-

Here is one of my favorite LP's. Its by Centa Of Da Web and it was released in 1996 on Centrifugal Phorce Records. Centa Of Da Web consists of three MC's, Da Cryptic One, Molecule, and Whichcraft and they are NYC based group. This LP jump started the movement of the huge hip hop crew, The Atoms Family. At it's start the Atoms Family consisted of close to 30 members. The members of Centa Of Da Web along with Jest One and Alaska were the founders of the Atoms Family. Some early members were Osiris, Analytic, Void, Apathy, Konfucious, Kasm, Delta, Genesis, Poison Pen, and C Rayz Walz. The amount of members of The Atoms Family faded from near 30 to 8. Currently the Atoms Family consists of Da Cryptic One, Jest One, Vast Aire, Vordul Megallah, DJ Cip-One, Alaska, Windnbreeze, and DJ Pawl. The groups Cannibal Ox and Hangar 18 are also Atoms Family based. Cannibal Ox's memebers are Vast Aire, Vordul Megallah, and DJ Cip One. Hangar 18 consists of Alaska, Windnbreeze, and DJ Pawl. The Atoms Family have an impressive discography. In 2000 they released the first album under the name The Atoms Family. That album was titled The Prequel and it's pretty good. After that the Atoms Family started droppin CD's left and right. In 2001 the Euphony LP was released on Centrifugal Phorce. In 2002 this album was pressed on CD along with a slue of freestyles and unreleased tracks. That CD was known as the Atoms Family Archives Vol. 1. Volume 2 was put out in 2005 and features more previously unreleased tracks. There are a few more Atoms Family projects out there like Da Cryptic One's album The Anti-Mobius Strip Theory and the Crypstramentals volumes, witch is a 3 CD collection of instrumentals made by Cryptic one. Well now that you have a little background information on the Atoms Family let's talk about this record. All the cuts on this record were produced by Da Cryptic One. The track's Outer Regions and 5 Lil' Pumpkins were co-produced by Jest One and he's also on the mic in Outer Regions. This album was pressed on green vinyl and it was recorded at Da Crypt in Nassau, New York and all scratches were done by Sugarcuts. I really like all the tracks on this album, the beats and lyrics are all on point, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be Most Can't Comprehend. I really like the Pharaoh Monch sample from Stress. So I've wrote enough and I think it's time you check out the files! Hope you learned something. Leave a comment.

Nativ Stanjerz - Moodz EP

2009-03-24T13:35:00.007-07:00

"People be thinkin' that we on drugs and stuff, but they don't understand that this flavor is all natural. It's all part of being a bamboozalite, it's all part of being a Nativ Stanjer."

Here is an indie record that, unfortunately, I don't know much about at all so I apologize for the short review. This 12" is by the Nativ Stanjerz, and it was produced by Zakling Alo. I don't know when this record was released but I'm guessing some time in the mid to late 90's. I like all 3 cuts but my favorite is Weed. Well check out this pretty unkown 12" and let me know what you think in the comments! Peace

Ready Ta Roll - Drug Game / Taste The Flavor

2009-03-10T11:22:00.006-07:00

"For those who thought I was just a DJ you're wrong. I'm lyrically holdin' explodin' wit' verbal bombs but when it comes to the tables I'm still able to slice, dice, cut, and fuck dem records up!"

Here's a really dope 12" by Ready Ta Roll. Ready Ta Roll are from New Jersey and they released a couple records back in the early 90's. The earliest Ready Ta Roll Creation I'm familiar with is the "That Girl" single released under the name 2 Hard Ta Handle, witch was dropped in 1992 on PEP Records. In 1993 Ready Ta Roll released the Real Hip Hip / Ready Ta Roll VLS. That 12" is on Trumpet Records and isn't to hard to find.. defiantly worth checkin' out. The Drug Game / Taste The Flavor 12" was put out in 1994 on Chanpen Entertainment and their were two separate pressings made. I'm not sure witch one was pressed first, I always assumed that this press was a promotional press because the other one has alot more information on it and the label is colored. You can see it here. I also believe that Ready Ta Roll released an EP on vinyl containing all four cuts from their two other 12"s but I have never seen it. (If you got any info on that let me know.) This 12" was produced by Mark Curry who is the founder of Ready Ta Roll. You might know Mark Curry from his work with Bad Boy Ent. He has done work with Puff Daddy, G-Dep, Lil' Kim, Busta Rhymes and he even spits a verse in Dangerous MCs by Biggy and Snoop Dog. Well if you haven't heard the cuts on this 12" make sure to grab the files because they are both fire. Leave some comments, let me know what you think. Peace.

