There have been an almost overwhelming number of special vinyl releases of unreleased tracks and demos this past year, but this one really got my attention - different versions of early Showbiz & AG tracks, unreleased instrumentals and a never before heard cut produced by Diamond D! Considering that Runaway Slave is one of the best examples of Bronx beat science ever made, this is major.

1. Instrumental 1
2. Digginג In The Crates OG Version, 1990
3. Instrumental 2
4. Instrumental 3
5. To Each His Own (More Than One Way Out Of The Ghetto OG), 1991
6. Instrumental 4
7. Instrumental 5
8. Hard To Kill OG Version
9. Instrumental 6
10. Iגm Convinced (Previously unreleased, produced by Diamond D)

unkut is putting this out?
i'm surprised, they always seemed like the types of people that would hate on these super expensive limited vinyls
snippets sound great though

well, here's another high priced release:
Ever wonder what itגd be like to be granted unlimited access to the highly guarded vaults of unreleased material from one of the greatest producers hip-hop has ever known? Now, what if that producer allowed you to pick any five cuts to release on wax? Can you imagine what youגd come up with?
Weגre offering you the opportunity to find out.

DWG004: גThe Juice Crew EPג
Mastered directly from Marley Marlגs original reels recorded between 1986 and 1989, גThe Juice Crewג EP represents the pinnacle of unreleased hip-hop music. You may recognize some of the songs as those of urban legend and lore. Others you may be reading about for the first time. One thing they all share in common ג each just might be among the greatest tracks ever recorded by these artists. And these are not words spoken lightly. Itגs not an attempt to גsell the productג. Judge for yourself. The music found on this wax really IS that good!
PEEP THE SNIPPETS!
Take Tragedy's (Super Kids) "Stunt of the Block", for instance. Recorded during the same time period Marley spit out "Eric B Is President", "The Bridge", and Biz's "Make the Music...", it's a wonder why this classic never dropped on NIA. It doesn't take long before you hear THAT sound... "Eric B Is Pres" and "The Bridge" are ALL OVER IT!
גWhy do they all sound similar,ג you ask? Marley was working with a defective sampler at the time. If he unplugged the machine, he would have lost all the sounds so he left it on for an entire week to be able to record all of the cuts. "Stunt of the Block" was the only song recorded during that time that no one has heard... Until now... And weגre sure youגll agree it more than holds its own with its legendary siblings.
Others cuts on the EP represent the pinnacle of what the Juice Crew had to offer. Kool G Rap's "I Declare War" and "Enter The Dragon" were both recorded for "Road to the Riches", but somehow neither found its way onto the full-length. During a listening session for DWG004, Marley exclaimed "I Declare War" was "iller than 'It's A Demo'". Heגs not lying.
Then there's Big Daddy Kane's "For Your Own Concern". Stretch Armstrong posted a radio rip of this cut on his blog over a year ago, turning many an ageing b-boy into incoherent babbling fools. Recorded in '87 between "Get Into It" and "Raw", it's another classic that Marley graciously shared with us for this release. How it never made the גLong Live the Kaneג LP is a mystery.
And finally, there's Craig G's "Drop a Bomb on 'Em" recorded in '89 for his first LP, "The Kingpin". Peep Mr. Magic on the intro referring to Craig as "the newest member of the Juice Crew". In the second verse, Craig spits, "A lot of feelings got hurt when I made 'Duck Alert' / But the suckers didn't really know if I could do work". Listen for yourself and tell us what you think! The Jackson Sisters sample only adds icing on the proverbial cake.
You want גholy grailג type music? Been looking for a reason to break out your Kangol and Cazals to wear with your dookie ropes? Look no further.

Freestyle Records is pleased to announce our new collector's only vinyl release:
Showbiz & A.G. ג Broken Chains: Soul Clap & Runaway Slave Unreleased, 1990-1992
Previously thought lost forever, these masters recently resurfaced and have yielded a treasure trove of unreleased vocal and instrumental tracks from the incredibly fruitful recording sessions leading up to one of the most important Hip Hop albums of all time.
Included in this package are three previously unreleased original versions for songs produced by Showbiz that would eventually become Soul Clap EP and Runaway Slave LP classics but in different forms. Also included, from the same sessions, is a previously unreleased Diamond D production featuring A.G. Finally, rounding out the package, are 7 unreleased instrumental productions by Showbiz from the Runaway Slave sessions. As a special bonus, Freestyle Records has thrown in an untitled cut by D-Flow & Party Arty from 1995 produced by Showbiz.
Due to the importance of this project, Freestyle Records has chosen to release these 12 cuts on a double vinyl format with a picture cover as follows:
Showbiz & A.G. ג Broken Chains: Soul Clap & Runaway Slave Unreleased, 1990-1992
All tracks produced by Showbiz unless otherwise noted
A-Side
1) Instrumental 1, 1991-1992
2) Diggin' In The Crates OG Version, 1990
(The second track ever recorded by Showbiz & A.G. [after Soul Clap]. Different verse from Showbiz, different track with extended piano sample. More energy than released version.)
3) Instrumental 2, 1991-1992
B-Side:
4) Instrumental 3, 1991-1992
5) To Each His Own (More Than One Way Out Of The Ghetto OG), 1991
(Similar lyrics, different track. More melodic, less dark than released version.)
6) Instrumental 4, 1991-1992
(sample later used by Show for You Want It, left unreleased off Goodfellas LP in 1995)
C-Side:
7) Instrumental 5, 1991-1992
(sample later used by The Beatminerz for Smif-N-Wessunגs Bucktown in 1994)
8 ) Hard To Kill OG Version, 1991
(Different beat [uses Taking of Pelham 1,2,3 beat {sampled from TV} from Malcolm X intro on released version], different track, no shouted chorus [instead uses scratched in vocal samples {all five from A.G. on Itגs Up To You}], one new verse, [first verse of released version is second verse here on OG]. Harder than released version.)
9) Instrumental 6, 1991-1992
D-Side:
10) I'm Convinced, 1992 (Previously unreleased, produced by Diamond D)
11) Instrumental 7, 1991-1992

lol@ this same discussion every time. It is what it is. A very few will cop, most will not. But at the end of the day it's gonna get to everyone in some kind of format.
And respect to the Fuck The Dumb Crew for that.Lyrical Gymnastics wrote:The price is pretty much the main reason why this will end up in our nice little board
"The sweetest Revolutionary."
Yeah, but you would never support at any price so who gives a fuck. The fact is no one is going to put his out for free and if I could charge less I would. Every version is better than what was released and this shit must be heard.Lyrical Gymnastics wrote:The price is pretty much the main reason why this will end up in our nice little board

I'm not talking about selling Show & AG joints. Those are your folks. I'm just saying I need to find somebody with some gems and put them out.
500 copies @ 100 a pop is $5000.00
Figure 500 pieces of wax to press can't be anymore than $1,000. You make the buyer pay for S&H so you walk away with at least $4,000 profit in a matter of days (due to all the pre sales). Even if you gotta give the artists half $2K for just selling 500 pieces is cake.
Probably double that if I fuck with the Japs like you. That's always double the money, double the fun.
