Rather Be "Tried By 12"?
East Flatbush Project feat. Payday
-
1994 10/30 Uproar Records
Soon to be overshadowed by East Flatbush Project's subsequent release, Tried By 12 (arguably the most well-known mid-90's "underground" hip-hop 12"), Payday gave us this one to enjoy in late 1994, and enjoy it we did.
The beat, while not technically astounding, makes good use of horns and some kind of chanting sounds that add up to a nice total package that's worth more than a few head nods.
Solid mic skills are on display throughout, and the standard Brooklyn street-rap is even a notch above average here, but somebody pleeease tell me how nobody caught the misspelling of the home borough in the last verse... or else why nobody spoke up about it. Craziness.
