ra-capone / ra-kapone

a happy new year fam!

after some blogging holidays i've chosen to come back with two records from ra-capone.

unfortunately, i got no info here! all i see is that he slightly changed his name on the second release. both are on d&d records which makes me believe he's from the bronx (?). help me out here kids!

anyway, both are growers and shouldn't be too hard to get!

oh and by the way, are you bored at work or got no more free disk space on your computer– then check my lastfm profile (button on the left). all my mixes are available for live stream and download!

RA-CAPONE 12" '9x

enjoy!

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!

twisted mind kids

why not share an album i dig for ages.

in 1996 ainzboogie and plado put out an 8 track ep on no exit records. under the name of twisted mind kids they released a record called "twisted mind state". the whole lp rides on a similar groove as the dereliks did a year before with "a turn on the wheel is worth more than a record deal". plado later on was featured on burnt batch's lp "the produce aisle", which in my opinion rocks as well.

yup, that's all i know– not much. maybe some of you guys can enlighten me a bit about this records history.

TWISTED MIND KIDS "TWISTED MIND STATE" LP '96

1. RARE FORM
2. TREMENDOUS
3. TRUE HIP HOP
4. FINAL COUNTDOWN
5. BLURRED VISION
6. WHO'S LIVIN
7. CAN'T BE BEAT
8. I FEEL YOU

a bay area classic in my opinion. enjoy!

labtekwon - the ghetto gospel ep

right, baltimore again!

This is the debut ep of labtekwon aka omar akbar. this came out in '93 on black owned records and has six productions from '92/'93 on it.

"I made my first record in 1993, the Ghetto Gospel EP. It was released on Black Owned Records. 6 songs, 23 styles. I recorded the pre-production at Scotty B's studio in 1992."

i have to admit, this record was a real random buy a few years back. but while listening to this ep again and again, it became a real grower– for me at least. the kick off with "quiet storm" is perfect and at the same time my personal favorite followed by "csd". all of these tracks come rugged and rough and have a funky note as well. a perfect mix for my gusto. make sure to check this holy grail out!

LABTEKWON "THE GHETTO GOSPEL EP" '93

1. QUIET STORM
2. PHAROAH OF THE KAYO
3. HARD 2 DA CORP
4. COPTIC JIHAD
5. CSD
6. CHOCOLATE CHIP

you also need to check out the other stuff he released. for example the 12" as csd, several cd-r only releases or the latest project called 410 pharaohs.

enjoy!
