return of the Maestro

here we go with another review of records done by the Canadian rapper MAESTRO (FRESH WES). the release on Attic Ent. was in 1998 and contains the songs "holy water" which also features the well known Canadian crew Ghetto Concept plus the b-sider "the visine" which is my favorite on this wax!

the men of war!

second (and to my knowledge) last release of this crew goin by the name of SPLATTAHOUSE. this track's called "men of war" and was kicked out on Nikera Recordings back in 1996. the b-side has another group called Kavalier - parle's the name of the track but is pure crap...well it's all about the Splattahouse track though and really worth buyin this wax!

two of a kind

as requested long time ago here's finally the b-sider from JED DUST - strictly kings better. a damn dope track that makes this whole 12" a jewel! peace

jed dust_strictly kings better

... is the name of this track performed by the SOULJERZ OF FORTUNE. the wax was released on a split-12" (with "Jed-dust" on the b-side which I din't rip this time) on On Point Ent. in 1998. i'm definitely feelin this piece!

the ruph headz

honestly said, I didn't know anything bout this crew before I heard it on the decks of a friend...then I knew immediately that this ish needs to be in my cratez as well! this is the "96 spring sampler vol.1" by the RUPH HEADZ. this EP comes with 3 tracks plus a remix; in details: "home of the crooked man", "home of the crooked man remix", on the b-side the more relaxed songs "sheets in between" and "how we get down". couldn't find much more info so far for these catz but to my knowledge this EP was released in Japan only (on Backbone Ent.)...

well, give it a try if you don't know, it's really worth it!

the world is not enough!

this record took my quite a while to find! had it on a mixtape like years ago and then didn't know who it is...when i found out, it took my again a while to find on wax but finally here it is: the NEGROW LEAGUE project brings this damn banger "the world is not enough"! awesome song that plays a lot on my decks... a-side contains the other song "my life" which ain't that great so you'll not find it here. if you wanna know more bout that project you'll find them in Myspace...

the truthspeaker

and here we go again with a new review! this is the 96-release of the emcee LATEEF (the truthspeaker). the record that was dropped on Solesides Records comes with 3 tracks that are: "the quickening", "the wreckoning" and "latyrx" ft. Lyrics Born. all productions by famous DJ Shadow! an excellent piece of wax that is not so easy to find these days (at least if you don't wanna spend 40-60 bucks for it!)...

enjoy it!
