All Around Incredibles - All Arounds The Bomb / Maintain To Drain - 1997

 



In 1997, this wax was released on Tall Entertainment Inc by a group called All Around Incredibles. This group was comprised of 2 emcees named Rick Parker a.k.a Rick Steelz a.k.a Nebulous and Kwame Boyd a.k.a Kwam Kataclizm, and the producer Fredrick Addo a.k.a Des Divine. They were also partners in creating the independent record label Tall Entertainment Inc.

About their story, you need to know that they all met in college when they were at West Virginia University (WVU). Nebulous was originally from Jersey, Kataclizm was originally from Ohio and Des was from NY. Nebulous and Kataclizm met first in 1994 and made their first studio recordings. They met Des in 1995. That is the All Around Incredibles because they were all dope and from different hoods. In 1996, the crew dropped their first 4-track EP entitled "Scarred Soldiers" on tape only. 



This rare 12" contains 2 tracks entitled "All-Arounds The Bomb" (Remix, Radio & Instrumental) on the A-Side which is produced by Des and "Maintain To Drain" on the B-side which is produced by Nebulous, Kataclizm and Des.

Vaughn Smith – Diamondz And Pearlz 2xLP - 2024

 

2xLP - 2024 - Hip-Hop Enterprise 


Almost one year after the release of the CD format, Hip Hop Enterprise is back with the vinyl treatment of Vaughn Smith's debut album "Diamondz and Pearlz" which was originally dropped on tape in 1996. 

"The incredibly rare cassette-only 1996 debut of North Philly's Vaughn Smith has finally been restored on this brand-new vinyl edition from Hip-Hop Enterprise. Diamondz and Pearlz is a surprisingly mature, understated and jazzy album that sounds better now than it ever has before.⁠

Working with Smith, who produced all 14 tracks himself, the original DAT masters were recovered but severely damaged, so this release was remastered by Jee Van Cleef from an original tape in addition to further vinyl mastering.⁠


The artwork was started by LDL but due to his busy schedule Manu the Muk took over and brought everything to an impressive end. The album will also come with an insert that features an all-new, exclusive Vaughn Smith interview by Werner von Wallenrod." - courtesy of HHE


Available on Transparant Green Vinyl w/ OBI (100 copies / de Rap Winkel Records Exclusive, coming next week), on Crystal Vinyl⁠ (100 copies, HHV Exclusive)⁠ and on Black Vinyl⁠ (100 copies)

High Side Infantry - High Chant / Contact - 1995


12" - 1995 - High Side Records 


Here is another very hard to find 12" released in 1995 by the Brooklyn-based crew High Side Infantry. The wax is composed of the tracks "High Chant" on the A-side and "Contact" on the B-side, both produced by Moose and co-produced by Sin Deep.



No informations about this group on the internet, so let me bring you some ... High Side Infantry was a crew from Park Slope, Brooklyn which was consisted of 4 MCs named Sin Deep, Excell, Rags, B-Y, and 1 Producer named Mike Moose. Everything began for the group in the early 90s with Sin Deep and Excell who ran together. Rags and B-Y who also lived in the same neighborhood were added, and in the late '93, Moose was introduced to them through a mutual friend called Wor Whosane. 

High Side Infantry had other members affiliated like Strange, Blunt, Lochness from Splattahouse, Draz & Ced (RIP) from Mega Vibes, Wor Whosane, the legendary PH a.k.a Pumpkinhead (RIP) and War Bixby from The Speedknotz who also appears on the track "Contact".



Unfortunately there isn't another wax dropped by this crew after that one because High Side Infantry had no management and couldn't get deal that wasn't a ripoff. From what I know, they had other 8 songs recorded but they lost the dats and reels ...
