The Library Crew - Bibliotechnitians Vol.1


This is the Library Crew cassette, an old project from 1997 that consisted of Subtitle, Memorex, Premonition and the Lexicon guys.
Here's What Subtitle said about it in an interview for Hiphopcore.net a few years ago:

"That started when we were in high school. That was Lexicon (which is Oak and Nick Fury), Number Crunchers (myself and DJ Memorex), Premonition, Dramatic, Recon and this dude C-Trouble, whom I think he's doing porn or something right now. There was also lots of friends walking in and out of the group… But it all started when we were in Oxnard and every Friday we'd all go to Santa Barbara to freestyle on Mums The Word's show. He had this show at this radio station at the UCSB (the Santa Barbara college) that everybody went to, like the Project Blowed, KanKick, CDP and all those dudes… We would all roll out there, we were all real young and we all ended up meeting up. We kicked it a little bit and got along so we did songs and ended up calling ourself a crew. I had the name in my head 'cause I worked at the library at my high school at the time so I said : "Let's just call it the Library crew". We made a cassette "Bibliotechnicians Vol. 1" in 1997.

There was also a group in the Library called Rector Set, that was me and Scribble, but we never recorded any song because Scribble was a dick head at the time. Matter of fact, when we did "Bibliotechnicians", we had left him, we didn't even tell him we were going to record the project… which is some dick-head-shit. I just called him when I got home to play him some songs over the phone and he just hung up on my face of course. Library went on about 3 years. We did some shows and were going to work on more material but then everybody started moving further away… I moved out to L.A., Lexicon moved out to L.A., Premonition and Dramatic would come to hang out but you wouldn't hear from the other dudes. Memorex moved out to L.A. and we would hang out a bit but he was doing other stuff, he wasn't deejaying as much. "

Lab Waste - Monochrome World + Tour Mix-CD




This one is a tour-only cd-r from Lab Waste's 2008 Crev Or Die Tour. The tour was something like 8 shows in France (plus one in Netherlands I think).
Lab Waste was the super duo formed by 2 influential figures of the westcoast underground: Subtitle (aka Giovanni Marks, Westcoast Workforce and Shifters affiliate, released dope super lo-fi albums - some on GSL, giant and super-fast talker) and Thavius Beck (aka Adlib, Global Phlowtations, released dope instrumental albums on Mush, worked with Saul Williams and Trent Reznor, more the quiet type).

Their first album Zwarte Achtegrond (2005) is an underrated classic of rap & electronica blend (to put it in context it was the era "glitch rap" was the hip thing for the average rap fan.. so it was right on point and put them on some slight more media exposure despite a relatively unknown label). 

Some tracks on this album where supposed to be featured on their next album, and it's still weird to think labels like Big Dada or Lex passed and prefered to bet on stuff like Jneiro Jarel or Spank Rock. Anyways... This is a collection of those unreleased tracks and remixes.
There's also a mix Subtitle did for the iHeartComix blog at the end, plus! I added another 24 minutes long continuous mix Lab Waste were selling as another merch cd on this very tour (it was another item with no title or artwork).

Subtitle - King Ghost 7''


This is 'the' infamous 24-copy only raer Subtitle clear 7''. 
Got mine from Deeskee a few years ago. What you got is a not-so-good rip from my vinyl.
For the rest, let's quote discogs:

Originally it was planned as a single for Subtitle’s first album on GSL, but only 24 copies were made. 

Subtitle’s PC crashed and he lost the whole material of the album. That’s why the production of the single was stopped and instead he recorded new tracks, which are the today version of “Always Recovering from Tomorrow”. 

This record has a blank yellow label with no information at all about the artist, release year and track titles. The only mark is scratched in the runout groove ('GSLXXX-A' for the a-side and 'GSLXXX-B' for the b-side, respectively).
