Unbiased Ghetto Opinion - The Rare 90s Joints EP - 2025




Indie heads might know U.G.O [Unbiased Ghetto Opinion] from Stevano U.G.O.'s 1999 split 12" on Echo International, but Golden Era headz have been searching for these rare AF gems forever.  U.G.O. and his family came to the States in the early 90's from Nigeria bringing with them a distinct sound almost entirely influenced by U.S. East Coast Hip Hop. They settled in Washington, D.C. and self-released all their records, simultaneously learning the record game.

 

Some exceptionally rare OG's on this one yo! There are 2 tracks off the impossible to find 1992  vinyl EP as well as one KILLER from the cassette version that is making its first appearance on wax. Also included is the as-hard2find "Feel This" jawn [only 7 people on DIscogs CLAIM they have it in their collection]. As well as these heaters, we have included 2 joints from 1994 including "Straight from the Heart" which features Knowledge aka Doodlebug from Digable Planets.

 

I know some cats will be saying where is this track and where is that track - some of the masters were corrupted over the years so their inclusion was impossible - BUT there might be some better versions somewhere, and the hunt continues.... " - courtesy of Chopped Herring Records

Born Discipline - Brothers Wanna Clown Around - 1993



 

Here is the first and only 12" released by Born Discipline, a duo which was comprised of D.O. and Born from Jersey City, New Jersey. It came out in 1993 on Low Frequency Recordings (LF Recordings), a very small label which was founded in 1992 by Craig Bevan after the breakup of the Bassment Records label. Low Frequency Recordings had no budgets for any promo, so the records worked at the retail and mixshows at the time. I don't know more about Born & D.O., I've sent them some messages to get more info but no answers unfortunately...

The 12" consists of 5 songs titled "Brothers Wanna Clown Around" which is the main single, "Brothers (Acid Jazz hip-hop Instrumental)", "Why-O-Why", "Where You At" and "Clown Beats", everything produced by Craig Bevan with scratches by DJ Chillout. Buy it if you like it !

DJ Filthy Rich Presents The Main Ingredient 30th Anniversary Mix

 



DJ Filthy Rich is back with a brand new Anniversary Mix dedicated to the legendary album "The Main Ingredient", released by Pete Rock & CL Smooth in 1994 on Elektra.


" Tribute mix celebrating Pete Rock & CL Smooth's masterpiece 'The Main Ingredient', which turned 30 recently. 'Mecca & The Soul Brother' is the more iconic/important album, but Main Ingredient slowly became my favorite over the years.....for a lot of the same reasons I lean to ATCQ's Midnight Marauders over Low End Theory.
Pete's production went from a harder/dusty sound on MATSB, to a warm/melodic vibe on TMI. The samples Pete chose hit your soul in that sweet spot: from Cannonball Adderley on 'In The House', to George Benson on 'I Get Physical' + 'In The Flesh', to Roy Ayers on 'Searching'....masterful. Pair that with CL's smooth voice & flow, and your soul starts to vibrate.... " - courtesy of DJ Filthy Rich
