Underground Railroad (DJ Spinna)

Here's DJ Spinna on the Underground Railroad from December, 1999. He uses only records with Spinna production. (Polyrhytmatics, Jigmastas, Big Kwam, Shabaam Sadiq, etc.) You'll hear at the end they're celebrating J-Smooth's birthday, and then DJ AV gets on for some hip hop classics.





The tape opens with a live performance from the Masterdon Committee,
circa early 80's. Not sure if I taped that from somewhere else but it's fresh.
Unfortunately, I only had a 60 minute tape for this one..

Stretch & Bobbito 12-14-1995 (Camp Lo, Greg Nice)

Here's another classic 1995 Stretch Armstrong Show featuring Camp Lo and Greg Nyce. This is the first 2 hours or so of the show, uncut. The interviews on this show are pretty funny, Bobbito asks Camp Lo 'what's going on?' like 3 or 4 times. Greg Nyce gives a little history of his career and then kicks a freestyle and a beatbox.

CM Famalam Show meets Halftime

This next tape has to be, hands down, one of my all time favorite tapes. This is DJ Eclipse and DJ Riz of the Halftime Show hosting the CM Famalam show and playing nothing but unreleased joints for the entire 4 hour show! There is literally treat after treat on this one.





CM Fam meets Halftime 8-10-2000

Stretch & Bobbito September 1995

This one features Stretch cutting it up and an appearance
from a group called 'True to This' that I'm not familiar with.
DJ Mighty Mi was also in the studio holding down the wheels
for the freestyle session. I'm forgetting who produced that
Genius 'Labels' remix on here, but it's pretty bangin'
Also you get a Rawcotiks demo on there..
This one's going 15 years back to the day! Enjoy

Radio Promos

Every good hip hop radio show has a promo. Some are made by
the show's hosts themselves while others are made by artsists
who appear on the show. Some promos are played only a handful

of times, and others are played at the beginning of each broadcast.
Regardless, these old radio drops usually had original production
and lyrics, and they can be considered unreleased gems from the

artists who make them. Here goes 7 random hip hop radio spots...

DJ Homicide Promo (Stretch & Bobbito WKCR)

Underground Railroad WBAI Promo


J-Live Promo (Drum Show KZSU)

Bootcamp Click Promo (Wake Up Show)

Kool Keith Promo (Chuck Chillout Kiss FM)

The Kool Keith promo was taken from Stretch's blog from awhile back
and the Beatnuts Red Alert promo is a joint off the One Leg Up LP.

Getting rid of some tapes...

I have 10+ shoeboxes full of cassettes

and I'm trying to make room for other stuff,

so I'm getting rid of some cassettes on ebay.

The box is full of about 20+ CM Famalam and

Halftime Shows from around 1998-2002.

I'm just asking for shipping costs, so if interested

check it out here.
