TRIIP - Keep It Flowin' - 1994


12" - 1994 - SDXL Records


Saeida Hall a.k.a Triip came from Park Slope, Brooklyn. 
In 1994, her first and only single named "Keep It Flowin'" came out on SDXL Records. It was released on tape (Radio version and Funk Mix version) and on vinyl (Keep It Flowin' Re-Mix), everything fully produced by George Thorpe a.k.a Self for Down Low Hudz Productions.

As you can read on the label of the record, the original version of the single was supposed to be on the forthcoming album named "Jazzalistics" but the album never came out. 

In July 1995, Triip was invited by Stretch and Bobbito on WKCR for the promo of her 12", here is the interview and freestyle recorded during that show. The same year she featured on the track "Da Ladies In The House" released by Big Kap and featuring Da Ladies, a collective of female emcees who consisted of Bahamadia, Lauryn Hill, Precise, Triip and Uneek. 
One year later she worked with Nick Wiz and recorded the track "No Tricks in 96", which will be included in the Cellar Sounds Volume 5 1992-1998 released by Gentleman's Relief Records in 2017... that's the last song officially recorded by Triip.
