I'm not sure if it's a group. Might be an alias Mathematik used in the nineties.

Ahhhh.
In that case,I guess I need to give Mathematik another listen. :fail:

Down To Erf was a group consisting of 2 producers and Mathematik as the emcee. The producers got fed up with politics of the music biz and retreated to the background, later calling themselves Erf Productions. They're credited for producing the following:

Citizen Kane - Blackrain, Structure / Foundation (What's The Plan), Elements Of Mind (Black Rain Remix), The Gambler, Reality N' Facts
Sic Sense - Onemantality
Dream Warriors - Sound Clash (Erf Mix)
Saukrates - Hate Runs Deep (Remix)

Also did most of the production on Mathematik's solo effort Ecology.

Kish - A Nation of Hoods (1994 Canada)

Here's the follow-up to Kish's debut. This one was requested to be upped. Definitely some good material on here for that time. I was reading the liner notes in the CD and he has a huge amount of respect for Canadian hip-hop and those that really set it off. You always have to respect someone who can be equal to his/ her peers and still be humble in their presence or when discussing their peers. Certainly would have been nice to have more music from Kish but he did leave his mark and we can only hope that he's doing well these days. Hope you enjoy having a listen.

1. Straight To Your Grill
2. Crates To Concrete
3. Sunrise
4. A Nation Of Hoods
5. You Canגt Sleep On A Shorty
6. Props Due
7. 3:26 AM
8. Itגs Tha Bomb
9. We On Some Next Shit
10. Undercover
11. Get Off Your Knees
12. 4KD

Code: Select all
