i recently was given a massive collection of cassette tapes. the majority of them were WBLS and KISS recordings of classic radio shows. sprinkled in there were several demos (Endangered Species etc), live shows and tons of amateurish beat tapes labeled by year and style.
they were all done by this dude G-Quick or Gran Quick. like i said, a lot of the beats were very amateurish. really sloppy loops and awful drums but there were so many that they needed to be sorted through. one of the tapes i popped in was labeled G Quick but also had the name Ness Tee on it and it looked like a mid to late 80s tape.
I gave these tapes to Aleph. He ripped the first one and told me to hold on. About a week later he tells me "dude there are several blank tapes with NessTee demos on it (produced by G-Quick). They went by the name of NessTeeQuick and over a spread of about 10 tapes recorded dozens of demos (each of which had 3 mixes or more that fluctuated in sound quality and displayed different loops or alternate mixes).
I did some research and realized the reason the guy who got these tapes for me from an abandoned storage unit did so because the unit had been deserted. G-Quick had passed away some time in the last 2 years. The unit was in Patterson, NJ. This whole guys life (demos, tapes he liked, and radio shows he recorded) were stuffed into several duffel bags and boxes...
After listening through all these demos of NessTeeQuick Aleph has come up with several bullet points....
-Group’s alternate name might have been Pro Style but I can’t call it. Let’s just stick w/Ness Tee Quick
-Ness Tee’s originally from Brownsville, Brooklyn and moved to Montclair, NJ (possibly where he met Quick)
-Started with a crew in 1981 called Devastating Force (or Devastating Four?), possibly with G-Quick.
-Early joints probably done in 1987
-G-Quick aliases: Rick Rude and Double R
-Also produced for a group called Well Known Strangers
Here are 14 demo cuts! ENJOY!
