overdose

pretty unknown release to me from south boston, which kross fade records put out in '93. the group goes by the name of overdose. on "booty kall" you get featurings by sandman & hardcore. you will recognize the sample used in "countin' em up" which had been used by half-a-mil a year later. i stick to half-a-mil's version but i also like the funky flute used in this one. also i like how they flipped the sample in "booty kall" (famous break- but i can't name the title right now). nothing groundbreaking here, but worth a shot.

widow prizum

big update on this rainy tuesday

i'm sure some of you already noticed the releases on psycho v records from brooklyn. one of the main acts is a crew called widow prizum, which consists of cosmic ray (also member of alien nation) and his cousin ikiea. they grew up in the marcy projects of brooklyn.

"WIDOW PRIZUM STARTED OUT ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO. WIDOW PRIZUM IS A FAMILY NOT JUST MUSIC. THE PRIZUM CONSIST OF MANY GROUPS (ALIEN NATION, SUPERNATURAL, E.T.C., TEAM 2080, THE OL' GUY, SEKOU (NOV), PHEONIX ORION, DG SANDZ PRODUCTIONZ, THE QUEEN LENA,MY BABY RUTHIE, MY SIS WANDA, AND CAN'T FORGET THE NATION OF THE LOST TRIBE."

i want to focus on the first three releases they put out (at least i think they are the first ones).

alongside with the widow prizum crew you'll also find the b.o.d. click (money bazz, mr. jig, dj wick) and a french mc called k-pee on these records. the french connection went on as they released a full length cd called "a brooklyn kind of life" in '01 recorded in france.
