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.
