rakim allah / 2 years crates of ag / competition

first of all, 2 years crates of ag and no one even noticed...shame on you!!

since i love exclusive white labels/ bootlegs i will dedicate this post to a veteran in the game, rakim allah. there are plenty of unofficial records out there by the master, but i came to choose two of mines.

i once knew more about the background of these recordings but i can't recall it right now. you get eleven tracks of best material, probably not officially released due to sample clearance problems or lack of interest. the first ep should be from around '95/'96 and also exists with a green label. i don't know which pressing came first.

pretty, pretty, pretty dope shit right here, be sure to check this out!

as mentioned before crates of ag stepped into its 3rd year of existence. as gift i have 1 brand new freestyle professors shirt (Size: XL) to give away.

how you can win this?

well, since halloween is about to happen:

make a picture of yours or a friend of yours. on that picture you stand on your right foot (left one is in the air). you have to hold an 80% peeled banana with your left hand and a record with your right. you have to wear a hat, bandana or wig. in your mouth there has to be a cigar or anything similar.

send the picture to cratesofag at hispeed dot com and win the shirt.


peace,
al

us plus one

us plus one on crates of ag this weekend.

in 1994 swirl wind recordings dropped the debut 12" by a crew out of bushwick (i believe) called us plus one. on the "dear jenny" recording you'll find three tracks with productions by gordon ancis & true da grynch of the evil twins.

one year later the same label dropped the follow up. "gettin lyrical" & "poets get lyrical" again were produced by true da grynch. but this time there were scratches by mister tony touch.

another year passed and in 1996 the (to my knowledge) last record "murder me" got released.

in '97 swirl wind dropped a 12" by tony tone. these are the only four records i know by this label.

there's not much more i know about these cats- help a brother out!

US PLUS ONE 12" '94

1. DEAR JENNY
2. J.E. DOUBLE N WHY? (FEAT. SHORTY-E)
3. FOR ALL MY PEOPLE LOCKED DOWN

US PLUS ONE 12" '95
