Ware Da Son Don´t Shyne !!!

Back up once again with another slept on gem outta Baltimore by a group called S.C.U. !!!

his 12" right here is another good example of what kind of dope Hip Hop stuff was put out on wax in Baltimore (before the internet took over and made promoting things more easy), but sadly never reached out to us because of the poor distribution / promotion abilities back then (maybe it even never reached outta the Baltimore city limits though) !!!

But anyway, i think now it´s time this dope record gets more attention by us vinyl heads and S.C.U. finally gets the props they deserve !!!

The 12" is titled "Ware Da Son Don´t Shyne", was released in 1996 on Mad Skunk Records, produced by J-Funk for Funkie Ave. Productions and features the titles "Ware Da Son Don´t Shyne", "Murder 1" & "123..." !!!

Check out a sample of "123...":

The Legendary Villain !!!

This 12" right here is sadly unkown to most peeps out there, but as the name of the Artist "The Legendary Villain" already says, it´s a legendary release to the few heads who know about this one !!!

The Legendary Villain comes straight outta GAP Town New Jersey and is really killing it with this unbelivable dope 12" titled "Memoirs Of A Villain" !!!

This 12" was released in 1996 on the Creative Brothers Inc. record label which also was responsible for a few other dope and slept on Artists and records like:

Handz "The Cure" (1995)

S.A.L. "Stressin'" (1995)

The whole 12" is produced by The Creative Brothers and is featuring the titles "Memoirs Of A Villain" & "Hot Spots" !!!

Anyway, The Legendary Villain 12" is def. the one to get from the Creative Brothers Inc. label, so if you ever get the chance to cop it, you better grab it while you can !!!
