North Bronx Alliance !!!


Mad test press only 12" release from a group called North Bronx Alliance outta the Bronx NYC !!!

This record was supposed to drop on a NYC independent label called Database Productions (the same label who put out the dope Rezidue 12"s) but sadly only the test pressings were made (don´t know exactly how many copies were pressed but there can´t be many) !!!

The 12" was pressed up in 1997, produced by Rob Dinero and is featuring 2 dope tracks titled "NBA Live '97" & "Black Caesar" (which are both very dope) !!!

North Bronx Alliance never put out a own record but are featured on the very dope North Bronx Alliance group member Aiello Wilson debut 12" titled "Black Soil" (which was released on Chase Dinero Records in the same year) !!!

I was able to talk with Aiello Wilson about the North Bronx Alliance and the music they made and he confirmed me that this test pressing right here was recorded and supposed to drop before "Black Soil" but got shelved because of Aiello Wilsons solo demos which got some bigger attention and some air play at Stretch & Bobbitos radio show !!!

Aiello was also pretty close to get his material out on Rawkus Records but sadly that deal never happened !!!

Anyway, this test pressing right here is an absolute jewel for any crates out there so you better keep your eyes open cause there may only will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to get your hands on a real Bronx raer like this !!!

2 Demented !!!


When i first heard this 12" i was absolutely sure about that i have to get this one on wax !!!

Very nice dark sounding production over the whole 12" and a sick flow on each track which rounds this 12" up perfectly !!!

This is to my knowledge the only record 2 Demented put out and is featuring 3 dope tracks titled "The Real Sunset Park", "Dementia" & "Evolution" !!!

The 12" was released in 1996 on 2 Demented and is produced by Eric E. Roache at the Roache Motel Recording Studio !!!

You better keep your eyes open, this is the only copy i´ve ever seen in my life so far !!!

Droopy Eye Crew !!!


Mad dope release by a group called Droopey Eye Crew !!!

This group sadly didn´t released that much stuff on wax, but everything they pressed up is just bananas !!!

This one right here is their 2nd release (to my knowledge) on wax titled "One Life To Live" and is a great addition to the crates !!!

The record features 4 tracks in total which makes it more like an EP than a 12" and it´s def. a nice follow up to their a bit more known debut 12" release titled "Broke Willeez" !!!

The tracks featured on the EP are "One Life To Live", "Most Deadliest Of All Games", "You Know My Steez" & "Anybody" !!!

This EP was released on Smokehouse Productions Inc. somewhere around 1996 i think (not sure which year exactly) and all tracks were produced by Smokehouse Productions Inc. as well !!!
