Back to the early 90s with this 12", the first record released by legendary MC Percee-P the Rhyme Inspector from Patterson Housing Projects, South Bronx. It came out in 1992 on Big Beat Records and features the tracks "Now They Wanna See Me" with Ekim (Cuts/Scratches by DJ Dr Butcher), "Puttin' Heads to Bed" and the excellent "Lung Collapsing Lyrics" featuring Pharoahe Monch of Organized Konfusion who went to high school with Percee P. This track was featured in The Source's Fat Tape of October 1992.
On November 29th 1990, Lord Sear brought Percee-P onto the scene as one of the very first guests on the brand new Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito radio show, a move that would quietly set things in motion for one of the Bronx's sharpest lyricists.
Lord Sear had known about Percee-P for years through his brother Dice, a respected local MC who'd learned to rhyme under the guidance of their uncle, MC Coolly Breeze. Back then, Breeze was part of the Undefeated Four, the same crew that included none other than T La Rock, Bronx royalty in his own right.
That night marked Percee-P's first ever appearance on the airwaves. His delivery was raw, and impossible to ignore. Stretch, who was juggling his role as A&R at Big Beat Records, wasted no time... he called Percee P the very next day and Big Beat gave him a deal... the rest is history.
It was the start of a journey that would cement Percee P's place among the Bronx underground's most technically gifted MCs, a reputation built not on hype, but on pure lyrical precision.
