LAW - Lethal Assault Weapons Pt. 1 - 1995

EP - 1995 - Sunset Blvd Ent. 

LAW a.k.a Lyricits At War released that "Lethal Assault Weapons Pt. 1" EP on Sunset Blvd Entertainment in 1995. This is a 6-track EP, sampler of their full debut album released on CD and Cassette the same year. 

The Crew is composed of 11 cats hailing from LA (1600 Carmona Blocc a.k.a Carmona Avenue) : Mr Fritenite, Dainjah, Ambush, Waar, Ace Da Bounty Hunta, Masta Black, Warlock, Xaqshuna, Synista, Keif Naps and Siiix 6 Siiix. 

All the tracks of the Lethal syde (A-Side) and the Assault syde (B-Side) are produced by Waar, Synista and Siiix 6 Siiix for 3rd Rage Productions. 

Put away all your West Coast Rap clichés, the style is far away from all the West Coast anthems or videos with girls, booze and pool parties... this is strictly hardcore shit !!! The wax is pretty cheap so you should definitely put it on your shelf without a doubt.

Demo Tape : The Ruph Headz

Here is a Demo tape review of the Brooklyn based group The Ruph Headz (Raw Universal Pot Heads dat stay High Everyday All Day Zonin), written in Beat Down Magazine in 1996 (Scan courtesy of my homie Fred Thecle). They're talking about 2 unknown Ruph Headz tracks, named "Ruff Headz" and "Puff Da La" which are not on their different wax released in 1995 and in 1996. I've asked to all the tape diggers around me but no one have this demo tape... so I hope someone has got that tape in his stash and could unearth these demos... Please let me know if you own It !!!
