So it's not one of the 2 versions that was floating around a few years ago?

I don't know. I don't have it. I had the 5-6 track demo EP that had killa sin on a track if memory serves. A few of these might've been on that, but obviously not all of them.

I don't know. I don't have it. I had the 5-6 track demo EP that had killa sin on a track if memory serves. A few of these might've been on that, but obviously not all of them.

So there were two versions (there are actually more than 2 but these were the best/most organized) floating around - one was 8 tracks, the other was 14. The 8 track one circulated pretty widely, it's even up on youtube. The 14 track one was more rare, and that's the one that Gloss posted above. The sound quality seems about the same, Gloss' seems a little louder but not any clearer.

The 14 track version is dated on my hard drive to 2007. I can't find a thread or a blog post to confirm source, but I'm fairly certain I got it from here, and it originated on one of the mid 00s ripper/digger blogs that turned up all the rare shit that was floating around at the time.

Obviously none of this takes away from what Gloss uploaded, since nobody remembers it anyway, I'm just curious about how this stuff travels around the net and where it comes from. I was actually hoping the one Gloss found may be some definitive final remaster or something like that.

The more I look the more confusing this gets. The early demos, the promo versions of singles and god knows what other outtakes have been combined and recombined into random collections so many times it's impossible to keep track of what's what.

Like what the fuck is this one?

I grabbed it off 1994hiphop and immediately shared it. I haven't even unzipped the file yet.
