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...

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

After numerous requests from plenty of folks over my many years of inactivity upon this blog & now just recently finding an external hard-drive with this joint on it, it was only fair to make sure that I shared it with y`all. I can`t recall where exactly I got it from file~wise, the HD is over 26 years old. It`s not my rip, so unfortunately it`s only in 192 -- no high definition ish here. However I did BuMP uP the volume on a few tracks for listening`s sake because they were crazy low. HSD were either PuFF`n Trees in the high school bathroom, comin` late or just straight skippin` class. The High Skool Drop-Owts consists of members Marc Tha Murderah & Meen Green. They are most definitely more on the 'underground' tip, reppin` the L.A. scene. Their Freestyle Fellowship association shows just how much ReSPeCT they hold because they take this Hip Hop ish serious! Back in 1997 HSD put together an EP titled "Lungs Like A Rasta" that was unfortunately only ever released on vinyl thru Beats & Rhymes Records. The EP itself consists of 8 songs & 1 instrumental; featuring production from Fatjack, J. Sumbi, The Nonce & M.D. Himself with the lone guest appearance by Ganjah K. Sadly as I repost this music for y`all I just came across another lesser know loss to Hip Hip, that`s right Darrin "Meen Green" Johnson passed away August 14, 2020 from Cancer...

 

 Here`s a clip of the Meen Green tribute that Patchwerk Records owner Curtis Daniel III put together, you can few the full 90-minute tribute here....
