Elusive - Prototype II + Origin Void



Those are rare (elusive?) tapes by Elusive that I was chasing for years and that the homie Chris sent me recently... not E's best tapes but when you're a completist, you're always happy to feel like a specific part of your quest is over. They're both from 1998, with untitled beats (no featurings) and sold at shows and on the old school llcrew website.

Enjoy!

Frontpage - S/T + Focus

 


Hey, it's a been a while.
I recently bought those excellent finnish tapes that I was looking for for a long time... Frontpage (Bakh and DJ Sketch aka Vinston) made 3 short tapes between 1996 and 1997, and only the third one "Organik" is easier to find. One of the best track from that first tape, "A Sign" also leaked on some youtube channel years ago.
Here's the full 2 first tapes, 'Frontpage' and 'Focus' ripped by myself.
Enjoy!

I already shared the tapes with Potlood who posted it on his youtube channel:





Frontpage (1996):

A
Opening
Guides ft. Skem

B
100.3 FM
Keep It Movin'
A Sign ft. Andee


Focus (1996):

B

To Ya Arena ft. Rhyme Freaka

VA - S-U-B-U-R.-B. Inc - Embryonic Concoctions

 


This one is a rather short 1998 compilation from San Jose. 5 tracks only but pretty good ones.
I had no idea it even existed until recently when Style Misia put it forward. I have been lucky to catch a copy so here's my rip. It won't dissapoint if like me you love the SJ scene.

On a side note, I often see my rips ending up in the next 24 hours on some big youtube underground hip hop channels with all of the sudden their logo all over my scans. I know it's part of the game but have the decency to put your source in the comments at least, I'd appreciate.





No relation but if you haven't copped it yet, got buy this essential CVE vinyl recently released:

https://nyegenyegetapes.bandcamp.com/album/chillin-villains-we-represent-billions


And if you're bank account allows it, please consider this 4LP Dereliks compilation that will be out end of august:

Enjoy,

Buck 65 & Graymatter - Johnny Rockwell Meets Henry Krinkle

 


This is a somewhat rare tape collaboration from 1998 between Buck 65 and fellow canadian producer Graymatter (also credited as Graematter here and there).
Allegedly there's about 20 copies that were handmade and sold for the 1998 Scribble Jam. The number seem a bit odd considering it's one full hour of new and original tracks.. and no filler.
This is one of Buck's most dark and minimal work in my opinion, reminiscent of the Sebutones project with Sixtoo, and it's very, very good if you like this side of Buck's work. Lots of instrumentals and turntablism on this as well, and, well, incredible beats, as always...

It's pretty crazy this hasn't seen a proper reissue yet (ok, I know I write this every time), and even odd-er the only rips (I counted 3 differents) you found on slsk are all pretty bad.. either overpitched, or sounding like 96kbps mp3, or just.. incomplete. Which is better than nothing, I guess... But I always really wanted to hear the full tape in decent quality.

I've been lucky enough to score one of those tape recently and here's my rip, 320kbps and properly pitched.

Enjoy!



About 18 untitled tracks.

Oyakata & DJ Nozawa - Sounds Carried By Hakobune -2

 


This is a pause-mixtape from Japan made in the early 2000s (no exact info on this), by Mary Joy Recordings' A&R Norihiro Higo aka Oyakata (responsible among others for the Tags Of The Times compilations) and his pal DJ Nozawa from the Terracotta Troops that just put some scratches here and there on the selection.
It's more a selection than a real mixtape per say, the tracks are not mixed but more put back to back.

I bought it solely on the premise of the Mary Joy 'fame' and was pretty happily surprised to see such a deep westcoast underground tracklist, with a lot of Project Blowed affiliated crews represented here.

Talking about the tracklist, well, there's no info but I've recognized most of the cuts out there.
Feel free to fill the gaps and post on the comments section.

This is the second volume and I'll put the first one sometime soon.
Enjoy!
