Ley Da Natural - Mind State - 1996

12" - 1996 - CMC Records

Straight outta the Netherlands and dropped in 1996 on CMC Records, this 12" brings together two local heavyweights from the Dutch underground scene. The female emcee Empress on the A-side with her single "This Is What You Want" (Vocal, Instrumental, Acapella) produced by Brotha R. Cazmo, and the Amsterdam-based rapper Ley Da Natural on the B-side with his single "Mind State" (Vocal, Instrumental, Acapella) produced by DJ Precise (RIP), which is definitely the best track of the record and the real reason this 12" deserves a spot in your crate.

"Mind State" also features Rollarocka a.k.a Shy Rock who is another talented rapper from Netherlands, known as one half of the duo Amo Lab with the late DJ Precise who sadly passed away in 2020.

By the way, if you're looking for something released by this duo, I recommend you to buy the hard to find 12" (No Stress / Pop Blows The Nine) released in 1995 on Blue Funk. Both tracks are dope !!
