Artifacts Live @ Rocksteady Anniversary 1994

Rocksteady Anniversary from July 1994 in Rocksteady Park on 98th/99th. After some dat issues, Artifacts get into 'Wrong Side' over a different beat, a freestyle on a beat Stretch Armstrong produced, then close it out with 'Do you Wanna Hear it?' Clipped this from a CM Famalam Show.

Future Flavas 5-12-1996 (w/Akinyele)

Future Flavas episode from May 12, 1996. Pete Rock, Marley Marl, Half Pint and crew come through with joints you never heard before (scratching my head on the first track), and Akinyele stops in to promote 'Put it in Your Mouth' and drops a few bars with Pete Rock to close out the show (48:38)

CM Famalam Show May 6, 1999

This is an early CM Famalam Show from 1999 featuring Bad Seed, Pumpkinhead, and Yeshua with DJ Eli playing beats, and another session with Dr Becket and K-Skills. Full 4 hour show courtesy of Aleph.

NY Live 89.1 December 1996 (demos & freestyles)

This is another pause edit special with strictly demos and freestyles. New York Live WNYU 89.1 during December of 1996. The first half of the show had some unreleased demos from Last Emporer, Nas, and Natural Elements, I'm pretty sure that was Cien Smooth and TO Sweet subbing in for Mayhem and Sunset. Then the tape had a freestyle session with Eddie Brock and L Fudge, then Half A Mill, then Choclair, then AK Skills. I'm guessing this must have the highlights from  2 or 3 different  shows.

Re-Up: Halftime Show - July 2000 (Allies, CamRon, McGruff)

One of my favorite Halftime Shows right here, from July of 2000. I used to kill this tape. The show features DJ sets from Spictacular, J-Smoke, DJ Infamous, and DJ A-Trak (of the Allies) and a freestyle session with Camron, McGruff and a little bit of Jim Jones, along with DJ Riz on the mix. I think DJ AV was co-hosting but I didn't get much of the talking. Peace to DJ Eclipse who wasn't in the studio that night, and didn't have a copy of this audio.

Stretch & Bobbito 6-1-1995 (Phantasm, Craig G)

This is a Stretch & Bobbito pause edit special from summer 1995. The tape starts with Raekwon, and then Stretch plays 'Hey Mr. Mr.' (an unreleased track from Kool G Rap), which ended up getting him suspended from the station the following week. For those unfamiliar, the track was a T-Ray production that G Rap used for a really grimy track about beating up his (fictional) girlfriend. It was recorded during the 4,5,6 sessions, pretty sure Stretch pressed up the white label.

Following that there's a lengthy freestyle session with Phantasm from Cella Dwellas along with Craig G, over maybe 5 different instrumentals. The tape caught the entire krunch time session until the show ended, with Lord Sear and Benni B also in the studio. 

CM Famalam Show 9-9-1999

This is a CM Famalam Show from September 9, 1999 featuring Oktober, BOE, and graffiti writers James TOP and Keo. This was a submission from a while back from Relm, with a help out from Jamo on the re-up. This is near the 4 full show. Hot topics of the day were political prisoners being released, and also showcases going off for Mumia.

CM Famalam Show 1999

Featuring Rapper Ness. Only have the first two hours here, and pretty sure this one's courtesy of the philaflava forums from a while back.

Halftime 14th Anniversary Show

Peace to Eclipse for uploading this to his mixcloud. I was actually in the studio this night along with P Original (R.I.P.). It was a cool experience meeting two of my favorite DJ's growing up, and being able to stand in the studio I heard them broadcasting from weekly. This show is a banger, lot of classic freestyles from years past. Miss the Halftime show.

Stretch & Bobbito 2-1-1998 (Hot 97)

Here's a Hot 97 show from February, 1998. Tone Capone sets it off at the first break, then Ray Slugs and crew from Double X Posse set it off at the next. Cucumber Slice jumps on the wheels to wrap things up at the end.

Stretch & Bobbito 12-3-1998

This is the second to last official Stretch Armstrong Show, with Bobbito and Lord Sear holding it down in Stretch's absence. There's a lot of underground, backpack type stuff, mixed in with some old school and R&B, and also a session with Arabian Nights. As hectic Eclectic pointed out- if you're having trouble downloading from the page, go directly to the hulkshare page and try downloading from there. Sometimes it's difficult to download from the embed for some reason.

New York Live 4-24-1996

Shout to DJ Eclipse for posting this on his mixcloud. It's more portions from the New York Live show that featured DJ Muro's break set. Big Noyd, Ty Nitty, DJ Spinna and the Jigmastas were also in the studio that night. I guess I must have mislabeled the date on my tape, mine said the 18th and his has the 24th. Most likely Eclipse's date is accurate. I used to take clips from the Wednesday and Thursday shows, sometimes two consecutive weeks on the same tape, and get confused when labeling.



Here's Muro's break set in full

Boogie & The Barber 7-27-1997

Stretch & Bobbito 1991 (w/Percee P & DMX)

This one is a request from Irish Craig. This was one from Stretch's short-lived blog konstant kontact. It's one of the earliest available Stretch Armstrong shows from 1991, featuring Percee P, and a then unknown DMX. As you can hear he claims 'the original author of spellbound.'

CM Famalam Show 3-19-1999 (El Da Sensei, DJ Kaos, Last Emporer)
