Back on it with a gem from the mixtape archives…The year was 1998… this is technically my 3rd mixtape (that I had out for sale) and since I’ve been digitizing all my old mixtapes for a special usb package coming soon, I wanted to give a taste of what’s to come. The distribution on this tape was extremely limited, only a few choice record stores in Philly carried this one before I expanded to Sandbox, Landspeed, etc…If you have a physical copy of this in your collection, there is a special place in my heart for you! Biggup Fat Beats, Sound of Norristown, Armand’s Record’s and Bobbito’s Footwork in Philly circa 1998 who were the first stores to carry these things…I was also working for Ruff House Records at the time when Kool Keith was recording the “Black Elvis” album and was fortunate to get him, Marc Live (Raw Breed) & Black Silver to lace me with an exclusive promo…
