H.S.D.`s "LuNGs LiKe A RaSTa EP"...


 



H.S.D. were either PuFF`n TReeS in their high school bathroom, always comin` late or just straight up  skipp`N class. The High Skool Drop-Owts were a duo consisting of Meen Green (R.I.P.) & Marc Tha Murderah. I believe that they were reppin` the underground Hip Hop scene in Los Angeles at the time, but I`m only guessing because of Meen Green`s affiliation with Freestyle Fellowship as well as being an original member of Western HemisFear (along with Voodu, Bird & Ras Kass). Meen Green`s also the brother of DJ Battlecat. Unfortunately I don`t know anything at all about his H.S.D. rhymin` partner Marc Tha Murderah. The H.S.D. EP has a total eight tracks & one instrumental, featuring production from Fatjack, J. Sumbi, The Nonce & M.D. Himself, it also features a guest appearance by Ganjah K. Sadly this joint was only released on vinyl, at least to my knowledge anyway. Unfortunately, well at least to y`all audiophiles anyway it`s only in 192. However for those of y`all like me that are just happy to be fortunate enough to hear the music at all, you`ll definitely DiG this. I do wish that at the time my homie shared this with me that I had got him to give me a better quality rip, but honestly this is comin` off a 14 year of external hard-drive that I had thought was previously lost, so I`m still diggin` all the gems regardless, anyway enjoy...
