Unreleased Def Squad - Passion ft Jamal (1995)

Post by step one »

This is off a Westwood tape from July/Aug 1995 that I posted yesterday. Has a nice west coast vibe to it. Thought I'd post it up here for anyone that hadn't heard it and also on the off chance someone had a CDQ or better quality version

it had previously been requested on the DWG forum a few years ago but there's not much info

I have contacted Passion directly herself, she says the track was from an unreleased Def Squad project, she doesn't have a copy and was surprised when I asked her about it.
Could be that it was intended for the Insomnia compilation perhaps.

Thanks for postin this Step...never heard the track before. Wish this got released...would've loved to have it in CDQ, and even better the Instrumental...

Unreleased def squad project huh. Really wish the Def Squad group album dropped like 3-4 years earlier than it did. I tend to favor Erick Sermons production from the mid 90s better than late/early 00s. Plus we may have even got some reggie noble beats on there

agree....that would've been a classic. Instead we got that horrible Insomnia comp....it had some dope tracks, but it was a huge letdown. even better would have been a comp before the Hit Squad branched off/split up

True that. The beats on el nino were really underwhelming

Yup, Rollin sounds like a demo of Bitchez... Seems like Erotic D first gave it to Passion/Jamal and then to D.O.C.
