Interview : The Street Report - Ep #17 - Gee Rock 40 years of Hip Hop
"In this episode I talk to Gee Rock. One of the earliest rappers out of NJ Gee Rock makes his own beats writes his rhymes engineers and produces videos. Gee let his heart make the decisions for him instead of chasing the dollar. What he has now is a long standing body of work that he can be very proud of." - Jeff Woodard, The Street Report

NATIVE NUTTZ
Hailing from Atlanta (GA), Native Nuttz consisted of 2 members : Leemil Edmond a.k.a Dureya and Joseph Davis a.k.a Joey Jo. They met together at Osborne High School in Smyrna (GA).
One album "The Nativez Are Restless" released on CD & Tape and one twelve inches "Skin Flower / 40 Oz. Of Funk" will certainly be the only physical copies you can find from this group. Both released in 1994 on Down Payment Records and everything produced by Aldrin Davis a.k.a Dj Toomp.
12" - 1994 -
According to one of their friend Maestro Lungs, a second album has been recorded in 1997 and the production was done by the unofficial third member Mr. Piper who also appeared on the track "Rock Rock On" from the first album.
I'd like to give this unreleased album a listen especially if it is as the same quality as the first one... We could hope that one day It will see the light of day !
They didn't really split after that. They made music with a group called Bad Blood but everything ended for Dureya on October 2010 due to law problems.

If in 1998 you saw this album at your local record store, you may not have bought it because you judged it quickly by its cover which did not suit the criteria of an hip-hop album cover of the time. But mistake ... this album was definitely a classic...
Few original copies (CD & Tape) from 1998 and still in shrink wrap are still available via the label House Of Abdul. Ask Here !!

Stahhr the F.E.M.C.E.E - RhymeFluid - 2002
12" - 2002 - Sub Verse Music
Stahhr is an Atlanta based hip-hop MC from Memphis, TN. You should probably know her due to the fact she has been working with a lot of artists since 2002 : MF Doom, The Micranots, John Robinson, Lewis Parker, Kyo Itachi, Boog Brown and many more...
"Skilled in the art of lyrical alchemy, staHHr, has been perfecting her craft and honing her lyrical warrior skills since the latter part of hip hop’s” Golden Era”. Carving a niche for herself by interweaving intellect, natural law, metaphysics and social awareness with the essence of pure, unadulterated hip hop, she consistently provides a welcome breath of fresh air."
Her first record came out in 2002, a 12" single released on Sub Verse Music and produced by Locsmif and the Scienz of Life member ID 4 Windz. The wax is really cheap and I think could take a place in your collection.
For my CD Headz , the CD single is available Here and an album called "Almost Neva Was" was released in 2008, is available Here !

Corner 2 Corner - Anyday / Corners 2 Corporations - 1996
Corner 2 Corner was a Brooklyn based hip-hop group. The nucleus of the crew was DJ Panama a.k.a. Lou Esco and John "CJ" Faison.
Three other members rounded out the crew : LES, Jitter a.k.a J-Funk and Universal.
12" - Timeless Ent.
The original 12" came out in 1996 on Timeless Entertainment, but the pic above shows the Japanese bootleg released in 2010. Sorry but I've never found an OG in a record store and can't afford the copies for sale on the internet ... First track "Anyday" was produced by Lou Esco and contains a sample of "Help (Somebody Please)" performed by the O'Jays. The other track on the B-side "Corners 2 Corporations" was produced by Arthur Rhoden, real name of J-Funk.
