Va - John Copper E.P. Vol. 2 (12”)
Label: Not On Label
Cat#: LIXX 0101
HipHop, USA, 1997(?)
Discogs
Note: This is some bootleg white-label business, pretty common back in the mid/late 90s. Lots of spelling errors and confusing labeling lol.
A-side has Alkaholiks & ODB with Hip Hop Drunkies (I’ll Have A Brandy Mix). B-side starts off with Dead Presidents with the tune Food, Clothes, Shelter, which was the reason I got this 12” as that song was hella rare (and good). That The (Cella) Dwellas has the last tune on there, a Nick Wiz production called called Main Aim, wasn’t a bad thing either though.
Rugged Brood - Dwellin’ In Darkness (12”)
Label: Raw Track
Cat#: RT 1296
HipHop, USA, 1997
Discogs
Note: Another dope Rugged Brood 12”. If you stumble over any of the rels on Raw Track you can pick it up, I don’t own them all any more but if I remember correctly they’re all pretty dope.
Wisdom - All Star Jam/It’s Rare/Angel (12”)
Label: Emo
Cat#: EMO 002
HipHop, USA, 1996(1997)
Discogs
Note: Just a break from all the jazz that was my Record Store Day purchases. All Star Jam featuring Adagio & The Juggaknots. First vid below is two songs in one first It’s Rare then, at around 3:35, All Star Jam.
Jeru Da Damaja - Me Or The Papes/Tha Bullshit (12”)
Label: Payday/FFRR
Cat#: 162-531 083-1
HipHop, USA, 1997
RYM / Discogs
Note: I remember the main reason why I got this 12” was the Me, Not The Paper (Dirty Remix) tune on the flip (the last of the vids below). All good tunes though, no surprise there.
