I`ll give y`all a lil` info` on this kat even though I don`t know much about him myself. H-Bomb (a.k.a. HDV a.k.a. Jacky Jasper - yes the same kat that collab`s with Kool Keith frequently) dropped “In Yo` Face - The Album” back in 1996. The vibe of the LP production~wise is on some smooth`D out G`d up funk which really suits the featured artists as well as H-Bomb himself & lyrically you can see why H-Bomb collab`s with Kool Keith -- they`ve got a similar style. Anyway, check it out for ya`self. The album`s a lil` on the rare side as well so you`ll uncover another one of HiP HoP`s hidden gemS...

The idea behind the mix is straight forward & simple; original trackS followed by HiP HoP jointS that sampled them...

14. For The Love Of Money [Instr.] (4:33)

This album here is pretty rare now~a~days, most folkS don`t even know of these kats. Yomo & Maulkie were repp`N L.A. & signed with Eazy-E`s label Ruthless Records sometime in the early `90's. Even though the group was labeled hardcore (probably due to their association with N.W.A.) they were more on the Public Enemy tip when it came to the lyricS. Just peep "Glory", "Society`s Relentless", "Watch Out Black Folks" & "Mockingbird" . The album itself was executively produced by Eazy-E, but the production~side of things was handled by DJ Yella. That`s probably why the same titled track "For The Love Of Money" ended up as a Bone Thugs-N-Harmony hit instead. The beat & background vocals by Jewell Caples (think Death Row, "Woman To Woman" off the "Murder Was The Case Soundtrack") are the exact same for both songS. Gotta admit it though, Bone Thugs killed that track! So I guess I can hate on DJ Yella for recycling the beat, wonder if it was his or Eazy`s idea? Anyway that`s another story, unfortunately for both Yomo & Maulkie their only album fell into the abyss along with any chance at commercial success. Not sure if it`s the fact that they borrowed their album`s title from Jimi Hendrix`s famous debut album or that Ruthless Records just didn`t know how to promote such a group when Gangsta Rap music like N.W.A. was their bread & butter, either way the Rap game was a bitch to both of `em so Maulkie went on later to become a member of Ice Cube protégés Da Lench Mob...