Dysfunkshunal Familee - Lost & Found EP

2009-01-02T10:59:00.012-07:00

Civilized Savages, Armageddon Bodies, Rebels Of The Lost Ark!

I'm sure most of you have heard of Crazy DJ Bazarro and the Dysfunkshunal Familee. They have made a handful of songs since the early 90's. Bazarro started his hip hop career with the Hitman Squad. As far as I know they only put out the Rhoda / Nuthin But Da Truth 12" in '91. A couple years later Bazarro decided to start a new crew. After putting together their own label, Armageddon Records, Bazarro and Da Dysfunkshunal Familee released their first single, New Ruff Flava. A year after they put out their first 12" they released an EP. That EP has 3 different mixes of New Ruff Flava, Slippin, Savage Life, and Hit & Run (Remix). In 1994 they were planing on releasing their first album, sadly Bazarro and the fam never got their LP official released. The un-released album has been all over the net and gained much respect. Recently Bazarro and the fam have made it back to the hip hop scene. A couple months ago they released this EP on Cipherzone Records. This EP has six tracks recorded between 93-95. Two of them, Like That U Don't and To Have or Have Not, were previously completely unreleased. The Dysfunkshunal Familee have a couple more projects planned for the near future. I believe that their un official LP will soon be released, so keep your eyes open. If you haven't heard this EP yet make sure to check the files. Leave some comments!

Uptown Kidz - I Got Da Skilz

2008-10-27T15:08:00.002-07:00

Here's the first 12" released by NYC based crew, U.T.K or Uptown Kidz. This record was released in 1992 on Big Boss Records. Cazi-O did the productions for this track. I have one other U.T.K record, released in 1994 and it's on Big Boss as well. That 12" has the tracks How We Roll and Dark Side. They changed their name to U.T.K. Rezerectors on that 12". I don't know if U.T.K has any other 12"s or CDs, I've heard rumors of an LP but I haven't seen it. Personally I like their second 12" more but the song on this 12" is still good. Enjoy the rip and leave a comment. Peace

Aboriginals - Chemistry / Compositions / QNA

2008-09-24T15:17:00.009-07:00

The Aboriginals released this record in 1997 on Mecca Life Entertainment. This record has 3 dope tracks. The A side tracks, Chemistry and Compositions, were both produced by Logic and Obsession. QNA was produced by Fingatip and features Mike Zoot. Out of the 3 songs on this record my favorite is Chemistry but the other 2 are definatly worth listening to. This 12" is the Aboriginals second release. In 1996 they released Make It Hot bw The Joint and in 2000 they dropped Numer Theory bw Renaissance, both on Mecca Life Entertainment. The track Keep It Hot is also on the Lost and Found EP, along with tracks by Da Grassroots and Rob-O. Well check these tracks out and tell me what you think of them in the comments. Peace!

Musik G and The Underground Army - Rock On / No Games

2008-09-14T17:12:00.005-07:00

Here's a record by Musik G (Musik Generator) and The Underground Army. Musik G & The UGA released this 12" in 1998 on their own label, Underground Army Records. Musik G produced both tracks and No Games features W.H.Y. D Original. I posted this record because I really like the B side track, No Games. Rock On doesn't interest me much at all. Musik G & The Underground Army have recently made a return to the hip hop scene. In 2003 they put out an EP titled The Underground Can't Be Stopped! and last year they released the single, I'm Up. You can find out more info on Musik G and The UGA on their website. So take a second to listen to this record if you haven't heard it already and let me know what you think.

