Philly Lo-Lifes, Da Buze Bruvaz rep "The City of Broverly Love" to the max!!!
Ever since they were young boys these blood brothers (Him Lo and Clever One) repped the culture. MC'ing was the last element of Hip Hop that they took their hands to and Philly was always a major city for B-Boy culture. As well as cats like Steady B, Schooly D and Cool C doin music, the graf and breaking scene went as hard as anywhere. Him-Lo remembers that you could feel Hip Hop "in the air" back in the late 70s and early 80s. Even goin out for a ride in his parents' car he was in awe of the throw-ups and pieces which coated the inner city walls. As a kid he always knew he'd never be able to shake it - he'd be livin Hip Hop for the whole of his life. Ha, and that's been a while - Him-Lo is now 39 and his younger brother Clev One is 35 - and this is the first time they have released a physical product. Why?
The boys have been droppin rhymes since around 1992, when they started to become more serious about the craft. They were involved in a part-time crew called Bermuda Triangle. It was hard gettin stuff done cause members were in and out of jail or dealing with various addictions. The brothers too had been naughty boys!! Typically, they were both thrown out of their respective high schools for writing on the walls and before long they were jackin' cars. They were introduced to Lo-Life B-Bill through a chick they knew called Big Shirley who used to go out boostin' and would hide the gear in her fat rolls (!!). B-Bill AKA Michael Culley, one of the founding fathers of the Lo-Life movement, had moved from Brooklyn New York and the boys started to hang out around 1993 and that's when their Lo boostin addiction began. Cats didn't have money to cop Lo, so boostin' was the only way to look dipped. The brothers would be out on the daily destroying racks. I asked Him-Lo about any particular boostin adventures he'd been on. He told me about one mission that always made him laugh when he looks back. He'd been boostin for most of the day, in and out of different stores in Philly. In one store that afternoon they noticed some store workers talkin on walkie talkies, so they bustin out and Him's homie Ant jacked a Cutlass Ciera. They drove the stolen vehicle down some back streets and got caught up in (of all things) a police block party. Appropriately Lo, they found themselves swervin between police horses and cars, while carryin mad garms and ridin in a stolen vehicle. Him remembers just jumpin out the car while it was still rolling and sneakin' off down the subway stairs and gettin the hell out. They always had a lot of fun and always ended up with ill GEAR.

KEEFY KEEF - CAUSE I'M KEEFY KEEF 1992 EP
This story begins around 1992 in a basement of a house in Central Islip in Long Island, NY. The house belonged to an aunt of J.V.C.F.O.R.C.E member, one Curt Cazal. Curt's cousin, three years his junior had fixed up the basement with a barbershop chair and a bunch of his high school friends would hang out down there when they got out of school and on the weekends. Curt and his cousin would cut hair in the style of the day and cats would hang out the whole afternoon checkin music on the radio or listen to mixtapes on a boom box. If an instrumental came on, an impromtu cypher might start up and Curt had the opportunity to check out a lot of young, local talent. Since J.V.C.F.O.R.C.E had been in a deal for several years, Curt was always looking to put on local C.I. talent and get them heard and signed up to labels. It was at one of these fade-n-rap gatherings that he heard a local 18 year old MC rhyme for the first time.
Keith Murray had some minor experience in the Rap biz. His uncle had been a bodyguard for Big Daddy Kane and he had gone along to a few shows with him. One time Kane was playing at the Nassau Colliseum and he was taken along with a few of his cousins to see the show. His uncle Born would usually encourage the young upstart to spit rhymes for his buddies but at this show he took him backstage and had him perform for the whole Juice Crew. That was his very first experience fraternising with rap pro's.
As we all know J.V.C.F.O.R.C.E had a deal with Idlers (a subsidiary of Warlock). Idlers had a made a lot of money selling The Jungle Brothers on to Warners after "Straight Out the Jungle" dropped, so they were investing in a lot of fresh, new acts. Curt had a deal with Idlers and played them the "Cause I'm Keefy Keef" joint he had written with Keith. He managed to get an advance from them to record several more tracks with the L.I MC. Curt still had commitmnents with J.V.C.F.O.R.C.E who were in the deal with Big Beat Records at that time (see the 2 J.V.C.F.O.R.C.E records we dropped with the unreleased deal material!). Due to a combination of touring, recording and Keith wanting to get his shit poppin, the rest of the Keefy tracks were never fully completed. Around this time Keef met and then signed with Erick Sermon and got features on Sermon's "No Pressure" album on "Hostile" and "Swing It Over Here" - and the rest is history. He becomes part of the Def Squad crew along with EPMD and Redman and drops his debut album and single "The Most Beautifullest Thing In This World" on Jive in 1994.
