Phoenix Orion - Zimulated Experiencez

Another Celestial Recordings banger. This seems to be more like a producer vs. producer album than a solo album. Daddy Kev and Hive lay down beats as hell while Phoenix Orion raps on them. This is no ordinary album but it is really spaced out and full of style. You could name it a Dr. Octagon album from L.A. with its style and its crazy lyrics. If you haven't checked it before be sure to check it now and don't forget the hidden bonus track!

Beneath The Surface...

This is one of the few albums that still amazes me after rotating it since 1998.

It casts LA's most prolific rappers paired with Omid's deep going beats leading you to a 82 minutes lasting journey. You just have to enter the bus and to enjoy the ride...

Additional note:
The compilation was first self released by Omid himself in a limited run in form of a 3xLP and a CD in 1998. In 1999 came a 12" EP, a 3xLP and CD on Celestial Recordings. The full length Celestial Recordings releases have a different track listing than Omid's self released ones. On the first release there are the tracks "Surveillance", "What Up" and "Outsider" which aren't on the second release while on the 2nd there are "Subterranean Service" and "To The Turn Of The Earth" which aren't on the first release. Furthermore the second press vinyl consists of 3 records where only 2 records contain the vocal versions while the third has some instrumentals! Some people say that there was also a repress of the 2nd 3xLP. Later on, there also came a CDr and a 2xLP with the instrumentals and a re-release of the first CD.
Taking the instrumentals from the 2nd 3xLP version and the Instrumental CDr there are only 3 instrumentals missing: "You are in my clutches", "What Up?" and "Outsider" which is the same beat as on "Line Postin' in Pedro". For "You are in my clutches" I can remember that I once read that Omid doesn't know where his original ADAT recording is, so we probably will never see this one :(

Aceyalone - A Book Of Human Language + Beats(Re-Rip)

On the re-issue of the Instrumentals CD of this album Mumbles shared some detailed informations. He was introduced into digging records and beat making by his brother DJ Marvski and Cut Chemist and started producing in '92-'93 where he also made most of the beats for this album. Mumbles and AC went to the same school and when the rumor spread that AC is recording an album at Capitul, a friend of Mumbles handed a beat tape of Mumbles to AC and so they hooked up together. They recorded the tracks "The Greatest Show On Earth" and "Makeba" that were released on the album "All Balls Don't Bounce". Surprisingly, "Guidelines" was also recorded for the same album but they couldn't figure out the origin of the samples and the track didn't made it onto the album.
There is no info why "A Book Of Human Language" wasn't also released by Capitul but Mumbles has written that NuGruv, the label that manufactured and distributed the album, went bankrupt and in the end Mumbles and AC weren't paid properly :(

The re-release of the instrumental album btw has some different mixes and one or two tracks on it that weren't on the original album!
I have ripped the instrumentals CD again today because I have realised that I have uploaded the wrong rip the last time which had some errors. Sorry for that but now the quality is ok.

The Anonymous - Green & Gold

Today there is the CD version of the Green & Gold EP that was also released on vinyl but with less tracks. The group is called The Anonymous before that their name was Moonshine and before that it was Vertigo. Under the name Moonshine they released the album "Weep No More" plus two 12"es off it. As Vertigo they released the album "Swells of Abstract" that is available as digital download but I don't know if there really was a physical release in 1995 or something. The members of the group are DJ Drez, Zinndeadly, Able Body and Vesuvio who changed his name to Manifest. Since this release they didn't release any new music together cause what I heard was that they live in different cities now. What a shame!

Money Bazz / Cozmic Ray - New York, New York / Danger

Another release from Psycho V with Cozmic Ray from Widow Prizum and Money Bazz from the B.O.D. Click. The track "Danger" also appeared on this record here but it is like an extended version with two different parts that were produced by 2 different producers. "New York, New York" is new to meeee and it's a good one, check it out.

L*Roneous - Imaginarium

Looking at the credits of this album some might think that it may be boring. But I can tell ya it isn't! Even though it is only produced by DJ Zeph and L*Roneous is the only one who rips the mic. Don't let them trick you, it's hot!

Third Sight - The Golden Shower Hour

Here is something different for you folks. Third Sight consists of D-Styles, Dufunk and Jihad The Roughneck bringing you close to 60 minutes of good music. While Jihad rips the mic, D-Styles and Dufunk program the beats. Good stuff!

