Ce-Style (Total Pack) Interview

One of the perks of doing a blog like this is when I'll occasionally get in touch with the artists featured here. Sometimes the artists lose their own material and it's always a treat to be able to give it back to them. I knew acrhiving ridiculous amounts of cassettes over the years would come in handy one day.




I recently got in contact with Ce-Style from the group Total Pack and took the opportunity to do an interview. You may have heard Total Pack on DJ Eclipse's 'Wild Pitch Blends" mixtape, Stretch Armstrong's Lessons 1&2 (where he was featured with The Korp), or perhaps you heard them from one of their many WBAU or WKCR guest appearances. Ce Style shed some light on what went down with Total Pack and the current projects he is working on under his new name, Corey Drumz.

Stretch & Bobbito 1-12-1995 (Nine)

This show has to be late 1994-early 1995 judging by the tracks on it. Special guest in the studio is Nine. You'll hear Stretch mention the 'In My Lifetime' record as 'some new Jay-Z', a Shook Ones remix using Gangstarr's '? Remains' instrumental, and an overall nice selection of tracks. This tape is a contribution to Dirty Waters from the homey SG in Perth Amboy, NJ. Any readers who have radio tapes they need ripped to MP3 and want to share them on this blog, feel free to email.

Stretch & Bobbito 1-1996 (Bahamadia, DJ Homicide)

Here's a Stretch Armstrong Show from January, 1996 with DJ Homicide filling in for Stretch and guest MC Bahamadia in the studio. Bahamadia was promoting the 'Uknowhowwedo' 12" and I think she was premiering the 'Three the Hard Way' track on this night. This was a few months before her Kollage LP was released.




You'll also hear a mock DJ battle between DJ Homicide, Bobbito and Lord Sear. They take phone calls from people and ask them to vote for a winner. This one is trimmed down to about 78 minutes so you can burn it to a CD if that's your thing. Peace to my homeboy Greg T, Stretch & Bobbito. The more feedback I get in the comments section, the more inclined I am to post more of these shows, so keep the feedback running...