Now, we've been working with Curt since last year (2012) when we dropped the first of the J.V.C.F.O.R.C.E records and in early 2013 we worked together on the Q-Ball & Curt Cazal - Makin Moves 1994 EP. We inquired about the Keefy Keef joints and discovered that all that was left of them were some old Ampex reels (see the sticker art). Curt grabbed an old 8-Track to preview the tracks which he hadn't revisited for over 20 years. On listening he came to the conclusion that the tracks weren't clean enough for conversion and release, so he took the very risky step of "baking" the tapes to bring them back to life.
Baking:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky-shed_syndrome
What we have for you is something very special indeed. The baking process was indeed successful and 5 tracks + 1 acapella were salvaged. We have the original demo version of 'Three's Company" which appeared on the [bootleg & bootleg of the bootleg] 12", but this version has an unheard verse by Curt at the beginning of the track. We also have the version "Cause I'm Keefy Keef" that was "released'. But that's not all - we have 3 amazing bonus joints that have never been heard/leaked: Flow Swifty + Acapella, Lethal Dosage and what was surely destined to be a hit single, "Thoughts My Brain Consume". This archiving process and the results we have achieved is one of the highlights of all the work we've been doing over the past few years. So please, grab an L or an OE brew, chill the f*ck out and BLAST these snippets real loud and check out the very first recordings of Keith "Keefy Keef" Murray.......KA-BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

A1 Three's Company (Original Demo)
A2 Thoughts My Brain Consumes
A3 Flow Swiftly

SANDINISTAS - MADD LUV EP
What? Another NYC 1997 Indie Grail????? NO DOUBT SONNNNNNN....
There is pretty much zero information about this record on the internet. All there is, is evidence of its scarcity, it's value on the dealer market (expensive!) and the fact that Wu-Tang Clan engineer and drummer Carlos Bess and his C-12 crew (DJ Choko, DJ I-CUE and Ray Rondon) produced all tracks as well as some demo joints from the short recording lifespan of this group.
Sandinistas consisted of 2 MC's, Devine and Lon. They came up in the Cobble Hill area of Brooklyn NY. A photographer friend of Carlos' called Danny Castro hired the 2 to be his photo assistants. During one photo job Danny happened to hear the 2 cats rap and off the back of that encounter decided to fund and exec-produce a project featuring the 'group'. He called in famed and much-experienced Hip Hop producer Bess and his C-12 team, to produce a single and according to Bess 1000 copies were pressed (as usual, i highly doubt it was more than 500 - unless - as is my usual conjecture, some were lost, burned or Harry-Houdini'd the f*ck away). Most copies were sold to individuals, friends and friends of the family and nothing came of it. They did a few shows after the drop and that was it - another dope, defunct Hip Hop act. All that's left is a crazy rare 12" and now this re-mastered repress of the 3 original tracks with 3 unheard joints and 2 bonus instrumentals. And that's it!!! Ha - But what's not IT is the end of our newfound relationship with one of the most underrated artists to come out of Hip hop music. This is just the first part of an archiving of Carlos Bess' lost material. Watch out - this series could run for a while and hit HARD.....

NEW ENGLAND HIP HOP MASSIVE
This story begins at the very dawn of Hip Hop culture. Quazar Shaw moved from Memphis to Brooklyn in 1976 at the age of 11. Soon after his arrival in the Rotten Apple, a friend of the family took him up to the Bronx to witness a new street culture that was emerging out of the projects and parks, well before it had made its way down to Brooklyn and the other boroughs of NYC. Like many others, he was instantly inspired and started practising on a set of decks he had access to through a family member, messin' around with 2 copies of the pop music of the day and extending breaks for friends to rhyme over. He was 13 when he had his first gig (!!) in a now defunct club in Queens called 'Foxy Lady'. The promoter would lock him in the DJ booth with a bottle of soda water and a bag of chips and gave the responsibility of rockin the dancefloor to this hip young cat.
In 1981, when he was 16 years old, the family moved out to New Britain, Connecticut. Armed with an overly developed music knowledge, turntable skills, NYC club experience and 'authentic ' [read on] street smarts, he found it easy to meet other cats who were into club and B-Boy culture and so entered into the local scene with ease. On the scene he ran into Harold Sargent, drummer from 70s cult disco group Wood, Steel and Brass and famed local disco producer, through friends the Busy Boys (who were to record on B-Boy Records several years later). Sargent owned Love Sound Studios in Hartford, a short drive from New Britain. An experienced artist and producer, he increased Quazar's musical knowledge even further and exposed him to the professional music industry for the first time. In 1985 while travelling uptown on the city bus he saw a young MC dropping lyrics to a crowd of random kids and then ran into the same cat again in a local club. The kid was called Adrenalin and the two formed a group called the Def Duo (see above). They played a few shows and stayed working together for several years. Quazar rocked clubs and the radio (WRTC 89.3fm) for the rest of the 1980's promoting Hip Hop music and dope music in general, throughout Connecticut.
