The Heavy Bronx Experiance #1
Well we've recently given props to Brooklyn, The West Coast & The UK on CHHV, now we head back to The East Coast and focus on The Bronx.
Famed for it's Zoo, River and the Yankee Stadium, the Bronx also became a hip hop stonghold in the 1980's thanks to the notorious 'bridge' wars between Boogie Down Productions from South Bronx and the Juice Crew headed up by Queensbridge's Marley Marl and MC Shan.
BDP's debut lp "Criminal Minded" was co-produced by another bronx bomber known as Ced Gee. His studio and emcee skills were also showcased alongside Kool Keith, Moe Love & TR Love aka the Ultramagnetic MC's.
The Ultramagnetics combined an 'intergalatic' concept of rhyming alongside a brand of soul/funk breaks, much sharper than seen before. This set them apart from the competition and it wasn't long before their debut lp "Critical Beatdown" was certified a modern day classic.
Due to label hopping, internal friction and marketing problems, Ultra never really made it into the mainstream. The flipside of this is that they acheived cult status within the hip hop underground. This was typified by the enormous amount of bootleg material that was released following their break-up up in the early 90's. Kool Keith exploited this following and became a cult recording artist in his own right during the 1990's after a succesful sequence of solo lp's.
THBE#1 features two classics from the Ultra era - "Poppa Large" arguebly Kool Keith's greatest work, aided and abetted by the Beatminerz on remix duty. We also present their comeback single "Raise It Up", taken from their last studio lp The Four Horsemen in 1993, and it features Godfather Don on guest emcee duty.
Enjoy!
