Shawn J Period - Production Spotlight

Shawn J Period was a dope mid-to-late 90s producer that hooked up beats for The Artifacts, Bush Babees, Mad Skillz, Mos Def, Black Star, J-Treds, etc. He became a born-again christian right around the turn of the century, and shortly thereafter, he disappeared from the hip hop scene. Here's a two volume set of tracks that he produced between the years of 1996 and 1999. He also handled production for his group "Down South" between the years of 1994 and 1995, so I'm including a link for their "Lost In Brooklyn" LP. Be aware that his Down South era production style is drastically different from the sound that he provided between the years of 1996 and 1999.

Hot 97 Radio Freestyles Pt.3 (1996)

Here's volume 4 of the Hot 97 Freestyle AllStars vinyl series. This is probably the release with the least rare freestyles since most of the ones included were featured on Funkmaster Flex "60 Minutes of Funk Vol.1". But for example, you get the full session of the Redman & Keith Murray freestyle which is 15 min. long while it was cut short to 4 min. in the Funk Flex mixtape. The other exclusive freestyles are from Da Bush Babees, Jay-Z, and Krs-One.

A1. Redman & Keith Murray - Freestyle
B1. Da Bush Babees - Freestyle
B2. Krs-One - Freestyle
B3. Jay-Z - Freestyle
B4. Fugees - Freestyle
B5. Erick Sermon - Freestyle
B6. Redman & Method Man - Freestyle
B7. Busta Rhymes - Freestyle
B8. Q-Tip - Freestyle

Fifty Remixes You Need To Hear (11-20)

11. KMD ft. MF Grimm "What A Niggy Know" (Remix)

12. Lord Finesse "S.K.I.T.S." (Remix)

The original was sparser and more raw, but this remix is more layered, ringing, and insistent, which lends itself well to the tone of alarm being conveyed. Adding Big L to the chorus was an excellent decision.

13. Common Sense "Soul By The Pound" (Thump Mix)

14. Casual "That's How It Is" (Disshowwedo Remix)

15. Grand Puba ft. Sadat X "I Like It" (Buckwild Remix)

This one isn't hugely different from the hit original, but Buckwild manages to give it a more hardcore feel without sacrificing its mass appeal. Sadat X.'s cameo is one of his finest.

16. Artifacts "Dynamite Soul II" (Lip Service Remix)

17. Aceyalone "Mic Check" (Kemo Remix)

Kemo's version of Aceyalone's catchy ode to rocking shows and raking in the dough was the top finalist in a remix contest announced on the original's sleeve. Besides being a banger of a beat, it also complements Aceyalone's whimsical vocals quite well.

18. Camp Lo "Coolie High" (Paradise Remix)

Only Camp-Lo can out-smooth Camp-Lo. This version pulls off that sultry slick nonsensical jewel heist vibe that these BX rhymers consistently aimed for in their heyday.

19. Bush Babees "Remember Me" (Salaam Remi Remix)

20. Alkaholiks "Mary Jane" (Remix)

Here are all 10 in one file:
