Peace to the T.R.O.Y. forum, specifically Dragondude R and Sigma.
Bonus: G Rap Rarities
Shan sets the record straight on why he wasn’t on The Symphony. Marley’s response is below but he ain’t saying nothing really to dispute what Shan said. All I know is, Marley has had way too many shady dealings following him throughout his career. Not giving credit. Not paying artists. He is a legend so most people don’t care, but I bet K-Def has stories for days too. –Philaflava

Another treat from the T.R.O.Y. forum. I have no idea how this turned out or when this is officially dropping but if Michael Rapaport can do a film on A Tribe Called Quest, then surely somebody can do something on the Juice Crew. Peace to fatboybrandon for the post as well as Blackout Hip-Hop too. –Philaflava

“You got dropped off MCA cause the rhymes you wrote was wack…” KRS-One
Here’s MC Shan debut record on MCA Records in 1985. This is Shan’s first and only major-label release. Marley Marl is the producer. MC Shan would later get dropped from the label. KRS-One mentiones it when he disses Shan on BDP’s “South Bronx”.
This was ripped directly from my vinyl, I haven’t seen it on any blogs even though it’s actually a collectible record!

First I would like to say Merry Christmas to all T.R.O.Y. Blog readers!
Now here’s a rare posse cut by the Juice Crew that was released in 1988. As Cold Chillin’ was distributed by Warner Bros. Records, they were given a spot on Warner Bros’ Christmas Compilation “Winter Warnerland“. The record featured Big Daddy Kane, Roxanne Shante, MC Shan, & Fly Ty(yes, Fly Ty). Kane drops two verses while Shante, Shan, & Ty only rhymed once. Funny thing about this record is that everybody from “The Symphony” is missing except for Kane. It’s still a great track though!
