The CRDS Fat Tape Volume 21-1993 Underground Special

Peace C.R.D.S. readers

first of all thanks for your feedback on the Ice-T and NWA post (and previous posts) my flu is pretty much dead and done, so I appreciate the well wishes...word is born family I haven't posted a compilation in a long time, so I hope this collection of Golden Age and Underground Hip Hop joints from 1993 suffices for the lack of compilation posting.

So turn off the radio (or smash it to bits would be a better idea lol) and TV, stay away from all that "swag" and gimmicky trash and listen to what Hip Hop was all about once and still should be, raw rhymes, head nodding fat beats, rumbling bass-lines and dope samples

Enjoy and mad respect to Grimee Rappuh, aREAL,The Human Jukebox, Dat Supa Dee Jay Mark G, Renee, Kat1, Lord Monsta, Breadcrumbs, Mickey Redvenom, Airan (aka bestie haha), SPank Moss, Tobias, The Mashup, Leary, Ridge Jaggers, Art Official, Da Mules, Manky Chops fam, Sean L, Sean B.D, Lars, Rita, Andrew B, Hans No Go, Dom Nyce, Rickster, Tyshawn, Trav, Drasar M, C7, DJ Matt Nyce, Verge the T.R.O.Y. crew and all posters there and to all the real heads keeping this incredible art form and culture alive...this compilation has ill tracks not just from from New York but from the The Bay Area, Baltimore, Oakland, Chicago and Texas so make like the late, great Dilla and turn it up :D

1993-Baby Chill-Wake Up Call LP (unreleased)

I first saw this album (or at least a form of this album) reviewed in a Rap Pages magazine from 1993-94 (that is in my storage somewhere) and from memory it was listed as Baby Chill and The Secret Squirrels...the review intrigued me and I always wanted to hear it..I asked in all the record stores back in the days and some Friends in the US and UK and they had never heard of it...so a massive thanks goes out to my Man Matt Nyce that hooked me up with this album...

Wake Up Call came from the late, great Tony D not long before he sadly passed, Baby Chill left this earth sometime in the 90's but sadly there is no info about him or his passing...it's a dope album with classic breaks and dope samples produced by Tony-D (I am pretty sure he did all of the beats on this album...if anyone knows otherwise, please drop a comment.

New Jersey's Baby Chill was a member of Blaque Spurm who released the Spurmicidal Tendencies LP (repressed in 2008) and I think he was a part of The Funk Family as well, he also appeared on "Good Morning Vietnam" by the Central Jersey Allstars...there are a couple of jumps in a few tracks on this LP rip, but they are not that bad...I'm just really grateful to be able to hear this, as I am sure you will be :)

enjoy...

Knucklehedz...

Tom J (in the house...Tom...Tom J...) and Steve Austin, 2 dope White kids that went went to the same Brentwood High School as Erick Sermon and were supposed to be the next out of the infamous Hit Squad camp but suffered badly because of the animosity between Erick and Parrish, this album was never actually released and it's such a freaking shame...It's pure dopeness, solid and ill and of course familiar beats and production from E. Sermon, Charlie Marotta & Parrish Smith

Tom J and Steve Austin had style, sure all they pretty much rhymed about was booze, weed, cars, cops and broads but so what?... it was enjoyable and they bounced rhymes off each other like an early EPMD and speaking of the dynamic duo, they actually mention The Knucklehedz on Nobody's Safe Chump from 1992's Business Never Personal album.

Strickly Savage is just a good party, head-nod album and is quite infectious and worth hearing if you haven't, even if they did have some success with the album if it was released properly they still most probably would have felt the cut when East West cleared out a vast amount of it's Hip Hop roster in the mid 90's, my standout cut would probably be Girlies Keep Screamin'...and next Hed Rush and Party Wrecka

I know the ill WYDU blog has done a post on this album before but this is an album I love and still rock frequently
