smoked out productions / 3 years crates of ag

for those that slept– Crates of AG is stepping into its fourth year of existence! how many blogs out there can say that?! but now enough of self-praising. i guess a lot of you noticed the lack of updates during the last year...i just have a lot going on, that's it. but i'll do my best. on the other hand you've had a lot of mixtapes for free coming from my side, which in my opinion is even better than vinyl-rips.

for this special occasion i thought i should come up with something extra dope. so i grabbed two records by one of my favorite groups out of ny from the mid 90ies– smoked out productions!

the first time i've heard of them was of course while trading cd's with my man alex from sweden. this had to be in '98 i guess. it then took me ages to find out that al tariq, black attack (aka sean black) and problemz even had an earlier release, which was said to be even better. ed catto spilled the beans about it on smalltime hustle. and thanks to sureshot over at dwg i tracked down a copy later on.

read ed's article, that's all i can say.

i also attached a joint of problemz spitting over the styles beat on the underground airplay mixtape cassette from '96.

and now back up kids and check the styles! amazing stuff!
