Anticipation...



I'm waiting on some good things to come in the future and it made me think of this track, Anticipation. This is from a group called Myschief that kind of came and went in 1995 (you'll hear them shout 'nine fifth' all over this thing). As far as I know this song was only available on this Epic Street Sampler. You might know about the other Epic Street Sampler with the Kool G Rap & Nas 'Fast Life' remix. I was trying to think of other artists on this Epic Street label (before finding the roster on discogs) and noone was coming to mind besides G Rap and Ghostface. I guess this portion of the label wasn't run very efficiently, I remember '4,5,6' didn't get promoted that well aside from a couple of magazine ads. That Funkdoobiest album on Epic Street was kinda good too.

I liked this period in hip when the beats were a little darker and slower, people were sampling some weird stuff, I would say this track captures that sound well. I'm wondering if these guys had a deal on Epic that fell through because I don't remember any other records from them, also the producer of this track who isn't credited on the record. It was a pretty nice little unreleased goodie from the 'nine nickel'...enjoy

  3. Dontique, thanks for dropping a line.. this track was one of my favorites in 95. Lyrics were ill as well as the beat, did you do the production on this as well? I remember you were up on Stretch and Bob too for some freestyles I have to see if I can dig that tape up. Any material you have from back then til now I'd love to hear djnes3000@yahoo.com peace
