Steady B - Bogardin Remix - 1994

12" - 1994 - Feature Records 

This wax was released by the philly-based MC Steady B in 1994 on Feature Records. 2 songs are available on it, "Bogardin" Original & Remix versions on the A-side and "Let It Go" on the B-side. "Bogardin Remix" is definitely the best track of the 12", produced by Steady B & Damon Kelly a.k.a Dame "Deuce" Dollaz. The track features Brom a.k.a Brom Cognito who is a member of the group Tainted Mindz. 

This 12" is important in Steady B's discography because I think it's the last record dropped by Steady B before going to jail in 1996. For those who don't know the story, Hilltop Hustlers' Steady B (born Warren McGlone) and Cool C (born Christopher Roney) who also was Steady B's partner in the group C.E.B, robbed a Philadelphia PNC Bank on January. 2, 1996. During the bank robbery attempt, a police officer was coldly murdered. Cool C was convicted in 1996 for the first-degree murder of Police Officer Lauretha Vaird (RIP) and was sentenced to the Death Penalty, while Steady B was sentenced to Life imprisonment.

About the wax, it's part of the 12" which are really easy to catch online for less than 20$... it's not really an indie grail but it's a good 12"!
