Sixtoo / Moka Only - The Crystal Senate EP

Photobucket
Photobucket

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

Photobucket
Photobucket

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

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

Photobucket
Photobucket

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

Photobucket
Photobucket

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*

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. Check it out.

Giftstylez - Movin' On bw No Understanding

Photobucket

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".

J-Luv - In The House bw "G"In Or "Mc"In

Photobucket

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

PhotobucketPhotobucket

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 - Freekya/Mash It Up/Water to Earth

Photobucket

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.

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.

The Kreem Team - Three Hots And A Cot bw For The Love Of Money (Bust 2 Shots)

Photobucket

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.
