New Jersey Underground Part 6 (1990-1997)

Hittin' ya up with volume 6 from my New Jersey series. This one has lots of dope and obscure tracks on it, no kidding. The Black Rebels start things out right with hard, fast paced production. When they ask 'if I smoke crack do you think that you would know ?'. Well yes guys, I think I'd know. 'Black Target' is that quintessential hardcore, east coast street rap that has forever burned itself into my mind. Out of 17 underground cuts, there at least 6 which you might have a hard time tracking down in other places. One selection I really love is the 1994 track by Blvd Mosse. Their single from 1990 is more common, but the later material is even better. For you fans of Rottin Razkals, check out 'Hitcha From The Bricks'. It's a banger. The New Jersey series contains tons of gems and volume 6 passes with flying colors.

New Jersey Underground Part 5 (1991-1997)

It's with a certain amount of sadness that I post this batch of Jersey tracks today. In light of his recent death, Tony D's beats bring out the nostalgia in me. Many of his beats were classic and remind me of my own personal glory days back in the early/mid 90's. Ah. to be young, sprung and hip again. To this day, there exists a large archive of unreleased material produced by the 16-stone Italian stallion. Perhaps one of the small contemporary labels putting out unreleased music from the golden era can arrange to give proper treatment and exposure to this undiscovered treasure trove. Tracks produced by Tony include numbers 1,2,3,5,6,(I think), 8.9.10, and 13. What we have here is mostly Trenton material, but some artists are from Jersey City, Newark, and Camden too.
