"After a bad departure from Payroll Records, former in-house producer and Bizzie Boyz member Andreao Heard was furious and a man on mission. He decided to hook up with the hungriest new producer in the camp, a cat from NC named Mark Sparks...
Mark Sparks had a raw and dirty style in contrary to Heard's style which more clean and commercial. Heard and T.R. Raynor came up with a plan to release a compilation album, with Andreao Heard producing one side and Marks Sparks producing the other side to attract a wide range of hip-hop fans. On top of that this would also be the first time Heard would get the chance to work with a new promising rapper named Omniscience!
Once the material was completed they sadly were unable to get the record out to the masses and missed a chance in getting radio play and reaching considerable sales. Shortly after the compilation was released Andreao Heard and Mark Sparks went their own way and became very succesful names in the industry. Andreao Heard went on to produce for the likes of Michael Jackson, Will Smith, The Notorious B.I.G, Ma$e, Lil Kim, Anthony Hamilton and more. Mark Sparks went on to produce the underground classic, Kakalaka Raw and did work for Special Ed, Grand Puba, Redhead Kingpin, Salt N Pepa, Mary J Blige and many more." - HipHop Enterprise

Skemen - Under Pressure - 1995
12" - 1995 - Skemen Records
Let's talk about this very good 12" which isn't really hard to find but is a must have in your collection, released by the duo named Skemen who consisted of KC and Gab hailing from Chelsea Projects in Brownsville, Brooklyn.
Gab & KC - Photo courtesy of KC a.k.a Mystere Jones
KC : "In 93 we officially formed the group Skemen. Back then we used to wear ski mask and ski coats with baggy Guess jeans lol. Ske (Ski) - Men (2 of us) = Skemen..."
The wax is composed of 2 tracks, "Under Pressure" on the A-Side which is the lead single of the record produced solely by KC, and "Size 'Em Up Play 'Em" on the B-Side produced by FMS and featuring other Brooklyn-based artists like Rock The MC a.k.a Roc Da Guard, Tone, Unraveltry. The 12" came out on Skemen Records in 1995, a record label managed by KC.
KC : "The connection with Rock The MC, Tone and Unraveltry happened through a local barbershop in Brownsville Brooklyn that they would frequent and shared the same interest in NYC Hip Hop, then decided to collaborate on some music.
FMS which was short for "Foreign Mix Sounds", consisted of two brothers from Brooklyn named D Sorce & Dirty Ox. Their family is from Honduras, hence where we get the "Foreign" in FMS... The Barbershop is what connected us all..."
For those who don't know yet ... after that 12", Roc Da Guard and KC founded the Group called 'Da Noe Doe Network' and released a few 12" singles and EP in 1996 and 1997.
Photo courtesy of KC a.k.a Mystere Jones
KC : "I guess we never expected the record would have such an impact. After that we focused more on Noe Doe group projects, but there was a Skemen's album in the works tho..."
As I know that most of Skemen tracks were produced by KC, we could expect that the unreleased album could see the light of day soon ... fingers crossed !
Mad props to Mystere Jones, thanks for your time.

Damu The Fudgemunk & MF DOOM - Coco Mango Diced 7" - 2019
7" - 2019 - R3DEF
01 - Coco Mango Sliced - MF DOOM - (Power Outage Remix Vocal Version)
02 - Coco Mango Sliced - MF DOOM - (Power Outage Remix Instrumental)
03 - Coco Mango Diced - MF DOOM - (Boy Scout Remix ft Insight)
"In 2011, Paris based production duo the Union collaborated with Doom for their album, Analogtronics on the single, "Coco Mango". This track would be remixed by DC's, Damu the Fudgemunk for a limited 7" that sold out in two weeks and became an underground smash in it's own right. Being a DOOM and Madvillain fan, Damu took to the opportunity to lay 2 remixes both inspired specifically by Madvillain's track "Rhinestone Cowboy".
The results are commonly dubbed "CoCo Mango Sliced" (power outage mix) and "Coco Mango Diced" (boyscout mix). Coco Mango Sliced enlisted a sharp guest verse from Boston's Insight the Truncator. Fun fact: While producing the remixes, Damu lost power in his studio literally after recording a demo of the the first mix and lost the unsaved be in his MPC. That 2 track demo would become what was published, hence the (power outage mix). Instead of recreating the exact same beat he lost, Damu took the same sample and put a different swing on it, giving us remix number 2 (boyscout mix).
Since its original release, these remixes have become known as "the DOOM record you've never heard" due to it's short shelf life. Though a repress would've made perfect sense in 2011, it's now 2019 and these tracks are finally getting a proper reissue. The cover art was handled by well known artist Joe Buck of De La Soul fame and pays homage to DOOM using his signature hand drawn technique accenting a classic masked photo of Damu the Fudgemunk. Everything about this record screams high quality hip hop." - Redefinition Records
The BodySnatchers !
I like unreleased demos and I'm glad people are still sharing rare gems from their vaults online. We can thank Trekan for these unreleased materials from the Silent Ones Family ... some very good stuff from his crib recorded in 1993-1994 by a group hailing from the Bronx named The BodySnatchers. The crew consisted of Ptah, Prop, J Sample and QuickBone.
"We came to this Planet a little over 7000 years ago.
We hit the soil and pushed deep into the earth on the east, in a part of the planet that later became known as The Bronx, New York.
A rumbling ground breaking sound coming from the Speakers of A King called Disco Mario in Bronxdale projects unearthed the pods and awoken a situation bound to take over the ears of all humanity. And in 1973, The invasion began.
A creature calling itself Ptah created a Path built on 808 kicks and James Brown loops that would cause the people in the area to submit undeniable vocal frequencies.
The Primary Prop would then surf the audio arrangements vocally taking over the thoughts of the population. This caused the take over to grow 2 arms that would Cut, Scratch, and Dig into the Body and Bones of the people.
Left Arm, J Sample would cut deep into the Body and memories of mankind, and Right Arm Quick Bone would scratch his way into the Bones and thoughts of all who caught contact.
Our Mentor and Ship’s Captain and Director Trekan would distribute the captured frequencies world wide to make sure we would dominate musically." - Courtesy of Ptah
The BodySnatchers were also known under the name of Funky Edition. The only difference with the BodySnatchas is Trekan produced on some of their records and Pitch Black rhymed on a lot of the songs. Also the name change from Funky Edition to Tha BodySnatchers came after the group changed their sound to make it more "Street".
