A Bunch Of Random Records I Ripped, Pt.2 (Haych, DJ Rob One, Louie Phat Kat Vega, Milky Wayne & Ferb, Shed Dwellaz, Swamburger & BMF)

 

Part 2, let's go:

Here

Haych - The Debut - Pt.1 Of The Trilogy EP (1999, UK)

Haych is a british rapper from the group M.S.I. who released two albums in the 90es. 

This is his first solo effort on the Different Drummer label, and although it's called 'Pt.1 of a triolgy' I think they only released this one. 

I liked the track 'Havin A Laff' from the Raw Materials compilation so I blindly bought this one. I like his style as an MC, but the beats lack originality unfortunately. Still worth checking out.

DJ Rob One - Fly ID Show Breakbeats (mid 90es, LA)

No need to introduce what is probably one of the top 3 most influential hip hop DJ from LA, from the infamous CBS crew (by the way check the documentary about them if you haven't already).

Here is a breakbeat with various extracts from his infamous radio show called Fly ID.

Louie 'Phat Kat' Vega - Phat Kat Breaks & Beats Vol.1 EP (1995, NYC)

Louie Vega, producer mostly known for his work as a house producer in Masters At Work with Kenny Dope, also produced great breakbeat records as Phat Kat (no relation with the 'Dedication To The Suckers' Detroit MC). Another example is this great EP. I thought it would be easier to find, but I couldn't put my hands on it, so here it is.

Milky Wayne & Ferb Da Prokraz(10)nator - Delay Of Game (Beats, Breaks, Extramentals) (1999, San Diego, CA)

Back to the westcoast with Masters Of The Universe member/producer Milky Wayne for another split breakbeat with fellow Ferb which I admit I never heard of. This one was pretty tough to get for a while then all of a sudden a few copies popped up on discogs.

Shed Dwellaz - Redwood City's Most Hated EP (2001, Redwood City, CA)

If you can't put Redwood City on the map, it's in the Bay Area between SF and San Jose. 

Shed Dwellaz was comprised of MCs Stinkweed (RIP) and Tizoe and DJ Eons One who were also members of various legendary hardcore/grindcore bands from the Bay (Spazz, Plutocracy...). 

So their rap record definitely has an edge and it's pretty great, westcoast horrorcore at its best.

Swamburger & BMF - S.W.A.M. (Survival With A Mind) 12'' (2000, Orlando, FL)

This last one is by Floridian MC Swamburger and DJ BMF who also produced some instrumental records for New Breed back in the days. Pretty enjoyable 12''.

A Bunch Of Random Records I Ripped, Pt.1 (Cru Thik, CSD, Compound Elements, DJ Born, DJ Fingaz, Deerflesh)

 

Instead of having one entry per record, I decided to blend them randomly. 

So like I wrote, earlier rips probably exist somewhere but since I couldn't find them, I ripped those with records from my own collection.

Here

Cru Thik - Iron Kurtin Network EP (1999, Virginia)

That classic boom bap shit right here, doesn't reinvent the wheel but pretty solid effort.

A special mention for the track 'Lost Art' with it's hypnotic loop.

CSD - Hiyouwarncariat 12'' (1997, Baltimore MD)

I really, really, like Labtekwon. One of the most original MC/producer out there. 

Even though it's boom bap as well, you can always recognize a Labtek prod because of it's unique flavor, selection of sample and whatnot. And a great MC/ voice as well.

CSD is his crew witch Chinchilla and Supreme and it's their one and only 12''.

Compound Elements - Solutions 12'' (2002, Oakland CA)

A lesser known westcoast group, with what it's probably their best track. 

Cinematic atmosphere: check. Gang Starr sample in the chorus: check.

DJ Born - Presents... EP (2010, NYC)

The main track, 'What The World' sound so much like a Def Jux joint, I could almost hear Vast Aire's voice on it. This time we got rapper 2 Sides on it, with solid prod by DJ Born. The rest of the EP is instrumental. Too bad it wasn't released in 2001.

DJ Fingaz - Fundamentals Vol.1 EP (1998, San Diego CA)

This one is a rather classic battle break record from a 1200 Hobos member and (I think) Certified Records' owner.

Deerflesh - Glazed Donuts 12'' (2000, Minneapolis MN)

Don't know much about this rapper other he's part of the Litterthugz crew (St Louis / Minneapolis members, Mike The 2600 King, Doug Surreal, the gifted graphic artists Burlesque people -Aaron Horkey and such...). Not the most technical rapper but I thought the beat was interesting.