Rules Of The Game 12"

A small but fine release featuring 3 tracks that were taken from the "Rules Of The Game" compilation plus their instrumentals will await you here. The Stiff are represented with a banging beat produced by TD Camp and performances by Kwanzaa and Pablo according to the credits list on the record. The next track has a laid back beat with constantly falling Hi-Hats produced by the Angel, a female DJ/producer with Mystic on the mic. At last there is a track by the Living Legends members Grouch, Asop and PSC. The laid-back beat is put together by the Grouch.
This record is the only one that was taken off the "Rules Of The Game" compilation which were also the only releases from Tripek Records.

Per Aa Ra - P(rays)e The Sun

Thanks to the Jaded Emperor there is now a digital copy of this tape. Jaded Emperor also add the follwing:

This album was, to the best of my knowledge, only available on cassette. I copied it and encoded it to MP3 using Audacity on 7/18/2011. The cassette came in an evelope with a booklet containing illustrations and lyrics to all but the last track (a bonus track). These have been scanned and are all in the PDF file included. Page 2 may appear to be cut off, but it is not, it's just a blank page.
Anyway, Kemetic Suns are still one of the dopest crews from any era of Hip Hop.
If you can find original tapes, CDs, or vinyl records, I highly suggest purchasing them.
Have Fun,
Jaded Emperor

Fundamentals - Pow Wow / Code Red / Monkey King 12"

Thanks to Jack Devo over at Beetbak this blog is coming closer to a complete discography of the Kemetic Suns. Produced by Eclipse 427, King Koncepts and Karma Chi this is an underground classic from the Bay.

Fundamentals - Stop The World: Science Must Progress 12"

With production by Karma Chi, King Koncepts and Wind And Water and features from Hypnotic and Kirby Dominant this is a fine excerpt off the Fundamentals - Stop The World album. It is getting quiet interesting with only a few releases from the Kemetic Suns left over that I know of on this blog. What is missing is the Fundamentals - Pow Wow/Code Red 12" and the Per Aa Ra tape plus some stuff I haven't uploaded here for now. If you can help me out with the two above mentioned releases it would be much appreciated.

Abstract Tribe Unique's Golden Quartette

As I mentioned before, in 1995 Abstract Rude was close to a record deal at Grand Royal home of the Beastie Boys. The album Mood Pieces was meant to be released there but only two tracks made it onto a compilation from the label. Behind the scenery there exist two records which have never been released, one only made it to the test pressing status, while the other probably went for promo status, but I'm not sure if it really is a promo record or just a test pressing, too. What I'm talking about is the "Blast Off Into Infinity (12" Test Pressing)" and the "Ohh I'm a Getcha (12" Promo)".
What I think is, that Mike D visited a Good Life session where he probably was impressed by a performance of Abstract Rude & the Tribe Unique and asked them for a demo tape. In his raps, Abstract Rude mentions "I handed a tape to Mike D from Grand Royal" multiple times and also "MC A plays the bass on OG Crew" which might be a hint for a different unreleased version of the "Heavyweights Round III" track, probably the one that was deleted on utube. Also a rough version of "Blast Off Into Infinity" was deleted!
The Blast Off Into Infinity record has stamped in the date NOV 17, 1995 while there isn't no direct clue on the "Ohh, I'm A Getcha" record when it was pressed except that it contains the hint, that it was mastered at Capitul Recordings. But I think that through Aceys deal with Capitul, Abstract gained access to the golden chambers and for that reason, I will definitely date it to '95.
In '97 ATU had a deal with the crown loyal label Big Dada, which resulted in another 12" with two tracks from the Mood Pieces album and later on in '98 followed a 12" on Deemo Records containing the track "Caught Up In the Rappcha" together with a track from Syndrome on the flip-side.
I think that these records give a good hint, how many obstacles upcoming artists have to pass and I don't want to know, how many patience was put into the "Mood Pieces" album through the years before it was finally self-released by ATU. Although I'm not a 100% familiar with all the background info, I think that the given hints paint a good picture of what was happened and I'm glad, that beside a ton of unreleased underground stuff, "Mood Pieces" was finally released in '98! A record that captured me from the first time I heard it and may never let me go...
