Once again my man hanDJob returns with another interesting interview. this time he talked to dj gerard aka brother black from queens. you should at least know him from the reggie capers releases (four years ago i posted their second 12" on sound plus rhythm).
«hanDJob: To start this, please share some history about the time you got into music, like how it was back then. How it all started.
Dj Gerard: I started DJing at 13 years old, in Lefrak City Queens NY. This was where and when I received my first DJ set, It was BSR TURNTABLES, AND A UP AND DOWN CROSS GEMINI MIXER AND A REALISTIC AMP FROM RADIO SHACK. To this day...»
yep, and you know how we do [at least the leechers out there, who don't read one line we post]! once again we come with some exclusives! dj gerard blessed us with two unreleased reggie capers joints. fellas, they are hot, check the videos below! and to make the package perfect, we also share their '95 debut release «she can't love me». plus i also packed in the suspect 12" again- like that you'll get all 3 releases in this download. dope stuff!

reggie capers - i apologize
reggie capers - time and time again
and now go and read the interview! big shout out to dj gerard and reggie capers!
another nice compilation from toronto. 2 crazy mentall productions- the compilation vol. 2 was released on double vinyl in '97. goody here– you can also find "elixir" by abdominal, which was featured on his cassette only debut release one year later. i'm not sure if there was also a volume 1. maybe you guys know more?!
i've also seen a 12" from the same label from around '97/'98, plus there are at least 2 more 12"'s from 2000.
i have to admit, i bought this record pretty randomly in '08 on ebay from noz over at cocaine blunts. it then took me some time to realize that there was roc marciano spitting on the prophecy track. i remember last september, when our homie verge went mad on t.r.o.y. trying to id recordings he had from this 12". yeah, and a few weeks later this release resounded throughout the land.
this 12" on noose records has to be roc's debut release on vinyl with a second mc i can not identify (it can't be a member of the un crew, looking at the name). they call themselves kuku productions. on the flipside you have a group called zo & ox of which i know even less. each group has one track with 3 different mixes. all tracks are nice! but i stick to the radio and oxidation edits of "the prophecy". man, i love roc's voice and flow!

anyway, since roc marciano dropped his amazing album «marcberg» earlier this year, i thought it would be the right time to share this with you today. also make sure you check out robbies interview over at unkut in case you have missed that.
let me introduce all around incredibles with their two track twelve inch from '97. they are so incredible, that i could not find any info about them. apparently the rappers are nebulus & kwamclizm. production credits go to des black and k-carribean. i don't know if they had an earlier release as it says "all arounds the bomb remix" on the label.
a very dope record in my opinion!
hit the comments section should you know more!

original seeds from jersey on conglomerate records. featuring j. mack & juice (a different one) on the flipside. year is 1997. dollar dollar is my joint! amen.
dj concrete returned one more time to blesses us with another two unreleased tracks from the annexx click headquarter! both joints are from '97 and of course were produced by dj concrete himself! silouette gets an exclusive track called "worried?". the second highlight is "we killin 'em" by the annexx click feat. omar little & trife diggy.
"You can let your readers know that we really appreciate the luv and that we still may have a project to come depends on how much our listeners want it." [dj concrete]

THE ANNEXX CLICK FEAT. OMAR LITTLE & TRIFE DIGGY "WE KILLIN 'EM" [UNRELEASED 1997]
bomb the comments section, so hopefully the unreleased stuff finally gets a proper release!
first i wanted to make a post about the two odin 12 inches on foot stompin' records. but i found out these had already been covered on indie-cratez last september. also, i'm sure most of you have heard the two excellent brothers of the mind singles. well, what do all these records have in common? they were produced by a man called pal joey.
so what do i come up with...
did you know he released a full album with a group called bqe in 1997? unfortunately not on wax (?), but it's available for download on several mp3-sites. so out of respect i do not post the whole album here, only a bunch of dope tracks. also i downgraded the quality to 192k.
people, this lp is hot, i wish "king of the castle" and "last messiah" would have been released on vinyl back then!
now enjoy, and purchase the whole album afterwards!
BQE "BQE" LP '97
1. INTELLECTUAL MASSACRE
2. KING OF THE CASTLE
3. LAST MESSIAH
4. PUNISHMENT
5. VERBAL MYSTIFIER
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.