Here's a nice indie 12" out of NY by The Brotha Life & X Man Project. This record was released on Undercover Records in 1995. Both tracks were produced by Brotha Life and X Man. Brotha Life has another 12" out there that was released in 1993 and has the tracks The Wreck'a and Show Taker. Other than that I don't have any information on these guys. I like the B side, Rise Up, alot more but both tracks are nice. Check it out and drop a comment.

Top Choice Clique - Push It Past Red / Survival

2008-08-02T15:34:00.006-07:00

Top Choice Clique consists of DJ Gemini, MC Force, and Jawn P and they're from NYC. Top Choice Clique have been releasing wax since the late 80's. The earliest Top Choice I know about is The Power In Words EP released in '88. In 1989 Top Choice released the Peace Of Mind/You Cant Deal single and in 1993 they dropped the single,I Think To My Self. The Peace Of Mind 12" was actually re pressed in '04. One other Top Choice record I know about is the Killing Me Softly single. I haven't ever heard this track and I don't know much about the record but I believe it was released in '99. The record I'm posting was released in 1994 on Colorblind Records. All the tracks on here were produced by MC Force, and the scratches were done by Gemini. I really like all the tracks on this record, it' probably my favorite Top Choice release. There are 2 different mixes of Push It Past Red on here, the Full Length mix and the Slow Flow Mix. The Slow Flow mix is my favorite by far but the other mix is really dope too. Make sure to check this one out I know there's some people that have wanted to hear this one for while so enjoy it and let me know what you think.

Da Noe Doe Network - EP

2008-07-27T14:06:00.006-07:00

Da Noe Doe Network released this EP in 1997 on 4Self Records and it was produced by FMS and Da Noe Doe Network. Da Noe Doe Network released some great indie records in the 90's on their own label's. The earliest Rock The MC material I know about is a record released in 1991 on Espionage Records. That record also features Skemen's Mcs, Gab and K.C. The Skemen dropped a really dope record in 1995 on their own label, Skemen records. Rock The MC is featured on that 12" as well. In 1996 the first record under the name Da Noe Doe Network was released. On that record it has a list of all the people that are part of the Da Noe Doe Network and is says "Rock The MC, Shawn October, World, Skemen, Tek Priest, Rumboo, Panther the Apache, Bruzza & FMS." The 2 tracks on that record, Next Stop and Take A Journey are both on this EP. Da Noe Doe Network did one more record that I don't know much abobut but I'm pretty sure it was released after this one. That 12" has the tracks Noe Biz and I'm Not Sure. If you don't have this one grab the files and let me know what you think.

A.B.U. Nation - Get Lifted VLS

2008-07-20T14:22:00.006-07:00

Here is a record by A.B.U. (African Brothers United) Nation. This record was released in 1996 on Upset Records. This track and the mixes were produced by Arcenius Bryant, Greg Brown and co-produced by A.B.U. I think this is the last 12" A.B.U. Nation released. They have 2 other records out there, Pat Em Down VLS and the Black Panther Style VLS. The Pat Em Down VLS was also released in 1996 but I believe it was made earlier than this record, (I think the Get Lifted VLS was made in '96 but actually ended up coming out in early '97.) Black Panther Style was A.B.U.'s first 12", released in 1995. I don't know all the members of A.B.U. but I know one of them goes by the name, Demaka and I know before he did anything with A.B.U. he released a 12" (Knowledge is Power VLS) in 1992, witch is really dope and hard to find. Well check this single out and tell me if you like it!

*There is a miss print on the A-Side of this record. Theres no Radio Mix.*

Sourface - Era of The Sourface / Don't Try To Play Me

2008-07-19T17:39:00.003-07:00

Dope indie record outta NYC by the 2 man crew, Sourface. Sourface released this 12" in 1994 on Hard Beat Enterprises. The productions for this record were done by K-Love for Henchmen Productions. As far as I know this is the only record Sourface released and the only release on Hard Beat. I think this record is really slept because both the tracks are crazy dope. I listen to Era of The Sourface more often but I like them both. Make sure to check this one out if you haven't heard it. Let me know what you think.

