" This isn’t just another record — it’s a statement. The Premise marks a definitive chapter from Baltimore’s own Ill Conscious, a lyricist with deep roots in authentic 90s-inspired hip-hop who’s held his own alongside legends and elite underground poets alike. His pen blends conscious commentary, raw street insight, and elevated wordplay with the lived experience of the culture — a style that’s won him stages, freestyles and respect from the B-Boy community and beyond.
On this 13-track vinyl, every beat is crafted by acclaimed producer Finn, a Toronto-based beat artisan whose dusty boom-bap, soulful loops and head-nod melodies create the perfect backdrop for Ill’s intelligent delivery. Their synergy — first glimpsed on singles like “Tuthmosis” — brings out a hypnotic depth that rewards repeat listens.
Across features with respected spitters like Rome Cee, Snook Da Crook, King Magnetic, Recognize Ali, Mandriq, Asun Eastwood and DJ Grazzhoppa, this vinyl edition encapsulates classic lyricism, tight chemistry and underground ethos. Pressed on classic black vinyl and limited to 300 copies worldwide, this is a true collector’s piece — heavyweight, authentic and built for heads who cherish hip-hop culture. No repress planned — once these are gone, they’re gone." - courtesy of Vinyl Digital

Brick City-based rapper DBS dropped this 12" in 1997 on Word Of Mouth Entertainment. It features the tracks "Any & Everybody" and "Intelligent Rudeness", all produced by DBS himself and co-produced by a kat called Mr Genie.
In the mid-80s, DBS started in a crew called S.B.C., an acronym for Superb Brilliant and Capable of Anything, which included his cousin Zamn, two DJs and dancers. When his cousin joined the army, DBS became a solo emcee and formed a new crew called Da Bade Snachaz. After the group eventually fell apart, he performed under several names, including R.I.M.P. DBS (Rude Intelligent Mutha Phucka Da Bade Snacha) and Da Bade Snacha. Later, when he teamed up with Keith D. Wright II a.k.a Kryme to record music, Kryme suggested shortening the name to DBS.
Kryme was working as an intern in a marketing and promotions department when DBS began developing his sound. After failing to get the expected interest from record labels, they decided to release the music independently. As a result, they created Word of Mouth Entertainment specifically to launch DBS and build buzz on their own.
"Intelligent Rudeness" is definitely the best track on the record and certainly the main reason to want to add this release to your independent hip-hop 12" collection. It's rare to see this record for sale, so don't wait too long if you see one available. Peace
