I was helping promote Lux for a while in the mid 90s. I used to talk to Mizery (aka DJ Miz) who was his producer. They gave me a track that I don't think every came out with Lux and Kurupt. I'll try to dig it up and post it. I think I put it on one of my TIME TRAVEL Vault CDs that I did two volumes of. I got the EP From '96 to that is fresh I'll post some of that if no one else does. All great stuff! Id be interested in peeping any other Lux stuff myself. What happened to him anyway?

soopacee · Post by **soopacee** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 7:37 pm

ahhh the man they call LUX.....a philly legend!!

well that boom box joint is just a single....it features Steady B and the b-side was "gangsta", which blew up ALL over philly when it was released, it was #1 on the top five on Power 99 for WEEKS, maybe months.....seriously

then he dropped that EP, which i have on cassette, but alot of you know i cant rip tapes or vinyl for shit, so if your from PA and can do it, get at me....we will be up for days rippin shit

i also have a radio dub of a track he did called "back again"....he went to prison for a little after the release of his EP, and did that track soon as he got out....its ok, pretty standard lux

Da Fat Cat Clique - Da Cats Out Da Bag (DFCC, 1996)

Rare 1996 release by Illadelph's own Da Fat Cat Clique. "Da Flow" features EST, The Man They Call Lux, Ital the Ruffian, Lavee & Ruggedness Madd Drama. Having only this mp3 version of the album I dont have much more information relating to this release, nor do I have the albums cover art. Nevertheless this is a must have for those that appreciate 90's independant Hip-Hop

I found that on some blog, if anyone wants the link for that, just holla

He was also on a joint with Infared around 1998 called Street Niggas, that shit was ridiculous.
