EP - 1996 - Fondle' Em Records
This 6-track EP came out on the legendary Bobbito Garcia's imprint Fondle 'Em Records and was fully produced by Jon Adler. The EP also features Ken Boogaloo who was a member of the Brighton Beach-based group Wee Bee Foolish with Yeshua, Extraordinaire and DJ Bless who did all the cuts on this project.
In 1996, the Brooklyn-based duo consisting of Siah from Manhattan Beach and Yeshua DapoED from Brighton Beach released a true masterpiece named "The Visualz EP".
Some people may be more tempted by the CD version, "The Visualz Anthology", released in 2008 on Traffic Entertainment Group / Head Bop Music, which features 20 tracks, but the original vinyl EP is widely considered one of the finest releases in Fondle 'Em Records' catalog and a cult classic among fans of abstract East Coast hip-hop, and it remains a must-have in my opinion.
After the group dissolved, Siah gradually stepped away from the underground hip-hop scene and later focused on political and social issues related to the Middle East. Yeshua remained active within New York's independent hip-hop scene and continued collaborating with artists connected to the late 90s underground movement.
