The elusive second album from Halifax’s first gangster rapper Local Dre. Tape saw a very limited release and Dre pretty much quit rap after it for some reason. Been looking for this one for ages… thanks to GDub for the hookup.

GET THAT SPRYFIELD FUNK RIGHT HERE SON!!!

Dopest crew outta canada ever. nextra.
From Kelron–
…the committed, dedicated, battleworn soldier on the artwork had been through enough to know to have his shit together in any event. That’s why he’s polishing his boots at night by lightbulb readying for another day on the frontline. That was Nextra circa 2003. We had been recording and doing shows together as Nextra for at least 10 years by that point…some up to 5 years longer than that. Our shit was polished but we were battlescared. Freedom Sold Separately …meaning you have to pay for your freedoms …meaning the rich are free and everyone else is soldiering on.

Pick It Up is essentially a diss to Hip Club Groove for using the same song chorus(kinda) as Bassment Unit on the Haltown Meltdown Tape. The Song was “Who Got The Soul”- Bassment Unit and “Soul Providers” – HCG Dope Cassingle if ya ask me

What? Not another early 90s radio show post…..

 

FUCK YES!!!

 

Pretty much the only place on the Halifax radio dial to listen to hip hop in the early 90s was on CKDU. Dj Critical (Buck 65) had the dope show on Tuesday nights, and once a month he and Dj Jorun would set up 4 turntables and just go crazy for a while. This is one of those shows, September 1992.

RIGHT HERE DOGGIE

Dance Appeal was formed in 1991 in support of an application to the CRTC for Canada’s first urban radio station. The bid was actually lost to a country station but the video, which features many Canadian stars of the era from multiple genres, did receive plays on MuchMusic.

The Rap Show (Ottawa) – 1992

Posted: March 12, 2013 by jayosmooth in Uncategorized

OR

Way back in the day I lived in Ottawa for a hot minute. That’s right around when Organized Rhyme first came out, and they also had a weekly rap radio show. I came across a tape today and thought I’d rip it and share it.

They get silly in the middle of this one. No tracklisting cause all rap from this era was dope.

Fresh “off the boat” from Trinidad in 1992, Manchilde performed his first show alongside Thrust and Ghetto Concept, opening for Black Moon and Pharcyde. Upon relocating to Mont Real, Manchilde hosted club Metropolis’ Savoy Room where he opened for The Roots and Guru. By 1997, visits to NYC found Manchilde nabbing first place at the spoken word slams of the Nuyorican Poets Café. In 1999, Manchilde is featured on the nationally released debut album of Muzion, on BMG.All the while, Ziploks had cut similar ground as the hypeman and stage personality of his first project Def Threat. Ziploks was the one to coin the name Butta Babees. In the spring of 1997, the Butta Babees began their Sunday night Ill Groove Garden hip-hop radio show on CKUT 90.3 FM, where they’ve made a rawkus on live air freestyling with the city’s talented underground. Several productions of Manchilde and ZipLoks are featured on WordLife, Tales of the Underground Griots, a regional compilation of beats and poetry. -(taken from artist bio)
