Jac Swinga - Coast II Coast - 1997
12" - 1997 - Underground Buttas
There is a bunch of 12" released on white label during the 90s. A lot of crap for the most part but some interesting material sometimes. It is the case for that one due to the good quality of the tracks pressed on it, "On the Real" performed by Nas and produced by Marley Marl on the A-side and "Coast II Coast " performed by an unknown emcee named Jac Swinga on the B-side
Let me give you some info about Jac Swinga... his track "Coast II Coast" was released in 1997 on Undaground Buttas, a white label managed by a lady (don't know her name, sorry) from around Canal St in NYC back then. The track is produced by a guy named Jack Beats from Elizabeth, New Jersey. All I can say about Jac Swinga is that he is from Newark, NJ and he is the little brother of DoItAll, 1/3 of the legendary group Lords Of The Underground, who was like his mentor and who also features on the track by the way.
This white label is really cheap and definitely something to grab to expand your hip-hop vinyl collection.
