Rare Artist Series: American Gypsy - Central Station

This band is very rare indeed. Hard to even find anything about them on the world wide web. Nonetheless, I am here to share with you one single I think is pure dynamite off their 1975 album. Takes me back.

Spontaneous Combustion

This track is taken off the "Time-Space Continuum" album and features some tight verses by Anoir and Aya over a masterful Mysterio production. A sample taken from "The Last Emperor" is laid over a thumping drum track accentuated by a deep piano. Big Daddy Kane provides some back up as the sound provider Mysterio delivers cuts and sound effects.

NOTABLE QUOTES:
"The devil in me sends me into a frenzy/ So I torch the stage - burn the mic like some sensee" - Aya

"Emcees suck like lips on horny honey dips/ So cash in your chips and corny money clips" - Anoir

"Yo, I have to craft a rap to trap ya/ And then attach you to a wall and throw rhymes atcha" - Aya

"Style are stupendous - mind span tremendous/ So I must end this life of the horrendous" - Anoir

Rare Artist Series: Doom & Dilla - Sniper Elite


Now this is a track that separates the men from the boys. Originally an instrumental titled "Anti-American Graffitti" Doom took the track and flipped it in only a way he could. His lyrics are deeply textured just like the beat that Jay Dee created. I could listen to this over and over and yes I do listen to it over and over.

Peep and then BUY

Get Off The Dils (Remix)

Claw and Moosie Moe collabed with Mysterio on this track from the 1993 era of Universal Sounds. A fun little track where both emcees spit some silly ass rhymes.

Rare Artist Series: Big Daddy Kane & Kool G Rap - Raw


Big Daddy Kane and Kool G Rap actually collaborated on the classic track "Raw" back in the day and as of five years ago I hadn't heard it until Edan put me onto it.

1995 Pub Intro



Rare Artist Series: Wutang Vs The Beatles


Tom Caurana created this. Dopest remixing I have heard in years. Surpasses the "Gray Album" by leaps and bounds. He is definitely an artist to look out for.
