ActProof - Between Us And The World Ep1 : Amped Up - 2022
Sundown & Enigma from Raleigh, North Carolina are back after a long hiatus of 10 years with the 1st episode of their latest project entitled "Between Us And The World".
"Since 2007, the collaborative efforts of ActProof and longstanding producer AMP have been a staple when it comes to the Actproof sound. The chemistry between the two artists and producer are undeniable, having evolved organically over time with AMP and Enigma growing up as brothers alongside lifelong friend Sundown. That rich history has been the glue that has bonded the trio, and has been fortified out of a strong desire to make a living doing what they loved the most: creating music. The group's latest offering "Between Us And The World" is a three-part musical time capsule of never before released songs that were recorded during the group's hiatus with some of their favorite producers. Whether it was the ebbs and flows of life that has stood between the group and the world, or the need to just live one; Actproof is back; and has set out to share their life experiences with those who want to know. Episode 1: Amped Up is a musical landscape of the lyrical stylings of Sundown and Enigma accompanied by the gritty "scratch based" beats from AMP that admirers have grown to know and love." - courtesy of ActProof

Mista Meaner - A Thru Z - 1997
12" - 1997 - Sure Shot Recordings
No need to say that it's very frustrating to be in contact with someone who was very hard to find and who is definitely not interested in sharing his story... this is the case for Mista Meaner... but I truly understand and respect that ... life goes on !!
I remember buying this wax "Winners & Losers / A Thru Z" in 1997 at the time in a famous record store in Paris, France called "Street Sound". The store was managed by 2 twin brothers (Claude & Christophe) named "Les Jumeaux" (twins in french). Big Up !
This is the second 12" dropped by Mista Meaner from Brooklyn. It came out on the New York-based hip-hop label Sure Shot Recordings and contains 2 tracks : "Winners & Losers" produced by the legendary DJ Clark Kent on the A-side and "A Thru Z" produced by Ezo Brown on the B-side, who was also known at the time for his productions for the Trenton-based group Poor Righteous Teachers. "A Thru Z" is definitely the best single of the wax (B-side wins again!). Chris Landry who managed Sure Shot Recordings said in a Billboard article "Showing creative skill, he rhymes alphabetically on "A Thru Z" like a funky letterman over a skeletal terror break." This track is the reason why you should buy this 12" if you haven't owned it yet.
I'm still thinking he'll change his mind one day... Maybe he could give us more info about this legendary demo "Saratoga Ave" recorded in 1997 with Dogface of Hillfiguz and played by Stretch & Bobbito on WKCR. And for those who live in New York City, maybe you'll be lucky to come across him in the Lower East Side where he works at night ! Peace
