Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh man, lost but newly found external hard-drives are truly a treasure to discover again.....LoL, long story short I just recently found a few boxes with some external hard-drives that I thought were looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong lost! Unfortunately there are some that don`t seem to be workin` at the moment, but I have found a few that contained some joints worth sharing. So before the rest of these drives die here`s the first joint that I figured was worthy of a share. I`m not sure exactly what the story is behind this album & why the project went 'unreleased' but either way here y`all go for your listening pleasure...
From what I can tell this project was originally set for a 1996 release thru All City Records, but for whatever reasons it wasn`t released commercially. Only promo CDs, cassettes & vinyl exist from what I can see during my online searches. I can`t remember where I actually got this file from, but it`s definitely not my CD rip, unfortunately it is only in 192. I however did boost the volume on everyone of these tracks because they were crazy low!! It`s truly a shame, at least to my ears because there are quite a few joints that folks out there need to hear especially from kats like Steve Def, Kool Kaz & Noggin Nodders! The King Tech remixes of D`Angelo`s "Dreamin` Eyes Of Mine", "Shit, Damn, Motherfucker" & "Brown Sugar" are pretty solid. Chino XL gets his shine on with his three features, but my favorite is "Rappaz Are In Danger". Gotta love how he tears apart his former Art Of Origin rhymin` partner! The "Wake Up Show Anthem" is pretty DoPe for what it is collabo`~wise & definitely deserves it`s spot in the Hip Hop Archives. However what really stands out to me on this comp` is the songs from the lesser~known artists like Steve Def, Kool Kaz, Noggin Nodders & The BUMS. Check it out & enjoy...
