Hi Lo - Rock On ! - 2021

12"- CD - 1995/2021 - Back2DaSource Records  

 

"Sup y'all ?! We are back with another Gem with Hi Lo - Rock On ! 12" reissue. Holy grail from VA from 1995. Very hard to find record so we had to repress this one on wax and for the first time on CD. No unreleased were found at the time sadly, but in the meantime the Brothers have found some 90's unreleased stuff, so great chances some unreleased material will be put out later on this year. Hope you will enjoy this DOPE reissue that comes with a full artwork cover and analog remastering, soulful Hip Hop at its best".

Hi-Lo - Rock On! - 1995

 

12" - 1995 - Noizemaker Records 

Hi-Lo ... Rock On 12"... this wax is a little gem !!!  It was released in 1995 by this hip-hop trio from Richmond,VA. Hi-Lo consisted of the lead vocalist Brutha Funk Marqwa, P.D Funk and DJ Tiny Tim.

Dj Tiny Tim : "At that time, myself and the lead rapper Marcus a.k.a Marqwa (Messenger Asiatic Resolving Questions With Answers) who is my older brother were from South Richmond. The 3rd member of the group P.D Funk was from North Richmond. The group was together for about a year or two starting around 1992 to 1994, if I remember correctly. We all worked part time at an Italian restaurant in the city's westend, that's how we met !"

The 12" is composed of the lead single "Rock On" available in its LP, Instrumental and Remix versions, and the track "Walk In The Night", all the tracks produced by Marqwa.

The wax is really dope but unfortunately it's practically impossible to find a copy for sale nowadays... around 200 vinyl and 200 tapes were pressed in '95 and there is nothing else released by the group after that 12".

Dj Tiny Tim : "We were self managed, we did a few local shows and radio interviews back then but nothing major. After that we all pursued other things in life and ended the group, but we are still good friends."
