East Coast 12 Inch Rarities Volume 6


This compilation is on a more mellow vibe than the east coast 12 inch volumes preceding it. I like the change of pace and I hope you do too. Favorite cuts here are numbers 2, 8 and 9. A couple geographical mistakes are generally par for the course. For instance, I think Saukrates is from Canada and Zombie Squad is a european crew. Don't quote me on that though.

01 (4:50) Frankenstein - Frankenstein's Pain (1993)
02 (4:00) Ill Mentality - Lovin U4 Dayz (Qbc Remix) (1994)
03 (4:56) Saukrates - Hate Runs Deep (Dirty Mix) (1995)
04 (4:21) The Prosecution - Shady (1994)
05 (2:58) Slum Brothers - Six Million MC's (Clean) (1995)
06 (3:24) Hurricane - Comin Off (Central Coast Vibe) (1995)
07 (2:42) Heltah Skeltah - Place to Be (Clean) (1996)
08 (4:03) Akinyele & Sadat X - Loud Hangover (Dirty Mix) (1995)

I have 125 volumes in my 'east coast 12 inch' series and it'll take me awhile to get through them. If you like these collections let me know and I'll start posting them more often, maybe several at a time. In the meantime, enjoy volume 6!

Ras Kass - On Earth As It Is...Remix?

Alright, this is NOT an official remix but it would definitely befit you to give this a listen. Here's the story behind it:

Back in between 1994 and 1996, I stumbled upon a purple Cut Chemist mix tape. It was well mixed and full of the latest material from mostly independent labels and some majors, from what I remember. What really stood out to me was this Ras Kass remix of On Earth As It Is...

Through years and years of diggin' and searching, I pretty much gave up on ever hearing it again. Then, one day while digging through a 3 dollar bin at this little record shop in Jersey City,
I found this Ill Mentality record called Lovin' U4 Dayz. I remembered the song and thought it was cool, but no big deal. But when I threw the remix for it on, I nearly fell out. It was the same exact beat as that Ras Kass I had been looking for. Hmmm.

A couple of month's ago, Markshot[from the T.R.O.Y. forum in Philaflava] uploaded all those mid 90's Ras Kass singles. On the flipside of the Anything Goes single, I saw the Acapella version of On Earth As It Is...
That's when my dumb ass realized there never was an officially released remix of it and that Cut Chemist must have blended the Ras Kass vocals over the Lovin' U4 Dayz Remix instrumental.

I sent the aforementioned mp3s to our resident blend master, vaporized[who also championed the I Am blends and the Nas meets Large Pro blends]. The finished product is dope.

In discogs, it says that the original version of Lovin' U4 Dayz was produced by Nick Wiz and that the remix was freaked by Prince Ad. But you can never tell with discogs since their information is usually submitted by sellers.