2008-07-10T19:19:00.003-07:00

This is a nice, easy to find, VLS by a crew called Native Nuttz out of Georgia. The Native Nuttz released this promo and a full LP in 1994 on Down Payment Records. Their LP was titled The Natives Are Restless and it's definitely worth checking out. This record has the tracks Skin Flower and 40 Oz. of Funk, both the songs were produced by Aldrin "DJ Toomp" Davis. Make sure to check out the files on this one if you haven't heard it already.

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

2008-07-04T11:52:00.006-07:00

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.

Lost Tribe - Masta Plan VLS

2008-06-19T13:56:00.004-07:00

Not much to say about this 12". It's by a group called Lost Tribe and it's on Renegade Records. It was released in '95 and was produced by Vision For K.E.T.I.A. The original version is on the A side and there is a remix on the B. I prefer the remix over the original. I don't know much about Lost Tribe. I believe they released some other stuff in the early/mid 90's and I think some of it was under the name Lost Tribe of Hip Hop. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Jaywalk - Ooh Yea Check It Out Ya'll VLS

2008-06-06T12:01:00.007-07:00

This is one of my newest additions to the crates. This record was released in '96 on Pure Genius Records. The vinyl didn't have any info on the productions or anything else on it so I was lucky enough to contact Jaywalk and find out some more stuff about this record. This track was produced by Mo-Funk and he is the featured MC in the second verse. This record was recorded in NY in the Strong Island Studios building. Both Jaywalk and Mo-Funk are still making music and both are planing to release new albums this year. This song is pretty nice and I thought you guy's might like to hear it.. let me know what you think.

2008-06-06T11:47:00.007-07:00

Here's an indie 12" out of Atlanta by Backtalk. I don't have any information on this crew besides the info on the wax, but I really like this single. The track is called High Enuf and it comes with 2 mixes, the Fullasoul Mix, and The Earjerka Edit. The mixes are pretty similar but I like The Earjerka Edit more. These guys can really rhyme and definatly show off their '93 style. This record is on their own label (not sure of the name), and they also did their own productions. So check the files and let me know if you enjoy it.

Brothers Of The Mind - Stop Schemin' / Kick Facts and Rough & Tough VLS

2008-05-26T00:49:00.008-07:00

-
I'm posting both of the 12"s from Brothers Of The Mind that were released in '95 and '96. Brothers Of The Mind come out of New York and are signed under Max'n Records. Max'n released some good stuff from '94-'96, a lot of instrumental and jazzy stuff. Both of these 12"s were produced by Pal Joey, who is well known for his work with BDP.

Stop Schemin' / Kick Facts - 1995

The first 12" they put out is my favorite of the two. It has the tracks Stop Schemin', on the A side, and Kick Facts on the B. I really like the beat for Stop Schemin', it has a crazy horn loop and lyrically it's a killer. Kick Facts has a bit of a faster beat and is a little more rugged.

Stop Schemin' / Kick Facts

Rough & Tough VLS - 1996

The second one has the track Rough & Tough and 2 different mixes, the Daytyme Mix and the Nitetyme Mix. The lyrics in this song are really well written. All 3 versions are sick and each have different styles. The Nitetyme Mix was remixed by Da Beatminerz and it's probably my favorite. This song has a sample from Mental Stamina by Jeru The Damaja. You all need to defiantly listen to these vinyls, and please leave me a comment telling me your stand on them. Enjoy!

DaLush & The Click - Ruff Rugged & Raw / Blunt Is What I Want

2008-05-21T22:09:00.005-07:00

Here is a pretty nice record by DaLush & The Click. This 12" was released in '94 and it's on this crew's own independent label, DaLush. Productions for this record were done by Thurmond Dooley. The only thing I know about these guys is that they released another single in '93, witch has got the tracks Skeezer and I'm A Bad, Bad Niggar. That release is also on DaLush Records and was produced by Thurmond. The 2 tracks on this records have completely different styles. The A side track, Ruff, Rugged, & Raw is as titled. The B side is alot more laid back and smooth. I don't really have a favorite. Leave a comment and tell me how you feel on this one.

