(From Part One (22 Unreleased Recordings From 1990-92) CDr)
Fave jam my third eye has been awoken to so far on Sleepy B's Bay Area Jazz Rap 1990 to 1992 compilations. I don't know anything about Equipto beyond his work with Andre Nickatina, but I do know that Reflections is exactly what I wanna hear from some early 90s Bay Area backpack-rap. Music which makes me feel like I'm back wearing a pair of 42" waist DROORS jeans which I've cut off below the knee.
Haven't checked Sleep's compilations yet, did you find any other good songs so far?
ReplyDeleteLet's Roll by Chill E.B is some peak Running Man-Rap

Wasn't Chill EB a scientology rapper before Doug E Fresh and Will Smith made it cool to be a scientology rapper?
ReplyDeleteI dunno, I've never heard of him before.
DeleteJust looked it up, yep that's the same guy. Weird! Never knew that.
DeleteI'm glad you've found a couple things already. I would hate to link 350 songs and have nothing hit.
ReplyDeleteIt's been fun to see people show up over there, per your recommendation. Thanks again for helpin' to spread the music.
No probs.
ReplyDeleteOther faves I've discovered:
Motion Man - 93 Swing
R.D & G-Pack - Damned
Young Woo - I'm So High
Props for goin' through it all. I know it's a lot.
