Here is something I dug at Marché Dauphine, Saint Ouen Flea Market in Paris last weekend. This is a compilation EP entitled "Ill Mentals" coming straight from Montreal, Québec, Canada. It was released on wax and CD in 2000.
The wax consists of 8 tracks : 4 tracks on the A-side entitled "Ronin" produced by DJ Choice featuring Chilán a.k.a Noman, Chance One and Unknown (of Agent Orange), "Ghetto Youth" produced by Dave One featuring Mr. Len Sosa and Manchilde (of The Butta Babees), "365" produced by DJ Choice (of Dubmatique) featuring Chilán and the female emcee Dee (of Atach Tatuq) who spits in French, and "Raise The Stakes" produced by Hadji & LMO featuring DJ Storm (of Shades Of Culture) and DJ Devious on the Scratches/Cuts. The B-side contains the instrumental versions and one accapella.
For the info, all those artists were originally from Montreal, Canada except LMO who was originally from Maryland (USA) and was part of a crew named Third Eye Movement which was comprised of MCs, Producers and Musicians. LMO moved to Canada, met Hadji and formed the duo Hadji & LMO. Hadji was murdered in a Montreal night club in the early/mid 2000s and LMO passed away a few years ago... Rest in Peace. DJ Storm and DJ Choice are still in the music industry, but I don't know about the others.