Nomad - Blessed 2 Mic Check / Da Movement / Shantae

2008-05-16T09:35:00.009-07:00

This 12" is by the MC, Nomad (Da Nomadic) out of Seattle. This record dropped in 1998 and it was Nomads first release. Nomad released 2 other 12"s. In 2000 he put the Sedated Thoughts VLS and is 2001 he released the Worldwide/Divine Rhymer 12". All of Nomads work is on 300 60 Degree Entertainment. The A side track on this 12" was produced by Mr. Supreme, known for his work with Third Degree. Da Movement was produced by DJ Sayeed and Black Anger. Productions for Shantae were done by DJ Swift. My favorite track on this 12", hands down, is Blessed 2 Mic Check. Check it out let me hear what you think.

Sixtoo / Moka Only - The Crystal Senate EP

2008-05-11T14:35:00.006-07:00

Dope EP on Hand' Solo Records. This 12" features 2 artists, Sixtoo, or Vaughn Squire, on the A side and Moka Only, or Daniel Denton, on the flip. This was released in '97 and Che Imperial and Kutmasta Kurt did the productions for the Moka Only tracks. Sixtoo did his own prods. Both Moka Only and Sixtoo come outta Toronto. Moka Only and Sixtoo are members of the Cryptik Souls Crew witch consists of many memebers such as, Abdominal, Buck 65, and Asicks. Moka Only has released alot of solo material. Some of his work in the 90's were the Upcoast Relix LP ('95), Dusty Bumbs LP ('96) , and the Monsterpiece LP ('98). All pretty dope. I believe that this is the first release that featured Sixtoo. Moka Only has 2 tracks on this EP, Ow and Taking You Places. Both are dope but I like Ow better. Sixtoo gives you a 5 different tracks. Sixtoo's style is more obscure and his flows are deep. This is an all round really dope vinyl. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Mo'Budded Phat Jointz EP

2008-05-07T20:02:00.005-07:00

A while back I posted a 12" by the Gas Chamber and Izm Da Mad Soul on Next Millenium Ent. This record was released in the same year ('98) and also features the Gas Chamber and Izm Da Mad Soul. Both records have the Mo' Budded Ent. logo on them but this one is actually on the Mo'Budded label. I don't have much info on these labels but I can infer that they are affiliated in one way or another. There is a 12" by Master O.L.D. that features the Gas Chamber and is on Next Millenium Ent. That record has a small picture of the Mo'Budded logo on it and was managed by Mo'Budded. I also believe that the track, Mo' Budded Representation, witch is on this 12", features Master O.L.D. but under the name M.O.L.D. This EP features 2 other artists; Shane Hunter and Da Unsung Poets. This was the first 12" that Shane Hunter appeared on. Since then he has released a couple other tracks on compilations and one full length CD, titled Conditions and Shifts on Rotation Music. I haven't read or heard about any other Unsung Poets material but the track they did for this EP is really ill. The Izm/Gas Chamber tracks on this 12" are as dope as expected. Productions for this 12" were done by Phat Ro. (He also did the productions on the Maser O.L.D. 12") I'm into Movin On and Mushroom Kloudz the most. Tell me what you think!

Attention

2008-05-07T11:17:00.002-07:00

I love doing what I do and sharing the music I'm interested in with all you awesome people but this blog isn't very socially exciting. When I decided to make this I was hoping to see more interaction with all the people that visit. I don't want to be preachy and yell at you guys for not commenting but it would make the stuff I do feel a little more worth while. If everyone who picked up the links just left a little comment on their opinion of the record that would be dope. Even if you don't like it let me know! All the other blog runners have an idea of what I'm talking about. It's just nice to see who's using the links I provide. If the pattern continues of 3 comments per 100 downloads the only thing I've thought of doing was adding a password to my rips and you'd need to leave a comment with your E-Mail to get the pass. But this would be a hassle for me and you so let's just leave some more comments instead.

Thanks and bless ya life!

Silouette - Bringin It Back / Africentricity / The Storm

2008-05-04T19:56:00.004-07:00

Here's a really dope 12" by Silouette of The Annexx Clique. K-Mack and Silouette released a bunch of 12"s from 95-97, I believe a total of 6. This one was released in '97. On the first two Annexx 12"s (CF001, CF002) the label went under the name The Concrete Foundation and they spelled their name, "Annexx Click". On the other 4 the label went under Concrete & Wiz Foundation Inc. and they changed the spelling to "Annexx Clique". Productions for this 12" were done by DJ Concrete. All the tracks here are really dope, I don't think I can claim a favorite. Leave me a comment telling me what you think or don't download it!

