pen powz

i have to admit, baltimore has called my attention during the last two years. there's a lot of dope records from the mid 90ies era. one of them is today's feature; the pen powz. this 12" is from '94 and is built on productions by the pen powz and baltimore's finest omar akbar aka labtekwon. the main group consists of three mc's, and gets additional vocals by labtek on "whatever". the vinyl was released on firm records. they remind me a bit of the dereliks.

yup, that's all i know. help me.

let's stay in jersey

da enfatry put out this 12" on 03/20/1997- well that's what the run-out says. not much info about the group. i think that was the only record they released. both tracks were produced by bnm (http://shaimond.com/), who later became a filmmaker too.

"I've always loved music, and I first made my mark in music as a DJ. From 1990-1998, I played at weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, etc. I produced for various Hip-Hop artists. In 1997, I released a Hip-Hop single (on vinyl) with the group Da Enfatry. I also produced songs for Kice of Course Hip-Hop debut album "Only a Few Will Understand" released in 2000. Musically, I used to use the name BNM, but now it's Shaimond. Around 2002, in addition to Hip Hop, I also started producing and writing R&B and Gospel music."

kice of course and steady roc are still in the rapgame, check 'em at myspace.
