overdose

pretty unknown release to me from south boston, which kross fade records put out in '93. the group goes by the name of overdose. on "booty kall" you get featurings by sandman & hardcore. you will recognize the sample used in "countin' em up" which had been used by half-a-mil a year later. i stick to half-a-mil's version but i also like the funky flute used in this one. also i like how they flipped the sample in "booty kall" (famous break- but i can't name the title right now). nothing groundbreaking here, but worth a shot.

OVERDOSE 12" '93

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. THE PRIZUM CONSIST OF MANY GROUPS (ALIEN NATION, SUPERNATURAL, E.T.C., TEAM 2080, THE OL' GUY, SEKOU (NOV), PHEONIX ORION, DG SANDZ PRODUCTIONZ, THE QUEEN LENA,MY BABY RUTHIE, MY SIS WANDA, AND CAN'T FORGET THE NATION OF THE LOST TRIBE."

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.

1. K-PEE "BACK IN THE DAYS"
2. K-PEE FEAT. ALIEN NATION "NEW YORK-PARIS FREESTYLE"

spectrum live

i was disappointed when i listened to this 12" for the first time. somehow it didn't hit my taste back then. but a few months later, i dug it out again and suddenly felt differently about it. now i really like two tracks on this one- especially the original mix of "50 grand" with its dark and heavy vibe. but "stay true" is good as well and constantly growing on me.

again, not enough info about this crew. released in '97 and produced by eleet. that's all i have right now.

SPECTRUM LIVE 12" '97

1. 50 GRAND RMX
2. 50 GRAND OG
3. STAY TRUE

the militia

the good, the bad and the militia on crates of ag

i got no info about this crew consisting of two mc's from jamaica, queens. the self-produced 12" was released on wild east desperado records in '95.

while "wild wild east" (which samples "the good, the bad and the ugly" by ennio morricone) is already pretty satisfying, i prefer the b-side cut "militia klick".

THE MILITIA 12" '95

1. WILD WILD EAST
2. MILITIA KLICK
