The Ranjahz

Here's an unreleased joint from The Ranjahz featuring Jay-Z from 1995. This might have been meant to get put out through their Profile deal, but it never saw an official release. The song's concept is similar to Nas' 'I gave you power,' were they metaphorically personify the bullets in a gun.

Dirty Waters

The Dirty Waters blog hits the 5 year mark this month. Thanks to everyone, again, for all the support over the years. After 500+ posts I'm running a little short of material but I'm still trying to keep this going. Most of the stuff in the archives has been re-upped through Fileswap, but if anything in particular is missing drop a line and I'll try to get it active again.

Stripper

I've had the itch to dig something terrible lately. I caught this one on a dig over the weekend, it's kind of a cheese record but I'm digging it right now. The cover makes you immediately want to pass over it, but don't sleep. Peace to all the vinyl spots still surviving, especially those with dollar bins.

Jemini the Gifted One (Remix Instrumental)

Jemini the Gifted One made his debut
late 1994/early 1995 with his song 'Funk Soul Sensation' produced by Organized Konfusion. For his 'Scars and Pain' EP, he also worked with producers Buckwild and Minnesota. This is a promo only 12" remix to 'Funk Soul Sensation' produced by the Grand Leveler Godfather Don. Vibe out to the instrumental on this one, Don uses the very beginning of Les McCann's 'Talk to the People' and mixes that with Johnny Guitar Watson's 'Superman Lover.' Also check Jemini's January 95 appearance on Stretch & Bobbito's show.

Step Up

This is a cool little party joint I caught back in the day at Fat Beats, maybe around 94/95. This must have had a limited run because I never saw it again after I bought it. It's on a comp called Jackin' 4 Beats, no label, no artist names, no phone numbers, nothing. I have no idea who made it, but it's dope! Always gets a party going..
