1 Life 1 Love to Donal & Ray Garraty, 1 Post for Concentration Camp stans

Here's a less distorted/unedited MP3 of I Like It than the one included on friday's Latino-rap comilation. Needless to say, this song was a no-brainer for inclusion on my part: a Happy Perez-produced Concentration Camp deep cut that's equal parts 24 Hours To Live and I Really Like It. All Music.com tells me that there was a video for the song which got a smattering on play on BET and The Box back in 2000, and that it originally appeared on Boo's A Hustla's Prayer CD a year before it was included on the 1 Life 1 Love Hustle Hard compilation. Who knew?

Boo Da Boss Playa ft. Young Bleed & King Goldi - I Like 2
(From A Hustla's Prayer album; 2000)



There isn't a sniff of the I Like 2 video anywhere online, the A Hustla's Prayer CD goes for upwards of £40 on Amazon, and the only place you can find a rip of the album is on t'internet is on some sketchy site you've gotta pay $50 to join. Maybe the album is some lost regional classic that's worth every penny, though, because the only other track from it on YouTube is Rainbow, which ANU once claimed was the best song I've ever put him onto. What's preventing me from pulling the trigger on a copy of the CD is that it might be the clean version like that damned rip of Hustle Hard on the Land Of G-Funk website.

    PS: this post is a thinly veiled plea for someone to find A Hustla's Prayer deep in the bowels of some Russian P2P type shit.

    If you can find A Hustla's Prayer you'll be the comment section M.V.P of 2015.

    907 is the only one I've heard in full. It's patchy but with a handful of really great tracks.

    Oh shit, yes please.

    I guess I Like 2 was edited on there because it had a video, and Concentration Camp always had clean versions of their radio/video jams on their albums after they stopped releasing physical singles back in '98. S/0 to C-Loc's cost-cutting business strategy.

    Kicking you outta the team for fucking with iTunes, though, m8.
