Various - Ditc & Family The Next Level Collection - 28-May-08 10:40 PM
This release is straight wack! Please don´t supprt that. I listened to it in the local record shop the other day and I got more furious than disappointed. The sound quality is unbeliably bad. You can utterly hear that low quality sound files (most likely MP3) were used. The funniest thing abuot this release is that there is not even one new or unreleased DITC track on it! The only unknown title to me was "Bronx keeps creating it". While listening to it I had to find out that this is a very badly done mash-up track which was most likely ripped of a mixtape.
If you are a real DITC fan please don´t support this wack bootleg and save your money for some proper releases.

Huss & Hodn - Jetzt Schämst Du Dich! - 29-Apr-08 11:34 PM
The first great German hip hop album in years! Besides the sometimes TOO explicit lyrics they did what not many German hip hop artists could achieve: staying true to the game and particulary true to themself. Altogether the beats are not new or innovative but always mad fresh and easy to digest. Most of them remind me of the New York golden era and I wouldn't skip one of them.
All in all an outstanding German album that doesn't make you think too much but laugh all the time and that's what it's all about.
Grab the limited vinyl release while it's available...

JD & The Evil's Dynamite Band - Explodes Across The Nation - 26-Mar-08 12:34 AM
In my opinion one of the best and most slept on new generation funk albums. The instruments are played in a dark way accompanied by wicked noises and inapprehensible background vocals. Listening to it creates a really mysterious and spacy ambiance. Only real heads realise the effort that has been put into this outstanding project created by the likes of Phillip Lehman, Jeff Silverman, Leon Michels, Quincy Bright, Homer Steinweiss and Nick Movshon. If I didn´t know it was recorded by these guys I would assume this project came straight out of hell.

J Rock - Streetwize - 03-Jun-07 03:08 PM
This is like the 'Amerikkka's Most Wanted' of the NY ghetto. Probably one of the most gangsta albums in sound that we've heard from anywhere like Brooklyn, the fact that this came out in '91 simply shows its brilliance further. Almost 20 tracks in total (including the skits and shorter tracks - the Primo-produced 'The Real One' is another amazing moment), this album is something that may prove impossible to find but is fully worth the effort.

Ghetto Groovz Records - 01-Jun-07 02:06 AM
According to Paul Nice (posted to Soulstrut.com):
A little back story...
The story behind the Ghetto Grooves label is pretty interesting.
The guy that ran it, Jeff Murphy, was a pretty notorious dealer here in the lower Hudson Valley.
There was even a rare, never-aired video made of Neighborhood Drug Dealer where Jeff himself plays said dealer in the video.
At the end of the video he gets caught in a federal sting and gets busted with a suitcase full of coke.
In a strange case of life imitating art, that's almost exactly how it went down in real life as Jeff got busted less than 6 months after that single dropped. He's still locked up.

Besides J Rock, Jeff had a couple other artists on the label like MCM and this chick named Beverly (forgot what name she used to go by). Beverly had even recorded a bunch of songs that were ghost written by Lord Finesse and produced by Primo!! Never released. No one knows if they still exist in any format.
I asked Finesse last time I spoke with him and he doesn't have em although he says he wishes he did.

You used to be able to find the Streetwize album all over the place here. No more.
According to Floyd (J Rock), there are BOXES of the album at Jeff's moms crib somewhere down south.
Happy hunting.
