Considering that "The Martyr" is made up of nothing but fresh beats, exclusive verses and cameos and all full songs it plays out more like a street album than a traditional mixtape.
GETO BOYS UNCUT DOPE RAR FREE
Take some time out your day to take a listen to Immortal Technique's brand new, free of charge mixtape that just hit the web. Cypress Hill & Self Scientific)ĬALL O' DA WILD - " STRAIGHT OUT THE WILDERNESS" Aight, 'nuff talk, dowload, press play and LET IT BANG because this shit really, really KNOCKS!Ġ7. Last but not least, shouts to the forum poster Supreemo for designing the cover/artwork you see below. But even official group albums often include at least one solo song from each member, so in my opinion it really don't take away anything frm the overall experience. A couple of the tracks are also solo songs by Barron Ricks, since they are lifted from his 1998 12" single "Rags to Riches" with the flip side " Harlem River Drive".
I have the album on a DAT tape in storage somewhere ".Īll songs produced by DJ Muggs except track 1 (Jerome Foster & Sean Matthews), track 4 (The Alchemist) and track 6 (Sean C & Knobody). DJ Muggs said on the group and the shelved album, " Call O' Da Wild broke up right after their album was finished for SONY, and they thought they were superstars before they record even came out. Following this, Call O' Da Wild broke up and their album were left definitely shelved. Reminds me of the Sylvia Rhone situation that Pete Rock faced at Elektra when he tried to pich his groups InI and Deda, but that's another story. This seems like an incredibly idiotic idea on the labels part, considering that DJ Muggs was a huge part of it and The Hill were one of the biggest rap groups around - despite not putting out commercial joints. Eventually completed sometime between 19 the trio handed in their material to SONY who deemed to album to hard to sell since it didn't have any possible radio singles. If you look in the booklet of the CD version of the "Unreleased & Revamped" EP, there's even an ad for the LP with the text saying "coming soon". The group of Call O' Da Wild were signed to the SONY label and worked on an album with DJ Muggs as the executive and main record producer. Following a few other guest roles on records by DJ Hurricane, Princess Superstar and The Baldwin Brothers (?!) he too seems to have left the rap game alone, for what reason I'm not sure.
Most people probably knows him best for the many cameos on Cypress Hill's "IV" from that same year, even making an apperance on the classic hit single " Tequila Sunrise". Barron Ricks, however, released a 12" of his own in '98 including the B-Real and Chace Infinite featured " Rags to Riches" as well as the Alchemist laced " Harlem River Drive" on the flipside. They only got to release two exclusive 12" singles, in '95 and '96 respectively, as well as appearing on the soundtracks for "Bad Boys" and "Gravesend" roughly between the same time before fading into obscurity. album with their track " New York Undercover". The group were closely affilliated with DJ Muggs and part of the Soul Assassins, appearing on the first S.A. "Handle Ur Bizness" (DJ Premier Remix)Ĭall O' Da Wild was a duo consisting of Harlem rappers Barron Ricks and Angelo Campanioni who were active for a short number of years in the mid-'90s. Featuring stand out tracks like " NBCFWM", " Cold World" and the original mix of " Handle Ur Bizness" this shit is pure fire and should not be slept on by anyone who finds pleasure in banging head to the sounds of Brownsville's Finest. Primarily produced by Laze E Laze, all the material besides the Preemo remix of the title track are exclusive to this release. The EP was released shortly before their third album, "First Family 4 Life", came out and is sonically very much in the same vein. Eight tracks deep, Lil' Fame and Billy Danze are sporting their usual energetic and anger steaming performances without lacking the raw emotion and tight deliveries that originally made them two of my favorite rhymers. Considering that this joint has been out-of-print for quite some time it took me a while to get my hands on it, but once I did I found it to be a worthy addition to my Mash Out collection. While we're eagerly awaiting the release of "Sparta", let's take it back to 1998 with M.O.P.'s "Handle Ur Bizness" EP.
