DJ Premier WBLS Thunderstorm Vol.6 + Extras


Unless they are more to be released, here we have the last volume(vol.6) of the DJ Premier Thunderstorm WBLS radio show series. The selection of the tracks played on here are different from the ones from previous volumes; the main reason being that this show is from 1995(based on the tracklist) while the previous ones were aired in 1994. This is my personal favorite mix of all the thunderstorm shows that I've heard! For all you diggers, the show starts with a demo from a dope unsigned emcee called Rambo; I believe that the track is produced by Ski as his name is mentioned on the first break. I splitted that demo into a single file which you can download below this mix! Premier then mixes your favorites mid 90's hip hop tunes. Bahamadia even makes an appearance and talks about her then up&coming album Kollage.

Enjoy,

Original Flavor



Original Flavor-All That (LP Version) (1993)
Original Flavor-All That (Hard Beats Mix) (1993)

If there was one track that could define my short-lived relationship in the 9th grade it's gotta be this. For a group that had a rather lethargic rap career, Original Flavor had some decent cuts.

Made up of T-Strong, Chubby Chubb and legendary producer Ski. They dropped their debut This Is How It Is in 1992 with the help of then manager, Damon Dash and DJ Clark Kent. The album came and went with the quickness and was recently reissued by Traffic Entertainment, but it doesn't come close to Beyond Flavor, which I consider to be a guilty pleasure.

Flavor's sophomore release Beyond Flavor was released the following summer (93) and by the fall it could have been found at your local mom & pop's dollar bin. But that doesn't mean the album didn't have some gems. We all know the lead single "Can I Get Open" features Jay-Z in pre-Hova form but my personal favorites happen to be "Hit," "Keep On (Searching)" and of course "All That."

Don't get it twisted, Original Flavor were by no means lyrically lyrical. Their albums displayed forgettable verses backed by Ski beats but there's plenty here worthy of your attention. For those who never gave "Beyond Flavor" a shot, well here your chance. Enjoy or don't enjoy, quite frankly who gives a fuck it's free! --Philaflava
