Today some mad nice ish outta Brooklyn from a crew that goes by the name of…
aka THE BLACK ROSE KARTEL. To get more information about this fam from Brownsville I recommend you to hit the discogs entry. There you will also see that parts of this cartel here are also members of the other Wu-related massive called UNITED KINGDOM from which we showed you already a release in here.The Rose Family was one of the first acts that got signed by the that time rather unknown Rawkus label and also one of the reasons why it got credit. Unfortunately I just know of this one record by the Fam and don’t think there are other drops by them. You can find solo-projects of some of their members and also features they had on other productions but as far as I know this twelve here is the only one from the Fam (correct if I’m wrong!).
The wax was released in 1996 and also there I’m not sure if it ever got an official release as all the copies I’ve seen so far (as you also can see on my label-scan) were promos only…
Anyway, let’s head to the two tracks on that gem. The main title is “beaches & crème” that is a very smooth tune where rhymes flowin’ light-footed over the melodious beat. I also recommend you to check youtube that will show you the clip to this song. the b-side comes with the quite sick n grim “hah!” that I really like. I only knew of the main title and when I first heard the flipside I was like “damn f?!k – what a great tune” so this is why I play this ish more than the other one when I throw the wax on my decks…
