U.S.C. Hip Hop NYC Real Deal Underground

When i first saw this compilation in the store, i must admit that the only artists that were familiar to me were Screwball and Godfather Don. After spotting the production credits from DJ Spinna, The Beatnuts, Erick Sermon and Marley Marl, I thought that I could handle the cost and copped it. I never regretted this investment.

There is no track that i can say is a weak link. I'm still unfamiliar with two names on here, Slade Savage and Big Meal, so feel free to fill me in on their info if you know anything.

You will enjoy this one, we can guarantee you that.

Jigmastas - Beyond Real 1996 (DVD Video Rip)

Since '96, Brooklyn's DJ Spinna and MC Kriminal have been turning out fresh underground hip hop of the highest caliber. The Jigmastas debuted with their first official 12" "Beyond Real" on their self titled label "Beyond Real Recordings" in 1996. They had actually appeared on two compilations prior to their debut 12" in '94 & '95 but they're mostly known for their "Beyond Real" record; Bomb Hip Hop in 1994 & Blackmarket Unreleased in 1995, one track on each to be exact. But back to "Beyond Real" this is the joint that made them bigger on the underground scene. They also recorded a video for it which i'm bringing to you today. I got it a while back, can't remember where.. It was titled as a dvdrip even though I don't know what dvd it could have been from. The video quality is top notch though. I'll give it 10 for an 90's underground video quality. I think that it's pretty rare to find. I also included the full 12" rip of "Beyond Real" below the video download. Enjoy,

Bonus: Beyond Real / Dead Man's Walk 12" (1996)

DJ Spinna: Instrumental Review (By Roy Johnson)

Cop The New DJ Spinna Album!!

DJ Premier “Planet Of The Beats Volume 1”

I got this LP years ago from hiphopsite.com. I can't quite remember the year, nor can I find any real information about it, so let's just say it was 2002. I placed my order, waited several weeks only to find out they had sold out and wouldn't be getting any more. They issued me a store credit and I moved on with my life. About 2 months later a mysterious package arrived on my door step, and now I share with you:

"DJ Premier presents Empire Management production. An original one of a kind release "Planet Of The Beats Volume 1". A reflection of classic hip hop instrumentals combined with movie dialogues from great movies. Featuring music from DJ Premier, Mobb Deep, A Tribe Called Quest, The Beatnuts, DJ Spinna, Show & AG & others. Recorded at D&D Studios N.Y.C., U.S.A."

Big Kwam

Big Kwam was one of my favorite underground MC's from the mid-late 90's. I can't say I know a lot about him so please fill me in. What I do know is he was down with The Creators and only released 12" singles via Blind Side Records, a London label. Big Kwam and Big Twan had great chemisty like Tony Bones had Mr. Live, unfortunately most of those cats are now M.I.A.

If you have more material or info regarding Big Kwam, please let us know.

J-Live - Always Has Been

In 1995, J-Live released his first 12" "Longevity/Braggin' Writes" on Raw Shack Productions. The b-side, Braggin' Writes, was featured in many mixtapes, including New York Reality Check 101 which was mixed by DJ Premier. In 1996, he would release his second 12" "Can I Get It?/Hush The Crowd". The highlight of that 12", was the Domecraker Remix of Braggin' Writes that was produced by DJ Spinna. J-Live would also be featured in the Nov. 95 issue of The Source in the Unsigned Hype section. In 2003, J-Live released an EP called "Always Has Been" that contained all the tracks from his early 12"s + an unreleased track that didn't make "The Best Part".

DJ Spinna: Instrumental Review

When you think of dope producers from the late 90s, DJ Spinna's name should immediately come to mind, but chances are that it won't, as his clientele consisted primarily of mediocre crews like the Jigmastas, Old World Disorder, NOTS Click, etc. Luckily, just about all of Spinna's best tracks have been released in instumental format.

Here are some of my personal favorites. Drop me a line in the comments field and let me know which beat you're feeling the most. I'd have to go with "Never Minded". A good 2/3 of these beats are elite-level in my estimation, though. It's really hard to choose.
