BBO Enterprises !!!

Next round with another NYC banger by a group from Harlem called BBO Enterprises !!!

This 12" right here is their debut and (to my knowledge) only 12" BBO put out !!!

The 12" was released in 1996 on BBO Enterprises, produced by Futuristic and is featuring 3 dope tracks in total titled "Get Rude", "Dayz Lik This" & "Pose A Threat" !!!

Like already said, this is a very solid 12" overall but one track (in my opinion) is pretty outstanding and goes by the title of "Dayz Lik This" !!!

Check out a sample of "Dayz Lik This":

High Side Infantry !!!

Happy new year fellas !!!

It´s 2010 and time to begin the new decade with a heavy bomb !!!

So here we go with another incredibly dope but (sadly) slept on 12" outta Brooklyn NYC by a group called High Side Infantry !!!

This record is so fucking heavy that i def. had to get this on wax after i heard it the very first time (and i´m sure you´ll feel the same if you like that type of music i´m posting here) !!!

The 12" just straight up made it into my most slept on-east coast-mid 90´s underground Hip Hop favourites (well, it´s somewhere between The Legendary Villain & Da Hoodz Uv Mizbhavya right now which means a lot in my opinion) !!!

I (sadly) don´t have any infos beside that it´s from 1995, featuring 2 dope tracks in total titled "High Cant" & "Contact", was released on High Side Records, Produced by Moose and has to be mad rare cause it looks like you can´t find a copy anywhere !!!

X-Mas Special: TNP Sons Of Sam Exclusive !!!

Wassup ya´ll ?

Another year past by and it´s time for another X-Mas special on my Blog !!!

While the last 2 years X-Mas specials were all about the inigmatic ALPS Cru and had something to do with a special vinyl project beeing pressed up and some background information on the ALPS Cru i´m more than happy to hook you up with another exclusive X-Mas special this year !!!

This time we have an exclusive, previously unreleased track by the infamous Sons Of Sam packed in another Top-Notch-Production mix !!!

When i started this Blog around 3 years ago i never imagined that it would make such an impact on the vinyl scene !!!

Many artist contacted me over the past 3 years and i´m more than proud to say that this Blog right here was leading to 4 absolutely dope pieces of vinyl beeing pressed up now which otherwise may would have never seen the light of the day !!!

So it happened some time ago that Raph aka The Xav of the Sons Of Sam contacted me through my Blog and we talked a bit about the dope music they made and it turned out that they recorded a whole album back then which is as unbelievably dope as the incredible "Oooh He Got An Afro" / "Charisma" 12" they put out in 1993 !!!

After i had the chance to listen to some of those previously unreleased Sons Of Sam gems i straight up managed to get this shit pressed up by Vinyl Addicts who made 2 pretty dope limited releases earlier and were as amazed as me about that Sons Of Sam material Raph had in his vaults !!!

While Vinyl Addicts pressed a whole EP and a very limited 7" up Raph still had enough dope material left to let me take another track of this previously unreleased material to use it exclusivly in a mix for my this year X-Mas special !!!

The track is titled "Technique" and was recorded around 1993 !!!

I hope ya´ll enjoy the listen of this mix with this Sons Of Sam exclusive and leave some feedback in the comment section about it !!!

I wish ya´ll a merry X-Mas & a happy new year !!!

Tha Lowa !!!

Here we´ve got some rough & rugged typa shit from the lower east side NY by a group which goes by the name of Tha Lowa !!!

If you like the Henchmen EP from 1994 and are fiending for that one (like many cats out there) then this EP right here is something you really need to check out too cause that stuff comes on a similar vibe but is a notch better than the Henchmen EP (well, at least in my opinion) !!!

We have some really heavy production right here with that typical early to mid 90´s horns over some hard hittin drum pattern which are perfectly rounded up with some tight spitted & ruff sounding lyrics rolled over those heavy beats like a diesel truck (in other words: IT CAN´T GET BETTER THAN THIS) !!!

The EP was released in 1994 on Massacres Production, produced by EZ-M for Tha Lowa East Sounds and is featuring 6 absolutely dope tracks titled "Hard 2 Get", "Hard 2 Get RMX", "Don´t Crossover", "L.E.S.", "Never Give Up RMX" & "Never Give Up" !!!

This EP right here is (to my knowledge) the only release Tha Lowa put out together !!!

Ghetto Chronicle Daily !!!

Heavy hittin' Bronx smasher by the Money Boss Players !!!

This EP right here titled "Ghetto Chronicle Daily" has legendary status to all the Hip Hop vinyl fiends who loves to hear that ruff & rugged 90´s boom bap !!!

While the EP itself was highly slept on at the time of release (even the follow up 12"s didn´t made a major impact) one of the members who goes by the name of Lord Tariq still had the opportunity to shine with his partner Peter Gunz 3 years after this release right here with their well known major hit 12" "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)" !!!

Anyway, this Money Boss Players EP right here is where it´s all about if you ask me, dope ass rhymes, sick ass flow and some top notch production right here !!!

The EP was released in 1994 on Section 8 Records, produced by Minnesota and is featuring 7 dope tracks in total titled "Use To Fear Death", "Ghetto Chronicle Daily", Sat. Nite - Sun. Morn.", "What U Saying", "Nighty Night", "Stick-N-Step" & "Death Of A Salesman" !!!

ATTENTION: This EP was bootlegged in japan some weeks ago (the bootleg does not have the istrumentals on it) and peeps try to pass the bootleg for a ridiculous price now so watch out and don´t be fooled when you´re after a copy of this !!!

The Concrete Foundation / The Annexx Click !!!

Baltimore once again with a pretty dope collective which went under the name The Concrete Foundation / The Annexx Click !!!

The Concrete Foundation / The Annexx Click consits of the members K-Mack, Silouette & Dj Concrete !!!

This 12" right here is their 2nd release (and in my opinion their best) titled "Bring It On" / "The Annexx Click" !!!

The 12" was released in 1995 on Concrete & Wiz Foundation, produced by Dj Concrete for The Concrete Foundation and is featuring 3 dope tracks in total titled "Bring It On", "The Annexx Click" & "The Fastlane" !!!

The Concrete Foundation / The Annexx Click had several more records out which are all pretty dope, but if you´re only looking for the real nuggets i would suggest you have to look out for the first 3 12"s "Do Or Die", "Bring It Back" & "Speak Da Clout" !!!

The Mischievous LQ !!!

Straight up heat outta Delaware right here by a group called The Mischievous LQ & The Mad Mischief Crew !!!

This is one of those records i knew i had to get after hearing it for the very first time (ill beats, dope rhymes and a sick flow which is totally off da hook) !!!

I´m not sure if there´s something else out by this group, but i only came across this one right here !!!

The 12" was released in 1996 on King Poet Records, produced by The Mischievous LQ for G-House Management and is featuring 3 dope tracks titled "Representing", "Nonsense" & "Mischief Night" !!!
