Lackadaisical - Shameless Self Promotion - 2022

EP - 2022 - Vulgar

It 's time to listen to some good 90s hip-hop from the South Bay Area fellas !!!

"Shameless Self Promotion" is the first and only album originally released as a demo tape in 1995 by the San Jose-based group Lackadaisical. Those demos definitely deserved a proper release on vinyl, now it's done with the help of Etienne and his Record Label Vulgar.

If you don't know Lackadaisical you need to know that the group consisted of Demone Carter a.k.a Dem One, Sultan Banks a.k.a Sultan (pronounced Soo-Tahn) later known as Traxamillion (RIP) who unfortunately passed away earlier this year, and Jesse Jones (RIP), rapper and graffiti artist who was shot in the back and killed by the Police in Banning, Ca in June 2006... In the early 90s, Lackadaisical, The Dereliks and Aeropause formed the crew called Phameph a.k.a Family Effort.

"Shameless Self Promotion" is a 9-Track EP produced by Dem One, Sultan Banks and Hen Boogie of The Dereliks. In 2012, Dem One wrote on his Lifeafterhiphop Blog that "These songs are literally the first things we ever recorded in a real recording studio. This is straight ahead backpack boom bap 90’s hip-hop. Our energy was raw but thanks to our rap mentors The Dereliks, this project came out sounding really polished considering it was made by teenagers."

It includes a 4-pages booklet with various photographs commented by Dem One and liner notes by David Ma. Front drawing by Z-Man. Layout & label drawings by Rimrimrim.
