Itגs been a hundred years since Iגve shared anything from my Philadelphia compilation series. Ok, maybe not 100 years but itגs been too damn long. I donגt need to rehash Phillyגs long and storied history in hip hop, but I do need to bring you some unheard cuts if possible. As is generally the case, there is alot of obscure material here so dig in.

Here ya go mate, going to try to go in order. Got a few more coming up. Stay tuned for the last part. In the meantime, here is the bulk of my Philadelphia compilation series.
http://www.thetroyblog.com/2008/10/22/p ... -volume-1/
Hip hop in Philadelphia has a long and deep history. It was one of the 1st areas outside of New York
to produce recorded hip hop. Checking ebay listings usually reveals a small number of Philadelphia
releases, at high prices. The city does get a fair amount of recognition and there are lots
of Philadelphia artists who have made their way onto the national scene. Closer examination
reveals a very prolific underground there. Many of the artists I'm going to feature in this 23-volume
series were hardly heard or known about outside the city limits. This 1st volume is comprised of artists
who are probably familiar for the most part, but stay tuned. Over a period of time, I will post
22 other Philadelphia compilations made up of the rarest/dopest gems I could find. You're in for
some surprises, so stay tuned!

Department of corrections:
After I finished this one, I discovered the Rasheed on track 12 is actually from Texas, and is not the same artist as Rasheed from Philadelphia. Woops. Hope y'all will forgive me for the mistake. Check back for updates, will be bringing
you more of these compilations to your soundsystem soon.
http://www.thetroyblog.com/2008/10/29/p ... s-2-and-3/
As promised, here are the next couple installments in my Philadelphia compilations series. Both of these have some pretty rare material on them. The track by F-Mob on volume 2 was something i heard on a radio show in Olympia, Washington back in 1993. Their album גOnce In A Blue Moonג was mostly instrumental/acid jazz. גPump Pumpג was one of the only hip hop tracks on the album. It also came out as a 12? single, for good reason. The track is a burner. Check the beat!

I put these 2 compilations together back in 2007. There are at least 20 more coming which feature all kinds of underground Philadelphia artists so stay with us while we bring you the flava.
http://www.thetroyblog.com/2008/12/05/p ... -volume-4/
Got some dope underground from Philadelphia to share today. This one has some dope and rare tracks. Classic east coast boom bap for your ears. Iגve played this one more times than I can count, and I still keep coming back for more. Give it a spin and youגll see why.

There are a couple tracks from Pittsburgh, PA. Maybe I was cheatinג but I felt like that was close enough. Leave some comments if ya like this one and thanks for reading!
Hereגs philly retrospective volume 5 today. This mix is actually not strictly Philadelphia. Choked Out is from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As is generally the case, some of the material on this compilation is extremely hard to find! In particular, the John Doe track is from a single which almost doesnגt exist. Iגd kill to have the b-side.

My own favorites would have to be tracks 1, 11 and 12. Let me know what yours are.
http://www.thetroyblog.com/2009/02/19/p ... -volume-6/
Today I am bringing you the 6th mix in the Philadelphia series. I was driving around in the car today cause I canגt get enough of this one. Burn it to cd and put it in your ride. Youגll see why. Track 1 is a serious banger! The beat has been used elsewhere, but the effect is magnified by Schoollyגs voice. Some of these tracks are pretty obscure so if you are into philly stuff turn off the snooze button and roll out of bed. For those rarified vinyl collector fiends, check out Legion Of Doom in particular. Donגt stop there though cause this whole mix is packed.

http://www.thetroyblog.com/2009/05/25/p ... -volume-7/
Hittinג ya with volume 7 of the Philly retrospective series today. There are some underground gems here for you phanatics. Starting off is a classic banger by Lux. As far as I know this was his first official tape. If he did something else earlier than 1994 Iגd love to know. Next up is a dark, haunting tune by Tainted Mindz. Iגm assuming most of our readers are familiar with the two releases they put out, גKilladelphiaג and גAll In The Flip.ג If not, let me know and iגll up them soon. Other favorites on volume 7 include tracks 7,8 and 11. One of these days Iגll post The Kartel album if anyone out there wants to hear it. Philadelphia is an endless gold mine for diggers and this compilation delivers in spades.

Youגll notice a couple of tracks are from New York, not Philadelphia. Thatגs how it goes sometimes when Iגm compiling these regional compilations. I find things out later. In any case, I hope you enjoy the selection!
Bringing you volume 8 from my Philadelphia series today. Like the previous ones, this edition has some relatively obscure and very dope cuts. Starting things off strong is גEast Wild Westג by Rahsheed. I scored this single for about 3 bucks from a local shop. Favorites are probably numbers 3-5, but the rest are bangers too. I cheated a little bit with the Pittsburgh tracks, hope you like them.

Bringing more obscure underground dopeness today, itגs volumes 21-23 in my Philly retrospective series. A few of the tracks featured here were never officially released and some of them are radio rips. Read the nfo files if you want to know particular details. I love this Philadelphia project. If youגve been following the series you know it runs deep. If not, do yourself a favor and start here. Collectors stay tuned, volume 28 is not far away. Thatגs the גfinalג Pa compilation., but as I explained with the New Jersey series, there is never really an official גendג to them. These collections are a longtime and ongoing labor of love.