Back in 1982 when he first arrived in CT, Quazar had met a young Hispanic MC who went by the name of Holocaust Frost. Frost was a hardcore street cat - his rhymes were always freestyles, he never wrote anything down. His style was raw and he LIVED the contents of his rhymes. Quazar became Frost's DJ for shows mid-way through the 80's and by 1989 they had recorded a few tracks together. Frost was managed by his uncle Greg Rose. Rose had sent one track the two had written, entitled "The Mind is a Universe" to some college kids who were about to set up a label and were advertising a competition for local acts, with the prize being a record deal with their new label called DFO. Neither Frost nor Quazar were aware of the fact that Rose had done this and one day they got a call to say they had a won a competition (that they didnt know about) and that they were to head up to Springfield, MA to meet with the label owners. When they got up there the 2 college kids were all over them, telling them that they were exactly what they had been looking for and how they were the 'authentic thing' and 'real street dudes'. Frost and Quazar were like, OK, someone's interested, they trusted their manager and thought, lets do this. They were invited back the following week to sign a deal. They returned, but the boys weren't happy with the contract - they thought it contained too much jargon and irrelevant clauses designed to give the label the upper hand. The college kids must've overstepped the mark somehow because the meeting turned into a brawl with our boys shouting to these clean cut kids 'You wanna see the real authentic thing?' while grabbing them by the throats!! This was a regular occurence it seems - Frost didn't take any shit from anyone so there seems to have been many ocassions when the odd loose word resulted in an ass-kicking. He was after all, the authentic thing street MC.
After this initial 'hiccup' the situation was cleared up by manager Rose and still wanting to work with Frost, the DFO kids ammended the agreement and they ending up signing the deal. Two weeks later they drove over to Pinetrax Studios in Holyoke, MA to re-record a track they had written in 1989 (The Mind is a Universe), updating the lyrics just slightly to keep things fresh (apparanty all Frost did was change the year from 1989 to 1993!). They met the other winners of the competition when they got there. A crew called Subversive Element, which contained the 2 members of underground Hip Hop group Raw Produce in their first Hip Hop guise: Damian Roskill, Seth Boyd (R.I.P) and Hispanic MC M.I.A. Also there was a host of MC's from different crews from all over the New England area: Top Cat, The Great Poet, Chapter 10 and The Weopon. The idea was to write a new track for the record including all the talent that the label had amassed from the competition. The problem was that once the young 'producers' got into the studio they soon realised they didnt know shit about production. They were sayin stuff like, "So who's gonna produce this" and "Anyone have any ideas?". Quazar had a bag of breaks on him and was chatting to Dave Pine, the owner of the studio, about gear and the automated desk (which fascinated him). He asked Pine to loop up a break for him and instantly Frost was like "I can rhyme over this", so he started freestyling. The other MC's were vibing and started writing lyrics and Quazar cut up other breaks over the top and started to layer the track up live. After 30 mins practise they went in on it and recorded the track and that was it - Grail (or pretty much a live mix) completed. They also threw on the record the re-working of the Frost joint from 1989 that they had recorded in Harold Sargent's studio and the Subversive Element boys' "The Time Bombs Exploded" and "BOOM, BOOM BOOM that was how it went..".
The DFO kids had little to no experience promoting and the record never did anything. Quazar spun it on his radio show but apart from that it never got an further spins. It was suggested that the DFO guys might've just thrown the wax into storage back then and that somewhere there is a sealed stash of these ridicously in-demand records - which makes a nice myth - so we'll leave it at that. Frost and Quazar did 2 more shows after the release of the record and one ended in another fight - crazy authentic son. And that was the end of the New England Hip Hop massive. So via Quazar, we managed to get recordings directly from the original reels from 1993 and we included a never heard demo joint taken from cassette produced by DJ Quazar and featuring MC Adrenaline (from the short lived crew Def Duo). TBH the recordings of the tracks were never really THAT high quality cause of the nature of the studio session - this record had and still has that fast rap/megamix feel from probably 4/5 years earlier - the vocals weren't recorded particularly well, but the bottom end KNOCKS - and we think we have captured the feel of the session from back in 1993. Peep it yo:
Tracks:
A1 New England Hip Hop Massive - The Line Up feat. Holocaust Frost, Chapter 10, The Great Poet, CIA, DJ Vic & Top Cat
A2 Holocaust Frost - The Mind is a Universe
B1 Subversive Elements - Time Bombs Exploded
B2 Adrenalin - Who's Next
I, like many fans of Hip Hop culture, was very saddened to hear about the passing away of Raw Produce Productions artist Seth Boyd aka Cadence from Raw Produce. I actually contacted him a few months ago about this project to get his blessing, which he did graciously give. When I heard the news, it was particularly shocking as we have had this record in the pipeline for a while. We dedicate this release to his memory.