Main One featuring Trigger Tha Gambler & Smoothe Da Hustler - Something Special bw Cross Examination

2008-05-03T13:38:00.013-07:00

Nice 12" by Main One featuring Trigger & Smoothe Da Hustler. This is on Main Ones label, Main One Recordings. The A side was produced by Main One and the B side was produced by Tic. The year for this one is '97. Main One released a bunch of 12"s in the 90's and one full length LP, titled "Birth Of The Ghetto Child" in '95. Both the songs on this 12" are nice. The B side track, Cross Examination, is the track that features Smoothe and Trigger. The A side track, Something Special, features a R&B signer witch I don't like but I still like the song alot because of the beat. Check it out!

*The track listings on this vinyl are incorrect. Each side has dirty, clean, and instrumental version*

Mr. Live ft. Tony Bones - Relax Y'Self / Supa Dupa / Hunger Strike

2008-04-30T22:14:00.009-07:00

This Mr. Live 12" is pretty dope. It was released on Fondle 'Em in 1996 and it features the Britsh MC Tony Bones. E. Blaize and Ves did the productions. Mr. Live has released some other nice stuff like the Placebo EP and The Bus' Off EP. All 3 tracks on here are really dope... I can't decide witch I like more, Relax Y'Self or Hunger Strike.

Giftstylez - Movin' On bw No Understanding

2008-04-27T20:09:00.005-07:00

Super dope indie by Giftstylez. This 12" was released in '96 on Supreme Entertainment. Both sides are really sick. The A side has the track Movin On. This track was produced by KutMasta Kurt, known for his work with Kool Kieth and the Beastie Boys. Movin On was one of the first tracks KutMasta Kurt produced. The B side track is No Understanding, produced by T.D. I'd have to say I like No Understanding a little more but they are both ill! Don't miss this 12".

Here's a 12" with lots of old school flavor by J-Luv outta Maryland. J-Luv released this in '94 on J&J Jam Records. Both tracks were produced by J-Luv and Joseph Howell. I like the A side track, In The House, more but they are both dope.

VA - B.O.N.I.S. EP

2008-04-24T19:41:00.006-07:00

This is the B.O.N.I.S. Records Sampler EP released in '96. The artists featured on this EP are O Da Addict, Rukus, and Just Shawn. The a side is O Da Addict's side and it's got the tracks Brand Names and If You Don't Know. Brand Names is a really dope song with a pretty unique concept. Through out the song O incorporates as many other rappers names as he can, into his rhymes. I've counted 51 different names in the song but theres most likely more. Try and count and see how many you get. The song Brand Names was produced by O Da Addict and Just Shawn. O's second song is If You Don't Know, witch was produced by Jamil Ingram and Just Shawn. The other side has the track Trapped Inside by the female MC Rukus and Just For A look by Just Shawn both produced by Jamil Ingram. Trapped Inside and Brand Names are my favorite tracks on this 12".

Mudkids is a 2 man group out of Indianapolis Indiana. Rusty, or Russ Johnson, is the MC and Elp-Mass, or Tyler Knapp is the DJ. The Mudkids have had some underground popularity and have released a couple other singles including the '99 12", Fool/Numbawonsoun'/Rap Can Do. They released another two vinyls in '00-'01. Less than 2 years ago the Mudkids released a full length CD titled Basementality, featuring a new addition to the Mudkids, Skittz. The single I'm posting is their first release from '98. It's on Surf Records and the productions were done by Elp-Mass.

Yo! MTV Raps Finale Freestyle

Since it was recently the 20th anniversary of Yo! MTV Raps I thought I'd post the legends freestyle from the last episode in 1995. The order the MC's rap in is as followed; Rakim, KRS-One, Erick Sermon, Chubb Rock, MC Serch, Redman, Method Man, Large Professor, Special Ed, and Craig Mack. Definitely Yo MTV raps in it's rawest form. Enjoy.

