NICK WIZ ג גCELLAR SELECTIONS VOL. 1 2LPג [NSR2LP-001] LIMITED RELEASE!! [Sealed / Sticker cover / 250 quantity mail order]
Peace vinyl collecting world! After the great success of our last EP, Godfather Don, we are back as promised to continue our series: Nick Wiz גCellar Selectionsג Vol. 1 is here! By popular request we are finally putting on vinyl most of the tracks from Nick Wiz גCellar Soundsג Vol. 1 2CD that have never been pressed up before. We are also including a couple bonus tracks from the forthcoming No Sleep Recordings 2CD, גCellar Soundsג Vol. 2!
Nick Wiz has been a Hip-Hop mainstay since his teenage years. Having first impacted the early 90גs scene with his beat contributions to Ecko Unlimitedגs גUnderground Airplayג cassette series; Nickגs sound was a considerable part of the early Lyricist Lounge movement. This continued into working with Lounge alum, The Cella Dwellas, as well as the likes of Rakim, Chubb Rock, Mad Skillz, Channel Live and countless others. Producing in his own studio, appropriately named גThe Cellarג, his sound was a unique fusion of filters, horns, smacking SP-1200 drums and dense bass-lines. With round the clock recording sessions, Nickגs studio was constantly flooded with both Hip-Hopגs elite talent and the best of the underground scene as well. While a lot of the material produced and recorded by him found its way to full-length CD releases, countless other tracks were unreleased; only heard on underground radio shows and rare demos.
This release focuses mostly on the mid-90s demos from the first 2CD, specifically the highly sought after Lyricist Lounge גUnderground Airplayג tracks and the rare Stretch and Bobbito demos that have never been on vinyl. This release is the first of two Cellar Selections 2LPs, as the second will be released in early 2011 and will mostly feature tracks from גCellar Soundsג Vol. 2 with a few leftovers from Vol. 1ג¦.
As with our last release, we have made some changes to improve on how we release these records. First, this is already in stock (and sounds great) and all packages will ship in bulk on Monday or Tuesday of the week of August 2nd. So there is no extended wait time after processing your payment. Also, we will be trying to reduce prices on these types of releases as much as possible going forward. This greatly depends on the deals we make with the artists, but this particular 2LP will retail for only $40 plus S&H. Thatגs right, for double wax!
Thanks for your support as always and stayed tuned for our next releases. Next up is some new unreleased D.I.T.C. flava for all those who have been asking. Keep supporting as we again intend to reward all the consistent customers/collectors (who buy directly from us) of the 2010 series ;-)
God Bless,
James גDLג

Track Info (by Nick Wiz)The Cella Dwellas ג גItגs Timeג 1997 - One of the first tracks we recorded after "Realms and Reality". It was deleted because the bulk of the second album was recorded in 1999 and this track was considered old by the time we got a release date.LSD ג גParkside Madnessג 1994 - This was a crew from East Orange that was affiliated with Kay Gee (Naughty by Nature). They actually introduced me to the Miilkbone situation after I produced several tracks for them.Shadowz In Da Dark ג גBright Lightsג 1994 - This was actually co-produced by Monochrome (one of the group's emcees). This was for their demo.Pudgee ג גGet Downג 1995 - This joint was one of many tracks recorded during the "King Of New York" sessions, but did not make it on the album.Shabaam Sahdeeq ג גCanגt Be Ya Loverג 1994 - This was off of Shabaam's demo that he was shopping in 94/95. It appeared finally on one of the "Underground Airplay" cassettes.Miilkbone feat. K-Banger ג גDirty Delaneyג 1994 - K-Banger was another one of Miilkbone's artists that he brought around while we were working on his album. This track did not make the final cut for the LP.Ran Reed ג גBlack Book Interludeג 1994 ג This was a short freestyle done with Marc Ecko for the "Underground Airplay" series.Ran Reed feat. The Cella Dwellas ג גThe Definitionג 1997 - I was working on Ran's project and the Dwellas 2nd LP at the same time. Everyone was always around and this collabo naturally happened.Nautilus ג גUntitledג 1994 - This was a group from Jersey City that was under my production company. This is one of several joints we worked on.Red Hot Lover Tone ג4 My Peepsג Unreleased Remix 1994 - This was a remix that I submitted for the 12" release, but it was not chosen.Chubb Rock ג גVerseג 1996 - Chubb Rock came by the studio to pick up some beats to write to, heard the track and dropped an impromptu verse.Shadowz In Da Dark ג גBreak Foolג 1992 ג This was an track off of their earlier demo.Chubb Rock, Ran Reed, The Cella Dwellas ג Lyricist Lounge Freestyle 1995 - Another collaboration track done for Ran Reed's demo. We eventually gave it to Ecko Unlimited for one of the "Underground Airplay" cassettes.Nautilus ג גContactג 1994 ג Another track from their demo project I worked on.Shabaam Sahdeeq w/ Black Sun (Shadowz In Da Dark) ג גWhen The Shit Hits The Fanג 1995 - This was another track recorded for Shabaam's demo. Darc Mind ג גWe In Thisג 1996 - This was an unreleased track that we worked on for Darc Mind's debut album on Loud. They were dropped before their project was ever released.Shabaam Sahdeeq feat. Baybe - גSexyג 1994 ג While we were working on Shabaam's demo, Guru from Gang Starr brought Baybe down to the studio to work on her project. She jumped on the hook for this song and actually she also sang the hook for The Cella Dwellas single "Perfect Match". Hitman (Ran Reed) ג גReal Niggasג 1994 ג This track was done for Ranגs early demo when he was still using the name Hitman. Eventually this made onto one of the גUnderground Airplayג cassettes.
oh my god
