R.I.P. IG Off

Just heard about I.G. Off passing and wanted to re-up these joints I posted a while back.
I.G. Off was definitely ill, one of the nicest of the top of the head. Check out The Halftime Show
tonight, DJ Eclipse will be doing a tribute to I.G. Off on the show and also check The 
Underground Railroad on WBAI this Friday to hear J-Smooth's tribute to I.G. Off

Here is IG Off and Hazardous along with Skam on the Underground Railroad, WBAI.
Sounds like DJ Spinna on the wheels cutting up the breakbeats as well.
I'm pretty sure this is the same freestyle listed on the URR archive page, from 1997.

Also here is a re-up of the IG Off and Hazardous Demo I posted here.

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.

Rev Shines' mixes

Shout out to Will for linking me to Rev Shines soundcloud page. Rev Shines did a bunch of good break mixes a few years back and are now available free on his page. Definitely recommended listening. Shout out to Mr Mass.

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.
