The Outfit - The Outfit - 1997




Here is the second 12" dropped by The Outfit, a group from Newark Delaware, comprised of Jason Williamson a.k.a Jas Mace (pronounced Jace Mace), Marcus Watkins a.k.a Marchitect and Greg Watkins a.k.a The Count a.k.a Grouchy, who is Marchitect's older brother. At that time Jas Mace and Marchitect also formed the duo called the 49ers.

The EP consists of 4 tracks "Why I don't know?" produced by Marchitect, "Day In Night Out", "The Outfit Presents..." and "Rise  & Shine" produced by Greg Watkins who used two other different monikers for the production credits : Strata-G and Fuqua. Two other MCs feature on the record, Herb Neal a.k.a the (Original) Dead Prez on the track "The Outfit Presents..." and Nathan Watkins a.k.a Assassinate, who is the third Watkins brother, on the track "Rise & Shine".



This 12" is definitely something to own in your record collection. I also recommend you to grab the debut Marchitect's 12" entitled "Dead In Your Tracks / Rings And Things" which was released in 1994 on Supreme Science.
