Late Night Marauders - Nardo Crunk (December 98)

From 98 to 2000, Mr. Carlos, Ben Shabazz, Aaron Cansler and myself had a radio show on KAOS 89.3 called "Late Night Marauders".  It was the peak of the Rawkus era and the emergence of electronica.   The skits from my "Basement Sessions" LP really were an accurate snapshot of the show.  (the goofing around etc.)

A couple years ago, Mr. Carlos hit me with a box of tapes he had of the show and I'm finally starting to rip them from the cassettes.  

I will slowly be ripping the shows and find the best way to host them for people to hear and download.  Till then, check out the "Nardo Crunk" episode from December 98.

UPDATE:  As the new episode is posted, the prior one will be deleted from the Soundcloud page and put in the archive.  Use the following link to hear and DL other episodes.

Prince Po, Moka-Only, Dawhud - "Don't Front (We Gotcha')"

This is probably one of the high points of all the tracks I've worked on.  As a kid growing up, the thought of actually working with people you have pictures of on your wall or binder is just some crazy ish.  There are a LOT of stories behind this song... who was involved, how it went down, what it could have been, but it probably couldn't have come out any other way AND it's classic the way it IS.  

The short story and the one that matters...

1st heard this jam, Mr. Carlos Walkman/
On the bus rollin home with a Source in my hand/
Last page, Sure Shot, as the cassette drops/
Baby a$$, so smooth ride till the wheel stops/
Had the poster, torn from the magazine/
Binder gloss framed like a backpacker vaccine/
Front on a classic, other legends with the sickness/
Man I'm out 5,000, back to the crate business/

That's how I first heard Black Moon's - "I Gotch' Opin (remix)".  This was one of those pivotal moments in my journey through 90s hip hop.  That song was one of the cuts that made me pretty much quit listening to west coast rap music and jump on almost anything east coast related.  I already was into Tribe, Gangstarr, Diamond D and Wu, but this kind of sealed the deal. 



That being said, I HAD to flip this cut and pay my respects to one of my favorite tracks of all time! And what better way to do it than to have some of the emcees you've looked up to for SO long on the track.  (Prince Po and Moka Only)

Don't Front...