2008-04-01T21:17:00.002-07:00

Here's a dope 12" by The Kreem Team. This record was released in '96 on Action Recordings. The Gooch did the productions along with DJ Mike. The beat on the B side is a little odd to me but lyrically it is really sick, I listen to the acapella alot. The A side is the winner for me, witch features Boosta Brody.

This is a really nice 12" by the Gas Chamber. It was released in 1998 on Next Millenium Records. The A side has the track It's Yours. I'm not to into the beat much for this song but lyrically it's way dope. The B sides got two Izm Da Mad Soul, (member of the Gas Chamber), solo tracks. The first one is Illusiv witch is my favorite song on this 12". The other one is Who Lit Dat witch is equally as dope. All the songs on this vinyl were produced by DJ Mo. Pretty sick 12" right here so don't miss it.

Pretty dope indie outta Staten Island by N.C.S. (Nappy Crumb Snatchers), on Black Prince Records. N.C.S. dropped this EP in '96 and it features 6 songs. A sides got the tracks Black Rain, Mentals Of The Mind, and Crumbsnatchers From The Slums. The B sides got Facks, Zero 8, and Lump Sums. Each track is ill for it's own reason but I'd have to say my favorite would be Facks or Lump Sums. Productions on this 12" were done by Keith Cormier and Johnel Hill.

The Southpaw EP

2008-03-11T21:05:00.006-07:00

Here's a compilation on Southpaw Records. This was released in '96. I guess there is another version to this EP that has the Ill Bill track, Dope Fiend,(SP-30475) instead of the Masta Ace track that's on this one (SP-99151). The other one was posted on Wax Attack recently and can be found on discogs here. The track Nobody Knows My name by Love 'N' Props was produced by This Kid Named Miles. Lord Digga's got 2 tracks on this EP. First is S.E.X., produced by Fatal and the other one is Feel It with prods by Masta Ace. The Widowmakers did their own prods on the track Meet Jamacia. And the last track on this EP is Top Ten List by Masta Ace. Personally I like The Widowmakers track the best.

If any ones got any info on why there's two versions of this EP released in the same year let me know. Thanks

I know Kukoo has got some other 12"s but I don't have em, if anyone knows where I can find one let me know. Well enjoy this one.

Groundation - Each One Teach One

2008-02-06T20:15:00.001-07:00

I don't usually post reggae but since today is Bob Marley's birthday I thought it would be appropriate. This is one of my favorite reggae albums, it's by a group called Groundation outta northern California. This was released in '01 and it's Groundation's second CD. It's on their own label, Young Tree Records. I really like the songs We Na Forget and One More Day. Check it out.. One Love.

Draztic - I/Damage (The Mic) bw Party Tracks

2008-02-05T20:54:00.001-07:00

Dope indie outta Chicago. This 12" has the track I/Damage by the rapper Draztic. This song features D.J. 33 1/3. The other side has 2 instrumentals. Summer Jazz is one of my favorite beats soo smooth. D.J .iJaaz, Ali, and D.J. I.N.C. all had a hand in the productions. The catalog number says iJaaz-001 so I'm pretty sure this is on D.J. iJaaz's label, and the year is '98. Really sick 12", enjoy.

Shok Therapy

2008-01-31T20:14:00.001-07:00

Another dope 12 produced by DJ Shok and Parallax Publishing. First track is Pad Lock, the vocalists in this song are Hi-Tech, Jedi and Spectrum. This is my favorite track on this 12. The other song is pretty obscure but still sick. I really like it lyrically the chorus has that line "that'll be the day the whole world is on an acid trip" dope shit.. but this track is titled S.O.S. and the rappers are Jedi and Matrix. This is a classic 12 no doubt.

You all should know this 12". I'm posting this VLS full because it's not really up anywhere else. For those who don't know this 12" was dropped in '94 and the label is Bandoola. This 12 features Lord Finesse on the B side. Lord Finesse did the productions for that song also. Ground Floor never did anything after this 12" but they were planning on doing a full EP on Bandoola, so was Lord Finesse, but the label dropped off and that was the end of Ground Floor. So enjoy the dopeness.
