Not sure if this has made its internets rounds yet, but I did found it on a old tape and converted a while back and just rediscovered it. Figured I'd throw it up in case people haven't heard it. Peep the back story and D/L: http://www.fifthelementonline.com/blog/boogie-down-productions-philosophy-ni...

I was working on these today. might have them all ready to drop as early as tomorrow!!

Just posted a blog about Together A Posse a.k.a T.A.P. They had two singles in '89 and '90 respectively. This group eventually lost one of the MCs and gained a new producer and become known as Undaground Soulution who was a key fixture on the 90s Chicago Scene. The DJ was Pumpin Pete, one of Chicago...

no, I've been sleeping. I completely forgot about this. I will get this down within the next week for SURE! I hardly ever say for sure so I have to mean it...ha. thanx for the reminder peoples.

Nyoo was a dope cat out of Atlanta in the mid 90s. He had tracks on 4 different Priority Samplers in '96 but none of those tracks officially dropped far as I know. He had track on the Rhyme & Reason soundtrack in '97 and that is the only released track I know of. I just did a blog about him, which i...

Yeah, man there is some great material there. I was really impressed with what I heard. Definitely worth checking out. It's cool that none of this releases on Jamille or Dope Folks are inflated prices either so it's just about getting the music out there!

Thanx! I spend so much time researching and writing them that I often forget to tell people they are posted so I have no idea if people are even reading them...ha. Glad to know they are being discovered. I appreciate it.

What up peoples? It's been a while, I've been off the radar doing lots of writing and research. One thing I've been realizing more lately how much I missed out on 80s/90s Milwaukee Hip Hop. There's a wealth of great material from that time. I just did a blog about a new label getting some of the unh...