----------------------------------------------------
Lets give a warm welcome to the Sunshine Boys of underground Hip Hop, Epidemic aka Hex-One & Tek-Nition.
Hex-One aka Christian Ortega was born in Columbia but at an early age his family moved to Elmhurst, Queens (you KNOW we had to get QU in there somehow!!). Hex's influences are varied. His father used to 'rhyme' using a traditional form of Columbian improvised call-and-response style comedy which he brought with him from South America. He and his buddys would hang out droppin rhythmical smarts at parties and social gatherings and the young Christian, suitably impressed, would constantly be asking his dad to 'kick a rhyme pop'. This would probably be his first experience of rhyme performance. Growing up in the borough of Queens added his next layer of influence. In his early teens the hard, cold East Coast 'boom bap' style permeated the 'musical part of his brain' and he took that with him when his family relocated once again to Hollywood (the MORE glamorous one) in Florida, just north of Miami.
Within the space of 2 days, 2 young cats moved to Hollywood, FL. One being our boy Hex, the other, one Edwin Canela (aka Tek-Nition). Edwin had grown up and lived just south of Miami in Homestead, which, if you know your Sunshine State geography is hemmed in by the Florida Everglades on the west, the Atlantic Ocean on the east and is the last city you pass on the way to the Keys. Both cats had been born in the same month (April) of the same year 1989 and showed up at the same new school, Hallandale High School, within a couple of days of each other. You could say both were misfits - in a new neighbourhood, both came with different musical influences from most of the other kids there. At this point they had both played around with rapping and writing rhymes and once they realised the other was a fan of the art of mc'ing and Hip Hop culture in general, they began to hang out. They would perform at lunch times in the cafeteria, trying out new verses, dropping them over instrumentals. They honed their craft over a couple of years and in 2006 put together a series of verses over their favourite Hip Hop beats which they eventually ending up 'shelving' like Ikea.
After a couple of years working on music, frustrated by the sound quality and his lack of recording expertise, Hex moved to Arizona to pursue a degree in sound engineering. He qualified in 2010 and immediately hooked up with a beat maker he had worked with in the past, 5th Element, to recreate the mixtape with original beats. That joint, which they worked on for a few months, was their first release 'Illin Spree' which they dropped on CD and digital in 2011 on their own label Mic Theory records. Soon after that drop, nourished by the positive feedback, they began work on their follow-up project 'Monochrome Skies'. They were put on to a Luxembourg- based producer (has HE ever lived in Queens? MUST have!!) called Jesse James through a mutual 'online friend' and instantly dug his sound. After receiving about 5 solid beats from Jesse the boys realised that they could work with this dude on a full album of material. Given the vast distance between the artists, they worked on the project via the internet and dropped the release in 2012. 'Monochrome Skies' while still being an 'underground' Hip Hop project, received huge support on the internet from fans of the genre which reached our ears some time that year. Now enough chat of exotic climates and more Queens references - peep the reel:

Chopped Herring Recs presents DJ Woody - 'Fly Fishing'
Chopped Herring Records was founded back in 2001. The same year DJ Woody became the first European DJ to win the International Turntablist Federation World Championships. At that time Herring HQ was located in Manchester, a 40 minute drive through Lancashire to Woody's hometown of Burnley. Chopped Herring Records' owner Pro Celebrity Golf and Woody had crossed paths on numerous times spinnin' in Manchester and the North West of England during the 90's, so it only seems natural (like the migration of Herring in the Baltic Sea) that C.H Recs and DJ Woody should 'hook up' for a mix at some point. 'Fly Fishing', a selection of released and unreleased tracks on Chopped Herring Records, mixed by DJ Woody is something we've been thinking about for some time. Since the Herring catalogue has grown dramatically in the last couple of years it seemed an appropriate time to get in touch with one of the greatest DJ's to ever do it to de-bone some Herring fillets in his inimitable, flavasome way. Chopped Herring Records and DJ Woody proudly present 'Fly Fishing'..
