Howard Lloyd - The Quickie EP

It's been a long time since we offered something from the east coast. 

I chose this rather confidential EP because I just recently bought a copy of the vinyl version.

It's from 2006 (precisely the year when lots of "indie rap heads" started to get bored of the scene, and probably rightly so) and it's pretty decent. There's 2 tracks I particularly like, -and by that I mean 'I particularly like the beat': "U Don't Want It" and "Throwbacks".

This last one is only on the vinyl version though. The link I offer got the full CD version tracks plus that bonus vinyl track.

Socialistik - Float To It 12''

This excellent '96 12'' single is by Sacramento's Socialistik.

I first heard it on japanese DJ S-Ky The Cookinjax' great "Represent Underground" mix-cd a few years ago. 

The instrumental is a somewhat bite (?) of DJ Cam's "Sang Lien" from his 95 Underground Vibes album. Love the hipnotic vibe.

Not sure if it's really rare, copies over discogs are expensive but there's still cheap copies floating on the web from time to time.

Hobo Junction - Secret Service (Demo Tape)

This tape has been floating on the web for some time, not sure if it's from the Ghetto Tyylit guys or else. There's also a rip on youtube with the Limited Edition artwork (no relation though).

So, no real artwork nor official tracklist exist to my knowledge but I've been able to figure some of the tracks in there. Some are demo version of later-released tracks from the Hobos, some are just unreleased. Any additional info would help, don't hesitate to hit the comment section.

Beware, the audio quality is like a 8th generation cassette dub.

James Ek-Sel - Demos

Just when you thought you had enough BAAC material for the next decade, here's a couple of additional gems from youtube: 2 demos from James Ek-Sel and a low quality rip for you.

Enjoy.

Plus! If you dug it here's James' Sweet Science Of Sin EP from his soundcloud:

Izm Da Mad Soul - S/T

Don't know much about Izm to be honest, apart the fact that he appears to be from Riverside, CA. 

He released this album in 2000 (cassette only?), made a couple appearances on wax (the nice It's Yours/ Illusiv 12'' and the Mo'Budded Phat Jointz EP compilation) and that's basically it.

For a westcoast MC his taste in productions is closer to say, a Zest or Third Sight than your common Californian MC: dark, cold and minimal vibe here.
