Here is an interesting debut 12" released in the mid 90s by the rap trio Swollen Members, consisted of the Canadian emcees Mad Child & Prevail and DJ Zodak. It came out in 1997 on Battle Axe Records, a record label based at that time in Vancouver, Canada and managed by the group members.
12" - 1997 - Battle Axe Records
The A-side of the wax consists of the tracks "Shatter Proof " and "Consumption" featuring Aceyalone, both tracks produced by Evidence of Dilated Peoples and easily the best tracks of the 12-Inch. A sample of "Orange Lady" performed by The Weather Report in 1971 is used by Evidence for the production of "Shatterproof", and for the production of "Consumption" he used a sample of "The Rite of Spring" performed by Hubert Laws in 1971.
The B-side is composed of the tracks "Sunburn" feat Mix Master Mike and "Paradise Lost" featuring Tony Da Skitzo and Mr Brady, both tracks produced by DJ Zodak.
