Stretch And Bobbito Month: 2 Twizz Demos

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

Ok, so these are really from a CM Famalam Show, not Stretch and Bobbito, but Bobbito and Sear. I believe Lord Sear played these, as you hear him shout out Maleeto in the beginning. If you don’t know, Maleet (formerly Maleeto), is another incredible producer straight outta Jersey. And Twizz hails from the same town in New Jeruz: Elizabeth aka “The Liz”.

Twizz is yet another one of those guys that grew up in our era and was highly influenced by all the greats, yet has his own unique, original, and always engaging style of rhyming. Coming from an “ordinary joe” type of perspective in his flows,he goes with the alter ego of “Spaceman Spiff” for these two joints that were part of an apparently unreleased EP from around 2001. And, to say the least, it works and he kills it. On “Forever shine” he reminisces on the days of old over an indelible Maleet laced track.

Included in this link, besides the two youtube tracks, you will also get the “Spaceman Spiff” track in it’s entirety, in high quality, without any drops, courtesy of Maleet himself. So, make sure to leave a thanks to the New Jeru god for sharing this. Enough wth the yip yap, here you go:

[Download here]

Thanks to HecticEclectic at the TROY forums for the demos ripped straight of a CM Famalam tape and big ups to Maleet for providing us all with the high quality version of “Spaceman Spiff”. We all hope to hear more from Twizz and Maleet, together, in the near future…

OC – Ozone Originals EP

Saturday, October 2nd, 2010



A1. Outsiders [produced by Buckwild]
A2. Would You Believe? [produced by Buckwild]
A3. Kick A Rhyme For The Record [produced by Mark Pearson/John Mcgann]
A4. Stretch And Bobbito Promo (MC Serch intro)[produced by Dj Eclipse]

B1. Brothers Are Fake [Mark Pearson]
B2. That Bad Motherfucker [produced by Dj Eclipse, scratches by DJ Riz]
B3. Sugar [produced by Buckwild]


No Sleep Recordings dropped this about a month or two ago in a limited 250 copy vinyl pressing. It sold out in less than a week, I believe. Allegedly, this is only Part 1 and hopefully Part 2 will be dropping soon. After a pretty long hiatus, No Sleep has really come back knocking their latest releases out the park.

This isn’t material that was deemed mediocre or just didn’t make it to the LP back in the day. This is quality OC/DITC material. So by the time we get part 2 of this, it should be about a dope album’s worth of vintage 1993 OC. We’re all hoping for a few of the demos Bobbito or Stretch played back then will make it on to part 2. But my favorites here are definitely “Snakes” and “Kick A Rhyme For The Record”. “Brothers Are Fake” and the rest of tracks are no slouches either.

Enjoy and keep your eyes open for part 2!

Stretch And Bobbito Month: Setting It Off

Friday, October 1st, 2010

From today until the last day of October, we’ll be presenting you with as much Stretch and Bobbito related material as possible. And hopefully a bunch of ill gems you haven’t heard yet.

From the artists who got their first breaks on WKCR to Fondle ‘Em, one of the prototypes of the independent hip hop label model. From the success of Fat Beats and Sandboxautomatic, partially or even largely due to heavy promotion on the show, to Footworks, books, magazine columns, worldwide notoriety and so on and so on…
It all stemmed from this show.
Before we hit you with some of that homemade flan with the extra caramel, take some time to go back through some of our older Stretch and Bobbito related posts:
Plus, peep:
And/or join the TROY forum to help us finish plotting out the show’s history and help with tape rips.
Okay, party people, when you’re done with all of that, what better way to start this month off than with an ill promo that’s been recently released in high quality? The following two joints were taken from the recently dropped “OC – Ozone Originals” from No Sleep Recordings.
OC – Stretch And Bobbito Promo [DJ Eclipse production] 1993
And here’s another banger:
OC – Outsiders [Buckwild production] 1993
