Been looking for this since back in the day.I heard he had an ep out around the time when Any Day/Homicide scene 12" dropped,but that might be a de-bunked myth by now.Now what you're saying(95 demo)sounds like what I need.On the nights that he did those freestyles on wnyu,they played demos from him that I've never heard again.And IMO his 94-95 shit is monumental.WE NEED THIS!
And yes,thun,my heart rate went through the roof when I saw the name of this thread. :lol:
Great thread.RIP to the "walking atm" :bow:

Excellent thread, I always thought Mil should've been in The Firm instead of Nature. His verse on "Throw Ya Gunz" was just phenomenal, possibly the only time AZ was outshined on a track.

nobody will ever post the demo, i've seen too many half-a-mill appreciation threads on many forums (including this one) where people ask for the demo, and somebody on sohh even claimed he had it and would post it, but never did

Well,we can still try,being that I had 3-4 joints from the radio shows(all my tapes gone now),there's definitely somebody out there that at least has the demos still on tape,and at the right prompting they will up them eventually.I honestly believe this:Everything will surface eventually! T.R.O.Y is proof of this statement

Niiice!
Trust me,I been putting in some work on trying to find these demos.I finally ended up with Mayhem's e-mail address,dropped him a line,and haven't heard nothing yet.There's definitely heads out there with at least a couple of them on tape,though,I have yet to see them.
