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:



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''.

  1. Nice stuff. MC Stinkweed was pretty cool. Guy just does all these punk and grindcore bands, decides one day to make a rap group and ends up making a really good album. Then just goes back to punk music. He's also in another rap group called Shadow People but I haven't bother. Rest in peace.
