Lackadaisical - Shameless Self Promotion - 2022
EP - 2022 - Vulgar
It 's time to listen to some good 90s hip-hop from the South Bay Area fellas !!!
"Shameless Self Promotion" is the first and only album originally released as a demo tape in 1995 by the San Jose-based group Lackadaisical. Those demos definitely deserved a proper release on vinyl, now it's done with the help of Etienne and his Record Label Vulgar.
If you don't know Lackadaisical you need to know that the group consisted of Demone Carter a.k.a Dem One, Sultan Banks a.k.a Sultan (pronounced Soo-Tahn) later known as Traxamillion (RIP) who unfortunately passed away earlier this year, and Jesse Jones (RIP), rapper and graffiti artist who was shot in the back and killed by the Police in Banning, Ca in June 2006... In the early 90s, Lackadaisical, The Dereliks and Aeropause formed the crew called Phameph a.k.a Family Effort.

"Shameless Self Promotion" is a 9-Track EP produced by Dem One, Sultan Banks and Hen Boogie of The Dereliks. In 2012, Dem One wrote on his Lifeafterhiphop Blog that "These songs are literally the first things we ever recorded in a real recording studio. This is straight ahead backpack boom bap 90’s hip-hop. Our energy was raw but thanks to our rap mentors The Dereliks, this project came out sounding really polished considering it was made by teenagers."
It includes a 4-pages booklet with various photographs commented by Dem One and liner notes by David Ma. Front drawing by Z-Man. Layout & label drawings by Rimrimrim.
120 copies only ... Don't Sleep !
Shipping Date : April 30th 2022
RIP JESSE JONES

Dirty Science Crew - They Be Loving Me - 1996
12" - 1996 - Mad Noize Muzic
Dirty Science Crew was a group consisting of Freak, Alcatraz, Brainstorm the Alien (also known under the name Freestyle The Alien), Exotic and AP (Asiatic Puerto Rican).
Brainstorm the Alien was the core member of the group. He came to Maryland from the Dominican Republic in 84. All I know about the connection between all the group members is that Brainstorm met Freak in high school freshmen year in 85-86 and Alcatraz who was from Yonkers in another high school in 89. After that, he met AP who was from Brooklyn in 91 through a mutual friend and Exotic who was from the Bronx in 95 via his cousin. He introduced them to each others and the rest is history !
Their debut 12" came out in 1996 on Mad Noize Music, a small indie record label managed by Patrick "P.S.K." Ammah who Brainstorm The Alien met through a friend back in 92.
Their wax is composed of two singles. The first one on the A-side is titled "They Be Loving Me" produced by Freestyle the Alien and Pafu which was misspelled Pufu on the label, a guy from Texas who moved to Maryland. The second one on the B-side is titled "I Rock The Mic Bay-Bay" produced by Freestyle the Alien. Both singles are available in their Original, Radio Edit and Instrumental versions.

Triflicts - Genuine / Don't Make Me Try - 1996
Here is the debut single "Genuine / Don't Make Me Try" released by Triflicts on Hydra Ent. in 1996. This wax is really affordable and is definitely a must have.
Triflicts was a group consisting of Gab Gotcha, Creech a.k.a Creature and Buc Live hailing from Queens, NY. More precisely Creature and Gab are from Corona, Queens and Buck is from Flushing/ Fresh Meadows.
Creature : " We formed the crew in 1991. Me and Buck Live went to High School together. After I dropped out I went to GED School and met Gab Gotcha. I introduced them to each other and we became a group. "
Between 1993 and 1994, Triflicts recorded a few demos produced by JuJu of the Beatnuts who was from the same area and by James Data a.k.a Jam DOT from Flushing, Queens. Those demos were sent to Island Records and got them a deal. They signed to 4th & Broadway - Island Records and "I'm Terror" produced by Jam DOT was supposed to be the official single but it didn't come out unfortunately...
Creature : " They didn't want to clear the samples or something ... This is 1994, almost 30 years ago... I mean it wasn't a million-dollar deal... lol ... only a single with an option for an album. We were young and we made mistakes. Things like that happen but I am very happy to be able to experience it though."
But their manager had a relationship with Hydra Entertainment so they decided to drop a single with them. That's how their debut single "Genuine / Don't Make Me Try" produced by JuJu of the Beatnuts was born.
On January 11th 1996, they were invited by Stretch & Bobbito on WKCR. Here is the interview & Freestyle aired that night.
Unfortunately it was their first and only official single ... After that Gab Gotcha was incarcerated ... and Buck Live quit music so that kind of brought the group to an end. The demos that got them signed to Island got put out a few years ago on the French label Sergent Records.
For the info, Creature is still in the game under the name of Creaturenomics. He dropped a bunch of solo stuff through the years and he has recently released his latest EP entitled "Hunt for the Future" on Vinyl & CD, with the help of Chopped Herring Records.
Mad Props to Creature. thanks for your time.
