I could have sworn Shabaam Sadheeq was representing Teaneck, NJ, or Jersey City, but the internet says Brooklyn. I was listening to a Stretch show from 1997 and this track came up. I did a little research to see this wasn't on any of the Rawkus 12"s or any of his 12"s that came out around this time. Probably due to sample clearance? I liked the flip of Bobby Hutcherson's 'Montara,' and I'm thinking Nick Wiz did the beat on this, because it sounds like his drum kit. If anyone knows if this was white labeled, or anything else about it, please let me know. I'm calling it 'On a Mission,' because I don't know the title.
You're correct on the title, it is "On A Mission". I don't think it was ever released at the time but Nick Wiz put it on Cellar Sounds Vol. 2.
ReplyDeletenice, never knew of that comp, thanks
ReplyDeleteHe's representing both - like Das EFX :) He moved from Teaneck to Brooklyn.
ReplyDeleteNick Wiz just announced Vol.4 of his Cellar Sounds series. He put out tons of dope unreleased songs on these CDs in recent years. There are also vinyl versions.
