Nativ Stanjerz - Moodz EP

"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

"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.
