Rare Artist Series: Last Emperor - Meditation (Original)

This is the track that made me a huge Last Emperor fan. He was bounced around from label to label for a while (Rawkus, Death Row, Aftermath, etc.) after he had several songs making the mixtape circuits. This gem was on of them. Unlike the "redone" version that showed up on his several different albums that followed - this one has the dark feel that fits perfectly with his amazing lyrics.

Enemies (Original Mix Remixed)

This version is more of a laid back, low rider, g-thang version of the Universal Sounds classic track. Mysterio whipped up this remix with sparse guitars, organs and keys with different cuts inserted here and there. The sample from "True Romance" kicks off the proceedings but not before some people say how wack the group is.

Waiting (Take 4)

Rhodes keys and light pianos flow over this slow jam crafted by Mysterio. A funky guitar flips through right beside a water type sound effect over the crystallized drum kit. This is one of the many tracks for Cise's lost EP from the year 2001. This time Cise drops lyrics on his various woes of love in a somewhat comical way.

NOTABLE QUOTES:

"Believe me, if I show love, my love won't quit/ But the worse letter is "X" and you with him so pack your shit" - Cise

Rare Artist Series: Three Steps From Nowhere - Kick it Over Here

These cats must have been from Maryland with the 410 area code on the backsleeve of the cassette insert. Nevertheless, the song "Kick it Over Here" was a smooth summer track which got enough play in the summer of 1992.
