Let's talk about the group War Click and their track "Bullet For A Bullet" released on the B-side of the Unsigned Artists compilation album dropped in 1997. The first time I heard this song was back in '97, on JR Ewing's legendary mixtape "Pour Tes Oreilles".
War Click was a group from Brooklyn consisting of Trife, Potent, Drama, Sinbo, Dog a.k.a Doggie Diamonds & C-Fel. They all grew up in the same Brooklyn neighborhood (Atlantic Terminal Houses) and they started War Click (a.k.a W.A.R. a.k.a Wanted And Respected) in 1996. In the beginning there were about 10 cats in the group but it ended with only 6... everyone played a part, but some pushed themselves harder than the others...
In my opinion, "Bullet For A Bullet" is by far the best song on this Unsigned Artists comp. It features Trife, C-Fel, Drama and Potent with the production handled by Doggie Diamonds. The group got on this compilation thanks to one of the executive producers, named Slick Love, who was also from the same neighborhood. Unfortunately, on the day they recorded Sinbo was absent, so he's the only member of the group who doesn't appear on the single.
For the story, Tone from Track Masters was from the same Projects. In the early 90s, Drama and Doggie Diamonds were signed to him before they started War Click. Back then, they were in a group called LB's (a.k.a Lil' Bastards) and in 1992 they released a single called "Bitch Get A Job" on Livin' Large Records. In 1999, Trife's brother Scrizz and his cousin Flav started Trife Life Records. W.A.R. went on to release three records on this label in the early 2000s.
From what I know, Doggie Diamonds produced everything but a lot of their music was destroyed in a flood, however Trife still has the Masters for about 5 unreleased songs... so maybe all those tracks will see the light of day and fingers crossed they're as good as the classic "Bullet For A Bullet".
