Rare NYC Underground 1990-1996

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

Here’s a dope little selection of rare hip hop out of New York City. Hook needs no introduction. If you missed his album, dont sleep.

‘Sicks weeks’ is one of the strongest cuts from ‘Hip Hop 101′ and starts us off right. Second period is taught by the Sin Assasinz. This lesson comes from their full length album. Fellow contributor ThomasV brought us some of their earlier material awhile back.

The rest of this compilation is off the beaten path so I hope y’all check it out! Seems like the Abadaba single from 1995 is a little better known than his older stuff, but I’d go with his 1992 release any day.

Rev Run presents Sin Assasinz (1995)

Saturday, March 21st, 2009


In 1995, Rev Run released his self-produced gospel project “Rev Run Presents Zoe Bros, Soul Tempo, Sin Assasinz”. Being the first and only release on Rev Run Records, the album did not do well sales wise. According to Soundscan, it only sold 2,000 copies. Many fans taught that Run was doing this as a publicity stunt, they didn’t follow up on the release.

The hip-hop group Sin Assasinz, rnb/hip-hop group the Zoe Brothers and an a cappella quartet called Soul Tempo were all involved in the project and they each have three solo tracks. I believe that the only group worth checking on this ep is Sin Assasinz. All of their tracks are always on point. The production they received from Run was incredible, JMJ even co-produced on one of the songs.

People are sleeping on this…

“On a recent Sunday, the Bishop had just finished his sermon when Alberto Aponte and Kenneth Cook took the stage before an unlikely gathering of silver-haired matrons and street-toughened youths. Wearing hip-hop gear and pressing microphones to their lips, the 18-year-old rappers from the Bronx began strutting beside the altar with all the macho bravado that fans of rap music have come to expect.

But instead of spewing out the misogynistic and boastfully violent lyrics that send politicians and religious leaders into a tizzy, Sin Assasinz, as they call themselves, rapped about Jesus, heaven and forgiveness.” Andrew Jacobs
