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.

blackmajik

since the last unknown track of volume 2 just got revealed, i thought i'd do a feature about it on coa.

it's pretty hard to find info about this record. obviously this ep, which is six tracks fresh, was put out by subrosa records, a london based label. but on the other hand it was recorded and mixed in brooklyn, ny. main feature on the record of course is blackmajik, but you'll find featurings by his due(?) fam members baby beretta, e-mega, cologne gotti, divine culture, justice & ill will. i'm not sure if the mc's are or were from the uk too. it's hard to say looking at their accents.

this ep with its hardcore vibe is a real gemm and pretty overlooked in my opinion. my tracks on here are "rotten apple" and "pass the axe".

please let us know, should you have more info about these cats.

BLACKMAJIK EP '96

1. TEFLON
2. 5+4=NINE
3. BRING IT IF YOU WANNA
4. INTRODUCIN' THE BLACKMAJIC
5. PASS THE AXE
6. ROTTEN APPLE

enjoy!

trigga aka big trigga aka trigg-nomm

interesting update today...i dug out records by trigga, whose "new york carjack" 12" should be quite popular nowadays.

i think his first releases were the two coney island gankstas records from '92 and '93. unfortunately i'm not able to serve you with audio for these right now.

due to the fact that trigga grew up with john "mook" gibbons (manager of the wu-tang clan back then), he became an affiliate to protect ya neck records, which then dropped his above-mentioned solo release "new york carjack" in 1995. (this got rereleased on hot wax in '96)

TRIGGA 12" '95

1. NEW YORK CARJACK (RAW MIX)
2. NEW YORK CARJACK (DURDEE DRAMA MODE)
3. NO TOMORROW

in the same year, trigga aka big trigga had another 12" on durdee mack records with big cy. they called themselves the gunslinguz.

THE GUNSLINGUZ 12" '95

1. PROTECT YOURSELF
2. KILLERS COMMIN AT YA
3. READY TO DIE

along with a few featurings on wu-member albums trigga teamed up with itchy finga sha around '97 to a group called the money makin' operation - short: mmo.

the brooklyn based duo had two releases on echo i think and put out a full length called "all about the money". also they had several tracks on the 3 volumes of the protect ya neck compilation series on the japanese handcuts label.

PROTECT YA NECK EP VOL.1 2002

MMO "FREEZE"
MMO/KGB/DEADLY VENOMS "PYN SYMPHONY"

PROTECT YA NECK EP VOL.3 2002

MMO "LAST DAYS"
MMO "STOP PLAYING GAMES"

(i added 2 more tracks from the pyn ep's)

enjoy!

nipskcab

when i got the nipskcab ep from my man tobi, i first thought "nipskcab- what a weird name". but then i had a closer look at the label. there were two producers noted: "backspin and the vibe chemist". so the name was now clear to me; backspin backwards. then i dug out my nitty gritty 12" to see that mr. backspin was credited there as producer as well. but this time he had an alias which was "the vibe chemist". so my guess is the label of the nipsckab fam ep is wrong. it's just one person. apparently backspin already produced for leaders of the new school in '91 and afterwards for the solo project of busta and also for rampage.

i'm not sure about this but i think the nipskcab fam consists of backspin (whose real name is marlon king), publik anounsa, hycelph da supreme child and maybe the mc featured on the nitty gritty record, whose name i don't know. i'm pretty sure they're from brooklyn.

backspin was involved in productions for one or probably both publik anounsa 12inches as well. unfortunately i sold my copy of the '95 release "comin' from crooklyn jointz" last year and didn't save a scan on my computer before. but i have a decent rip from back then and also found the ebaypicture at least. in '96 or '97 publik anounsa and hycelph da supreme child had a very nice split 12". i'm still looking for that one.

you got additional info to share? corrections? please use the comments section, thanks!
