North & South Carolina Underground Part 2

This collection of tracks is sort of a reprise to 'North Vs South Carolina'. For those who slept, here is a link to that post if you want to go back and check it out again.

In the meantime, let's dig into the meat and potatos of today's course. The breadth and depth of hip hop from the Carolinas is mind boggling. Sure some of the lyrical styles found on these tracks are influenced by the tri-state area, but both North and South Carolina have their own well deserved reputations. The whole compilation is pretty obscure so if you're looking for that rare ish dig in and hold on tight.

South Click - Rebel Slave (South Carolina 1998)

Today I bring you the 2nd album from South Click. This was put out by 'Power Records' in 1998. They have 3 albums total. Their 1st album is a classic and this one is pretty good too. The 2nd effort is more political, deeper, more developed. There are so many liner notes it is a little overwhelming. I'll settle for simply sharing the music itself with you. These guys are defenitely coming from a 5%er perspective.
