philly retrospective volumes 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 'Once In A Blue Moon' was mostly instrumental/acid jazz. 'Pump Pump' 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 it's gotten around a bit. Anyway, I hope y'all 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.

Philly Retrospective 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 and constant research 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 sound system soon.
