BLANK FASIZ

interesting group from the providence area.

Blank Fasiz is made up of two members, the first being Aftamaf who believes that the music that Blank Fasiz puts out has to have a positive message.The other member is KWE, which stands for knowledge, wisdom, and equality. Blank Fasiz like many other artists have had to struggle, both financially and mentally.They have waited patiently, all the while, honing their craft and gathering knowledge and experiences. That is what makes them the hot-ticket in the hip-hop scene.They have a powerful positive message to give the listeners, and their fans are a loyal, positive following. They feel that the positive message in their lyrics is what makes their music unique. Blank Fasiz goes back to around 1995 when Aftamaf, KWE, and Mike Franco met in Providence. They formed the New Realm Record label, so that they could pursue their dream of positive hip-hop.They felt that the genre has far too much sex and violence in the lyrics, which is a bad influence for the youth.So, they undertook the self appointed position of teaching fans that a more positive type of hip-hop is in the groove. Blank Fasiz has a mission to complete, and we can expect to hear some powerful messages coming out of New Realm Records and Blank Fasiz.

here i have their first two releases from '98 (probably recorded in '97) on new realm records. somehow i never bought their «we came to blaze» ep from '99, which is solid as well. my winners are "mofa", "m.s.e.i.n.a.s." and "hartford park".

kaotic disciples of tha poet

as heard on the deerhuntaz mix back in march '08!

this is kaotic disciples from the bronx. raw disciple aka premise, soul disciple aka tha j.o.b. & dark disciple aka blakmaskingtape rock this record from '98.

"Out of the Bronx, pushing the periphery of circle, emerge the "Kaotic Disciples of tha Poet." By exploiting lyrics, imagination, creativity, and nonconformity, we expand hip-hop's circumference. Check out the new Maxi Single! "It'sAllKaotic v7.3" is the anthem. "Beats N' Rhymes" brings us back to the essence of hip-hop. Finally "The Collective" engulfs you in a sea of imagery and soulfulness. It's mesmerizing. There's something for everyone."

drop a comment in case you know about more releases. pretty nice twelve inch in my opinion. word!

KAOTIC DISCIPLES 12" '98

1. IT'S ALL KAOTIC V7.3
2. BEATS & RHYMES
3. THE COLLECTIVE

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.

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.

j.a.b

nice little 12" from the same label, which brought you the three brass tacks records.

canadian mc j.a.b (pronounced j.b), member of the guilty crime posse (gcp), released this three-tracker at the age of 19 in '98. productions by james stang, of which i had never heard before. i don't know what he had to do with brass tacks besides the same label, but they get a shout out in "serious".

"The first G.C.P album “The Turf’s Hot” followed with JB and his best friend and recording partner Toba Chung as the main features. He also executive produced the album, funding all of the recording and pressing and securing a PMD deal through Nuff Entertainment. The album was sold nationwide at major retailers.The deal resulted in appearances and performances on MuchMusic, and the release of their first video for the single “Crime Hits.” Shortly after, everything was shelved when a number of the main members of G.C.P went to prison. During this time, JB. released a number of solo tracks. Television and film producers also came knocking and several of his recordings were featured in Canadian and US productions."

jb is still out there and even released a track called "fire in ya eyes" with the game, which is pretty cool too:

i like all three tracks on this 12". definitely a good 12" to own.

J.A.B 12" '98

1. SERIOUS
2. MOVEMENTS
3. GHETTO FLOWS

enjoy

darcsyde pt.2

here we go again...

after my darcsyde post last april, i had to find out that there was another record from '98 i had never seen before. the 12", released on black hand entertainment, features two tracks. while you can forget about "what!", the b-side guards the cream right here! "pretender" somehow hit my taste since i first played it. i think this is one of their best tracks.

DARCSYDE 12" '98

1. WHAT!
2. PRETENDER

enjoy!

creative [denmark]

as predicted and requested, crates of ag starts a new series today. on focus are artists/ groups from other countries than canada or the us. i thought a good way to beginn would be a post about denmarks mc creative.

i'm pretty sure his first appearance on the scene was the cd single called "the exclusive presentation" which came out in 1996. almost every track by creative had been produced by the copenhaniacs (jaybiz, dj shok and creative).

CREATIVE "THE EXCLUSIVE PRESENTATION" CD SINGLE '96

1. NATURAL
2. ONE ON ONE
3. EXPECT WRECK
4. THE HARD WAY

two of the four tracks from the cd were featured on his first vinyl 12" in '97. broken records europe put out "natural" & "one on one".

CREATIVE 12" '97

1. NATURAL
2. ONE ON ONE

one year later, the same collaboration, production- and labelwise, released another 12" called "the presentation". a three-tracker featuring promoe of the looptroop and hi-tech. unfortunately i traded my copy of this one away..but check out nap3platez, which had a post about that one (did i trade it to you ron?!).

in the year '99, creative strikes back with an exclusive danish promo. "with subdo the mic" he put out a personal classic of mine. on the flipside you can find the very very 1st pressing of promoe's "off the record", which had three more different pressings afterwards.

PROMOE / CREATIVE PROMO '99

1. OFF THE RECORD
2. SUBDO THE MIC

and last but not least, creative put out another 12" in '00. besides "creatively wise" featuring copywrite & camu tao and "networking" featuring freestyle of the arsonists and knox, you'll get an exclusive demo version of "continuosly "from '97.

CREATIVE 12" '00

1. CREATIVELY WISE (FEAT. COPYWRITE & CAMU TAO)
2. NETWORKING (FEAT. FREESTYLE)
3. CONTINOUSLY (FEAT. HI-TECH & PROMOE)

use the comments section in case i forgot anything. and if anyone has the mentioned cd from '96, i'm eager to hear the other 2 tracks on there!

enjoy!

sick lyrical damager

100th post! let's put up something special...

in 1994/95 shazam x put out an ep with 5 cuts on freeze/ tnt records called "down for my crown". one track on there was called "scary thoughts" and featured a new face on the underground scene; sld aka sick lyrical damager from the bronx.

in '96 sld rereleased the slightly remastered "scary thoughts" on his first solo 12" on vmax entertainment. the record also had a brand new flipside track called "it's over", which was produced by shazam x as well.

SICK LYRICAL DAMAGER 12" '96

1. SCARY THOUGHTS
2. IT'S OVER

during the same year vmax put out another joint by sld, percee-p and shazam x called "respect costs more than money" which came with a picture cover.

SICK LYRICAL DAMAGER 12" '96

1. RESPECT COSTS MORE THAN MONEY (FEAT PERCEE-P)

as a result of his underground succes, sld formed his own label makin' millz entertainment, which put out the single "everybody" in '98. of course both tracks on that one were produced by shazam x again.

SICK LYRICAL DAMAGER 12" '98

1. EVERYBODY
2. MAKIN MILLZ

it had been pretty quite around sld afterwards....just until he returned with another name and concept. as lazy i, he still works with his former producer shazam x and they have even released a full length together.

i always loved sld's flow on all of these records..but i guess the "scary thoughts" 12" is still my favorite one!

enjoy!
