Raw Material was a three man group comprised of A-SWIFT, ROB-FLOW and P.O. POP from Flatbush, Brooklyn.
Their first and only 12" was released in 1993 on Gnu Breed Records. The single also came out on cassette tape. For those who don't remember, this is the same independent label that released the excellent Yasheen & The Murder-1 Squad EP in 1994. It was run by Bob Bish.
Raw Material's debut 12" consists of 2 tracks : "Teen Scream" (Original, Instrumental & Radio Edit) produced in 1993 by Mark 'Boogie' Brown on the A-side and "Face Before The Pookie" (Original, Instrumental & Radio Edit) produced in 1992 by Frank Nitty for Trackmasterz on the B-side.
I tried to find more information about this group but couldn't come up with anything. I spoke with Mark 'Boogie' Brown, but unfortunately he doesn't remember much. All I know is that Bob Bish introduced them to Mark 'Boogie' Brown. At the time, he was selling studio time and producing as well as selling beats, but Boogie haven't seen the group members since. I was also in contact with Robin Hannibal, who was their stylist for the photo used on the cassette cover, but she doesn't recall anything about the group...
