12" - 1998 - Pheroes Ent.
Here is the "The Truth", the debut 12" released by Legend a.k.a Kama Kazi from Nottingham, UK. It came out in 1998 on Pheroes Entertainment, a record label managed by Kama Kazi himself (Simeon Rose) and Big Trev a.k.a Trevor Rose.
The record consists of 4 tracks titled "The Truth" (Radio Edit & Instrumental) and "Search For a Leader" (Radio Edit) on the A-side, and "A Talented Thug" (Radio Edit & Instrumental), "Dreams (Guided Only By My Intuition)" (Original & Instrumental) on the B-side.
All the productions were handled by Courtney Rose a.k.a Viking. I'm pretty sure Trevor and Courtney are brothers. Simeon might be a third brother or perhaps a cousin.
I don't know if you've connected the dots, but Viking and Trevor Rose were members of the Nottingham group Pure Genius, founded in the early '90s with the other original members Law, Nicky Fogo, Framps, KID (RIP) and DJ Fever. Trevor Rose also headed the label Pure Pressure Records, which released the group's two 12-inches "Unbelievable / Undercover" in 1995 and "Law of the Land EP" in 1996. We'll talk about these 12-inches in another blog post. Peace