Sometime soon I'll post up the last batch from Philly Retrospective series. It's about as epic as the Baltimore & Washington Dc series so if you haven't really checked these out you should. Hope you like the selections and discover some new music!
http://www.thetroyblog.com/2008/10/22/p ... -volume-1/
Hip hop in Philadelphia has a long and deep history. It was one of the 1st areas outside of New York
to produce recorded hip hop. Checking ebay listings usually reveals a small number of Philadelphia
releases, at high prices. The city does get a fair amount of recognition and there are lots
of Philadelphia artists who have made their way onto the national scene. Closer examination
reveals a very prolific underground there. Many of the artists I'm going to feature in this 23-volume
series were hardly heard or known about outside the city limits. This 1st volume is comprised of artists
who are probably familiar for the most part, but stay tuned. Over a period of time, I will post
22 other Philadelphia compilations made up of the rarest/dopest gems I could find. You're in for
some surprises, so stay tuned!

Department of corrections:
After I finished this one, I discovered the Rasheed on track 12 is actually from Texas, and is not the same artist as Rasheed from Philadelphia. Woops. Hope y'all will forgive me for the mistake. Check back for updates, will be bringing
you more of these compilations to your soundsystem soon.
http://www.thetroyblog.com/2008/10/29/p ... s-2-and-3/
As promised, here are the next couple installments in my Philadelphia compilations series. Both of these have some pretty rare material on them. The track by F-Mob on volume 2 was something i heard on a radio show in Olympia, Washington back in 1993. Their album גOnce In A Blue Moonג was mostly instrumental/acid jazz. גPump Pumpג was one of the only hip hop tracks on the album. It also came out as a 12? single, for good reason. The track is a burner. Check the beat!

I saw vol 3 here posted on a spanish language hip hop blog awhile back, so I guess itגs gotten around a bit. Anyway, I hope yגall like the selections here. I put these 2 compilations together back in 2007. There are at least 20 more coming which feature all kinds of underground Philadelphia artists so stay with us while we bring you the flava.
http://www.thetroyblog.com/2008/12/05/p ... -volume-4/
Got some dope underground from Philadelphia to share today. This one has some dope and rare tracks. Classic east coast boom bap for your ears. Iגve played this one more times than I can count, and I still keep coming back for more. Give it a spin and youגll see why.

There are a couple tracks from Pittsburgh, PA. Maybe I was cheatinג but I felt like that was close enough. Leave some comments if ya like this one and thanks for reading!
Hereגs philly retrospective volume 5 today. This mix is actually not strictly Philadelphia. Choked Out is from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As is generally the case, some of the material on this compilation is extremely hard to find! In particular, the John Doe track is from a single which almost doesnגt exist. Iגd kill to have the b-side.

My own favorites would have to be tracks 1, 11 and 12. Let me know what yours are.
http://www.thetroyblog.com/2009/02/19/p ... -volume-6/
Today I am bringing you the 6th mix in the Philadelphia series. I was driving around in the car today cause I canגt get enough of this one. Burn it to cd and put it in your ride. Youגll see why. Track 1 is a serious banger! The beat has been used elsewhere, but the effect is magnified by Schoollyגs voice. Some of these tracks are pretty obscure so if you are into philly stuff turn off the snooze button and roll out of bed. For those rarified vinyl collector fiends, check out Legion Of Doom in particular. Donגt stop there though cause this whole mix is packed.

http://www.thetroyblog.com/2009/05/25/p ... -volume-7/
Hittinג ya with volume 7 of the Philly retrospective series today. There are some underground gems here for you phanatics. Starting off is a classic banger by Lux. As far as I know this was his first official tape. If he did something else earlier than 1994 Iגd love to know. Next up is a dark, haunting tune by Tainted Mindz. Iגm assuming most of our readers are familiar with the two releases they put out, גKilladelphiaג and גAll In The Flip.ג If not, let me know and iגll up them soon. Other favorites on volume 7 include tracks 7,8 and 11. One of these days Iגll post The Kartel album if anyone out there wants to hear it. Philadelphia is an endless gold mine for diggers and this compilation delivers in spades.
Volume 7 --

20 (5:34) Militant Minister ג Killer Endstinct 1994
Youגll notice a couple of tracks are from New York, not Philadelphia. Thatגs how it goes sometimes when Iגm compiling these regional compilations. I find things out later. In any case, I hope you enjoy the selection!
Bringing you volume 8 from my Philadelphia series today. Like the previous ones, this edition has some relatively obscure and very dope cuts. Starting things off strong is גEast Wild Westג by Rahsheed. I scored this single for about 3 bucks from a local shop. Favorites are probably numbers 3-5, but the rest are bangers too. I cheated a little bit with the Pittsburgh tracks, hope you like them.

One note, I know Lu Cipha is from Pennsylvania but Iגm not sure which city. If anyone out there can tell me Iגd love to know. Give this collection a spin, itגs got some replay value.
http://www.thetroyblog.com/2010/06/17/p ... -9-and-10/

Itגs been a hundred years since Iגve shared anything from my Philadelphia compilation series. Ok, maybe not 100 years but itגs been too damn long.

As is generally the case, there is alot of obscure material here so dig in.

Bringing more obscure underground dopeness today, itגs volumes 21-23 in my Philly retrospective series. A few of the tracks featured here were never officially released and some of them are radio rips. Read the nfo files if you want to know particular details. I love this Philadelphia project. If youגve been following the series you know it runs deep. If not, do yourself a favor and start here. Collectors stay tuned, volume 28 is not far away. Thatגs the גfinalג Pa compilation., but as I explained with the New Jersey series, there is never really an official גendג to them. These collections are a longtime and ongoing labor of love.

Coinciding with the re-up, here is an awesome documentary about Philly hip-hop from 1988 and a rarely seen Q&A session with Schoolly D and the film's other stars: http://www.thetroyblog.com/2012/06/11/r ... -bet-show/

Re: Philadelphia Retrospective Compilation Flood - All Volum
Thank you Verge and Alps.
Unfortunately, some of the files with album cuts have been shut down. I think it may be time to kick MediaMire to the curb.
