The Southpaw EP

PhotobucketPhotobucket

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

Ive been looking for this for 2 days STRAIGHT. Heard of it many years ago, came up in discussion when I talked to 8-Off and Rhetoric (not conference style but both at the same time, on MSN or whatever worked ca 2010), I tried to get 8-Off to back off from bashing his own prod on All Fates Have Changed. That fn LP was fn great (if uneven and strange, I think he had more problems with Jus Allah as a person than with the concept and the shelved material from Omnipotent he had to build on), and when I said his prod was among the 3 best (Kingston and NME-REK beat him by a smidge) on the record he started dropping obscure releases he WAS content with. And he was involved in the Southpaw EP somehow. Exec prod i think but hes a workoholic, likely he had tentacles all over it. Fun trivia right :D However, I havent been able to find it ANYWHERE. 9 of 10 hosting services are down so not even mixtapes w/out commercial value (well they often contain uncleared samples and most material aint registered as property), same goes for extremely rare promo singles and EPs from folded labels/distros. So when I found it here I high fived myself before realizing it wasnt mediafire, ergo dead link. PLEASE UPLOAD!

No I had it mixed up... He said something about a EP or promo thing where Digga was involved but it wasnt this EP... Well this brief but heated debate was 14 years ago so cant remember exactly. Matters not though, Im a fan of all featured acts I recognize and it reeks of esoteric rap shit. Still, please reupload Southpaw EP! Eternal gratitude in advance
