Boulevard Connection "Sut Min Pik EP" x Phife Dawg "If Men Are Dogs" x Onyx "See You In Hell" x Shamus "War Fair" x RA & Biggie "Cunt Renaissance"

This right here is Boulevard Connection's "Sut Min Pik EP," which is full of dope features: Tame One, El Da Sensei, Company Flow, MC Serch, Bobbito & Promoe. Boulevard Connection is made up producers from Copenhagen (Denmark): DJ Sek, DJ Typhoon, and Marak. This EP was released on Fondle Em' Records back in '98. They had a DOPE follow-up release, Claimin Respect, which had Common, Masta Ace & Edo G, but I figure everyone knows that joint, right? If not, I'll post it another day, let me know.

One of the 1st solo joints from Phife Dawg, this is "If Men Are Dogs" bw Brooklyn Queens AllStars." Definitely a White Label, it was released around '97 on Hong Kong Recordings, but released in Germany. I think "If Men Are Dogs" is a dope track, but I'm not crazy about the B-Side. Phife's debut solo album, "Ventilation," dropped around 2000 (not including this) & had some of the biggest names handling the production. It took me a few years to really appreciate it, but it's a solid release.

I've posted a few 12" from Shamus in the past, & had solid responses. Shamus had a great ear from beats, enlisting Buckwild & others with gritty production. This is Crime Wave ft. Shamus' "War Fair." It was released in '97 on Raw Track. It comes with vocals, acapella & instrumental mixes. The issue with joints like this is, listening now, it sounds dated, but if you listen w/ a 90s state of mind, you'll be mad you slept on it then. That make sense? Hit up the tags for more Shamus' releases, you won't be disappointed.

Let's get back to White Label releases, I know people like these most. This is Onyx's "See You In Hell," where they flip Rampage's "Wild For The Night" beat. They go in! It comes with clean & dirty mixes, and was released some time after '96, because the label of the record makes mention of the Rampage joint. Last year there was a release by Onyx called "Cold Case Files," which had a Pt.2 to "See You In Hell," but I'll be honest, I never checked it. Was it any good? If you are in a mood to hear Onyx, this is definitely a track to check out.

This track, I feel bad even acknowledging that it exists lol. Why? Well, start with the title "Cunt Renaissance," & then listen to RA The Rugged Man (Crustified Dibbs) & Biggie spit their verses, it's a wrap. Pretty much what you would expect from this combo. This was another dope "unreleased" record for some time. Now that it's out there, it's no secret, so might as well share it. Comes with vocal/instrumental & Every Record Label Sux Dikk Pt.2. Don't hold this one against me! lol. Peace
