Willmatic - Surround Surveillance / Tru Story (Ave) - 2003


12" - 2003 - Last Kind Entertainment 


The Bronx-based MC Willmatic, better known under the name of  Wildelux and former member of the hip-hop groups The Silent Onez from NYC and The Last Kind from Los Angeles with M-Fly, Megalawge a.k.a R-Diggy, Dj TMK, D-Strong and MajaClout, dropped in 2003 his first official solo 12" fully produced by Megalawge (Maxwell Gooding).

The wax is composed of the tracks "Surround Surveillance" & "Tru Story (Ave)", both available in their EP, Clean Edit, and Instrumental versions. 

To be honest I like both tracks but the B-side single "Tru Story (Ave)" is definitely the best one for me. For its production, Megalawnge used the sample of "Up Against the Wall" performed by Quincy Jones from The Lost Man Original Soundtrack released in 1969. All the scratches were done by the legendary Kut Masta Kurt.
