[instrumentals] tru comers ctr-002 / competition

as you may have read on our facebook page, i got a nice package from the tru comers in the mail this week! i have not been warned about this release before- so what is it all about?

«what’s good y‘all?! It’s been quite a while since our last release and during that period quite alot happened also. about 1 ½ years ago we moved our studio into a new location, added a lot of production-gear; we got into a new world of production and surrounding.

so actually that was the start of this new release event hough we didn’t know that at this time. We were just making beats allday ending up with tons of discs and many joints; to make a long story short: out of those beats we took 10, arranged and mixed them, added 2 skits and here you go: CTR-002!!! (btw they fucked up the runout and wrote CRT-022 instead of CTR-002, goddammit)

gear we used: mp2500, mp2000xl and the heart of our production environment 2x S950 and 2x sp1200. to us this project is kinda special cause it represents the crazy time we just been through. the whole record is kinda like a roadtrip through the last 1 ½ years. you probably gotta listen to the record several times to really grow into it and feel that ish. anyway, we just hope ya’ll enjoy the record!

ohh and it's a limited edition of 300 copies– so get yours now!

merry belated christmas and a happy nuyear!

peace, tru comers»

i can only underline their message– it's a real grower! make sure you order your copy fast, the other 2 releases had been sold out pretty fast. also. as usual i can provide the full record as mp3. and if that wasn't good enough- i received an extra copy for one of my readers!

competition:

how to win your copy: i need a new slogan for my site. i want to replace "nothing but ag thang". send me an email with suggestions. this competition ends on new years eve.

tru comers- the remix ep competition winner

this is not a fake! the first correct email won!

congratulations to our dear hannah aka Ho1ogramz!

tru comers- the remix ep / competition

finally, switzerland enters the indy scene with a brillant remix ep by the tru comers! none other than the freestyle professors, the alps cru and the dysfunkshunal familee are featured on this little nugget here on comin tru records!

"two and a half years ago we did a remix project with beats of us no one intended to use. we added accapellas and here's the final result:

http://sns-crates.blogspot.com/2007/04/tru-comers-remix-project.html

then in the beginning of 2008 we thought we should do another remix project– but this time on vinyl! so we asked several artists for exclusive accapellas and in the end we managed to get these three and then started to produce the beats for them. unfortunately the whole project really took its time...


the tru comers are dj sperrow and dj x-pert. we are producing beats since the age of 14/15 and we also did the scratches on this remixes.

This product is strictly non profit- we're even if we manage to sell each and every copy."

what can you expect of this ep? well, you'll get 3 remixes, the 3 instrumentals, plus 2 bonus beats. the record is limited to 300 copies. the best thing– it only costs $20, which in my opinion is pretty cheap nowadays. also, they are offering a tru comers t-shirt.



again, i'm honored to bless my readers with full tracks– big up for that! and, you know me... i have 1 FREE COPY TO GIVE AWAY!

the competition:

to win this you have to download their first remix project, then send an email to cratesofag at hispeed dot ch in which you tell me how many tracks the first tru comers project had (excluding intro and instrumentals). all correct answers will get numbered in the exact same order as i received them. then i will play dice. the first throw will decide how many times i roll the die, and then every run will be added. for example: first throw says 3- then i have to roll the die three times resulting in these numbers: 4 + 2 + 3 = 9. answer number 9 won. this competition ends on 1. august 2009!

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
