JC Flow - Verb Noun Vibe (2010 Seattle, Wa) MR. E - XV - ADAM LAMBERT - TIFFANY WILSON

As promised, here is the follow up to JC's debut, "My Life". Seattle's JC took some time off between the two albums. I believe "My Life" was his debut, and it was released in the late 90's, and Verb Noun Vibe is his second release,  put out in 2010.

I'm not sure what he was doing all of those years he had between releases but, I think he was producing for his fellow PNW rap acts.

Back to this album. Verb Noun Vibe features 16 tracks. Tons of guest spots on this one too. Tiffany Wilson (DJ on 93.3 K.U.B.E. FM) , Roc'Phella, Rob Darkie,  Lady Scribe, Adam Lambert, J. Fox, XV, Mr. E, Hersh, Mike Eddie, Katherine Romanoj, and J Reale.

Production was all JC Flow himself.

Don't sleep on this man. Check out this one or his debut, which was my last post.

SILAS BLAK - 1986 (2006 Seattle, WA - Silent Lambs Project - Blak Stax

This item has been sold, and is currently unavailable.

Silas Blak is Seattle hip hop. Long before Macklemore wrote his Seattle anthem "The Town", you know the one where he says "14 Fathoms Deep, Do the Math, Tribal" praising these classic Seattle hip hop compilations, Silas was rappin` on them.

He then went on and made the lesser known, but great hip hop gem "Soul Liquor" with Silent Lamb Project. Next he made the topic of this post, "1986" a dope 7 track hip hop masterpiece. Later hooked up with the Blak Stax crew, and I believe he is currently doing a Cabin Games project.

Back to the topic of this blog post..... If you would like to own "1986", send me (Ken) an email/offer to insanelyraremusic@gmail.com. Don`t sleep this one is impossible to find, and will be gone quickly!

JANET JACKSON - Got Til It`s Gone (1997 PROMO) Q TIP - JONI MITCHELL

Here`s a rare promotional only cd single from Janet Jackson. It features 5 versions of the song "Got Til It`s Gone". The song featured guest spots from Joni Mitchell and the rapper Q Tip from the hip hop group "Tribe Called Quest".

Tracklist:

1. Radio Edit 2. No Q Tip 3. No Rap 4. Instrumental 5. Album Version

Here`s Nomad`s 2001 release "Art Of Da Griot". It has 14 fresh tracks. Nomad was an artist who moved to Seattle, from Chicago. He seemed to have more success over here in Seattle. He had a dope song “Sadistic Flow” that was on the Classic Elements compilation which featured a bunch of other legendary Seattle rappers. He released “Windy City Hustle” in 1996 which had two songs. Mr Supreme of Conception Records handled the production and Jake One appearance on the title track. Nomad released a bunch of vinyl over the years on his 360 Degree Entertainment label.

YOUNG DYNASTY - Chosen Generation Mixtape Vol. 1 (2006 Tacoma, WA) CLEMM RISHAD - CHANELLE RAY

Here`s a super dope mixtape from the Northwest`s "Young Dynasty". This was released way back in 2006. It features 24 tight tracks. Young Dynasty was a super talented group that featured Clemm Rishad, Chanelle Ray, Nu Money, and Scorpio. They are no longer a group, but I think all of them are doing solo stuff. Clemm Rishad has really made a name for himself.

GRIEVES - Every Hell Has It`s Springtime Album Sampler (2004 Seattle, WA) RARE - UNRELEASED TRACKS

Here is a must have for any Seattle rap music collector. This was a promo sampler for Grieves 2005 debut "Every Hell Has It`s Springtime". Like the full album, this sampler features 8 tracks, all of which are FULL songs and not snippets, BUT 2 of them are different, and I believe they have never been released anywhere but on this cd.

So here is the tracklist for the 2005 official album:

1. Intro 2. Garbage 3. Fairytale Bullshit 4. Money Game ft. Mark Nizzle 5. Breathe 6. Dear Friend ft. Tripple Mike 7. A Song For Us 8. Outro.

Now here is the tracklist for this sampler:

1. Intro 2. Garbage 3. Dear Friend ft. Tripple Mike 4. Sickness ft. DJ Mark Nizzle, Joe Cash, & Rajni 5. Fairytale Bullshit 6. A Song For Us 7. Instrumental ft. Mr. Pants 8. Outro.

As you can see the album sampler has 2 different tracks than the full album, trsck 4. Sickness ft. DJ Mark Nizzle, Joe Cash, & Rajni, and track 7. Instrumental ft. Mr. Pants Like I said, I don`t think these two songs are on any other releases.

Don`t miss your chance to own this. You won`t find this cd or these 2 unreleased tracks anywhere else! If you want to purchase this cd, send me (Ken) an offer to insanelyraremusic@gmail.com

They came together in 1991 and soon after signed a deal with Eazy-E's Ruthless Records. Unfortunately they only had a few releases. Before inking a deal with Ruthless they released a 12" of "They Don't Know", which ended up being a bonus cut on "Paid The Cost" which is their second release.They also had a track on the Trespass Soundtrack in 1993. P.P.C. reunited in 2001 and have made music together and solo.

It features 12 dope tracks, with guest spots from super producer Sean T, Caus, D Villain, Papoose, Mob Boss, Double O, Gangsta G, and Scrib. It also features one of my all time favorite songs, track #7, "187 Skills". It is a gritty hardcore song with a classic "g-funk" beat from Sean T". This cd is almost worth buying for that song alone. The whole album is sick! Don't miss your chance to own it!

Here`s a super dope compilation from Sir Mix A Lot`s "Rhyme Cartel" Records. It features Seattle rap and R&B talent, including E Dawg, Kid Sensation, Mix A Lot, Jay Skee, 3rd Level, and Jazz Lee Alston.
The most remembered track from this one in my opinion is the opening song "Drop Top" by E Dawg, featuring Bay Area rapper "Filthy Rich". This track was tight and was and still is a Seattle anthem!

ORGANIK PRODUCE - Farmer`s Market EP - 2000 Tacoma, WA - HIP HOP - RARE OOP

SORRY, THIS ITEM HAS BEEN SOLD, AND IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE!

Tacoma Washington`s "Organik Produce", released this underground hip hop classic in 2000. The group consisted of members: K Dueskie, Truss One, and Snake. The trio formed "Organik Produce" in 1999 and one year later released this classic. The group rocked shows and made noise but never made another album. K Dueskie kept grinding, dropping solo music, he has also been in two groups with fellow OP member Snake. Truss One is still active, making dope shit. Snake, is now "Jake One" and is very active. I believe he is signed to Rhymesayers Ent. and has produced sick tracks for Brother Ali, Freeway, and more!
