Here is something for the tape diggers ! It comes from my man Napoleon Gee, co-owner of the record store "Thanks For Listening" from Virginia Beach,VA.
To be honest, I've never seen this tape before. It was released in 1997 by the group Vertical Status (Dalu, Soul Sun and Malik Starr) on Most Entertainment Music Group and the tape is listed nowhere. Last time I talked about Vertical Status was when I blogged something about the Fat Noggin Civilianz crew in 2019.
This tape contains 3 tracks titled "Contax","Basic Instinx" and "ZlliksWar" with guest appearance by Majestic of the group Verbale Unknown.
All the productions are handled by L. Sharp a.k.a Malik Starr and J. Davenport a.k.a Stryfe for 19 Nu-Styles Vibe Masters Productions, except the bonus track "Zlliks War" which is produced by P.Hill a.k.a Drop. This bonus track features on the dope Fat Noggin Civilianz compilation album released in 1998, but "Contax" and "Basic Intinx" remain unknown until today... but you're lucky, here are some exclusive snippets !
I don't know how many copies of this cassette tape exist but I wish you very good luck to catch one for your tape collection ! Peace
