blackmajik

since the last unknown track of volume 2 just got revealed, i thought i'd do a feature about it on coa.

it's pretty hard to find info about this record. obviously this ep, which is six tracks fresh, was put out by subrosa records, a london based label. but on the other hand it was recorded and mixed in brooklyn, ny. main feature on the record of course is blackmajik, but you'll find featurings by his due(?) fam members baby beretta, e-mega, cologne gotti, divine culture, justice & ill will. i'm not sure if the mc's are or were from the uk too. it's hard to say looking at their accents.

this ep with its hardcore vibe is a real gemm and pretty overlooked in my opinion. my tracks on here are "rotten apple" and "pass the axe".

please let us know, should you have more info about these cats.

BLACKMAJIK EP '96

1. TEFLON
2. 5+4=NINE
3. BRING IT IF YOU WANNA
4. INTRODUCIN' THE BLACKMAJIC
5. PASS THE AXE
6. ROTTEN APPLE

enjoy!

q ball & curt cazal

another couple, who doesn't need a big introduction! q ball and curt cazal, who was dj and producer of j.v.c. force (justified by virtue of creativity for all reasons concerning entertainment) from around '87-'92.

both together started their journey in '94 on vzq records with a 12" called "makin moves" to follow up one year later on the same label with "my kinda moves". in '96 they released a 12" called "tremendous" and one year later "unstoppable" both with mama mystique. their white label with "rock the spot" and "live & let die" should be from '98. the last two joints i want to show you are a collaboration with rae & christian from the uk and the track "boon dox" which was featured on a mystic brew sampler.

qnc are presently working with names like jay z, m.o.p., sauce money, boot camp clik, keith murray, mr. cheeks, big daddy kane, craig g, krumbsnatcha, afu ra, big jaz, etc....

update:

i asked aj rok about q-ball:

"...Q Ball was a cat that went to high school with Curt Cazal and B Luv (Im a little older) and started hanging with Curt more as JVC FORCE was in the process of breaking up. Q Ball may even be on a track on the 3rd album that was goin to come out on Big Beat and was never released, Im not quite sure but NO Q BALL WAS NEVER A MEMBER OF JVC FORCE.
Curt and him kinda did their thing after JVC FORCE broke up!"

enjoy!

powermoves

since the creators lp featured one of my favorite uk mc's i thought i'd dedicate this post to him. i'm talking about m.c.m..when i first heard his voice i thought this was mister voodoo from the natural elements fam..but it was one of the members of the group caveman with a solo project.

here you get his '94 release. put out on a white label (i have seen a picture cover version as well). you'll find 3 tracks on it and they are pure butter! straight on up again is produced by the creators. i don't know who did the others. me personally, i kinda stick to the soul remix.

let me know how you like this!
