Here is a track recently uploaded by Indie Cratez on his youtube Channel. This song was released on 12" with the help of Hed Bangin' Records (not Hed Ballin' as written on Discogs) in 1999. The production of the track is handled by Louie G and the emcee is named Fatsock Nickels from East New York, Brooklyn.

Fatsock Nickels dedicated this song to all who returned to the essence, especially Ian "Elo" Moore, 17 and Tyrone "Dizzy" Sinkler, 16 who were shot to death on February 26, 1992 by Khalil Sumpter, 15 in the second-floor hallway of Thomas Jefferson High School, a red-brick fortress in East New York, one of the city's most violent neighborhoods at that time.
About the 12", the other tracks are also from Fatsock Nickels. The second track on the B-side entitled "Young Bukz" is produced by the Heatmakerz, who also produced "What We Call Home" on the A-side. I've never listened to the other tracks but "Died In Vain" is a good reason to buy this 12".
APPRECIATE YALL! DIED IN VAIN IS ONE OF MY MOST PRECIOUS GEMS!
