B.G. Knocc Out & Dresta – 2 Unreleased Tracks from ’93

May 6th, 2013

Well, here’s a treat for all of B.G. Knocc Out & Dresta fans and for gangsta music fans in general. Two unreleased tracks that probably were omitted from their ’95 debut album “Real Brothas“.

You will aslo recognize disses towards Snoop and Dre.

Thanks to philaflava TROY forum member Fritz and to the dubcc forum member iDontTrip who originally brought this up.

Enjoy!

N-Tense: Da Good Die Young

May 2nd, 2013

Click here for full article

I’m not going to pretend like I knew N-Tense was Blu Warta because I didn’t. I remember copping the Phat Wax single “Raised Da Levels of The Boom” many moons ago. Anything that had a sample like that was an automatic hit back then.

Not taking anything away from the actual record, but that infectious Busta sample off The Scenario is what got us open at first. Back then Phat Wax had the Now Born Click (Mad Sick) and Preacher Earl & The Ministry so I was quite familiar with their roster. Raised The Levels of Da Boom was one of those tracks that just encapsulated that Golden Era sound. If there is you know not familiar with that era or wasn’t old enough to appreciate it, just  put on that N-Tense record. It embodies everything we love about the 9o’s. Read the rest of this entry »

Yasheen Allah and his Murder-1 Squad are from Brooklyn and that’s pretty much all that we know about this artist. This  was released on GNU Breed records and it was produced by D. Trotman.

What do we have here is simply amazing, hardcore, grimey and very rare release that definitely should not be slept on anymore.

***This is not full VLS, it missing 2 tracks (Bring It [radio edit] and Bring It [instrumental]).

Enjoy!

The Aspiring Me in New York City

April 26th, 2013

I interviewed The Aspiring Me a few weeks ago. If you missed it, you can read the interview here.

I got word that he is performing at the Tender Trap 245 S 1st Street Brooklyn, NY, via this very fluid and clear cut freestyle. In the song he also shouts out THE T.R.O.Y. BLOG and yours truly.

He really killed the beat. So much that the actual SoundCloud sound wave frequency looks like a scar on the computer screen.

There is a lot going on in this freestyle.  Read the rest of this entry »
