13 years before Jay-Z gave away his first and only mixtape with those Reebok kicks of his which turned into Keith Richards' face after a couple of wears, Converse teamed up with Warner Bros Records for a free Biz Markie promo cassingle which came free with every pair of blue-on-white Cons basketball hi-tops in 1990. Nothing for the radio, just 2 tracks of exclusive prime-era Diabolical: Off The Top Of My Head is Biz's version of DJ Cool V's To My Boys, while Non Stop Rockin' is a historical curiosity given that it's a precursor to Biz's Nas demo + the sample-source for Biz's own Studda Step. Catch the vapors below:

Yeah bb. Here did you own some S Dots foreal 0_0
ReplyDeleteHow great was it that Bob James himself had to step in and deny the bell-less At The Mardi gras.
My old man copped a pair of the all white S. Dots from TK Maxx (loads of deadstock pairs ended up in there because no fucker in this country bought 'em.)
