Nick Wiz - Cellar Selections vol. 2 - Vinyl 2LP Reissue (Snippets)

flava for ya ear - 04/07/25

This tribute is long overdue and one listen to this mix you will witness exactly why it needed be manifested, B-Sides, Unreleased joints, solo joints and guest appearances it's all here and as I was compiling joints, it is very likely that a part 2 will suffice with a rare joint on the next one...so who is Maspyke?..

Maspyke is an underground Hip-hop group known for their smooth production and intelligent lyricism. The trio, consisting of Tableek, Hanif Jamiyl aka H Bomb Boogie, and Roddy Rod, blends jazz-influenced beats with sharp, thought-provoking rhymes, creating a signature sound that resonates with hip-hop purists. 

Hailing from the East Coast, Maspyke gained recognition in the late 1990s and early 2000s, releasing projects that showcased their deep musicality and socially conscious themes.

None stop mix of a selection of my favorite independent hip-hop cuts from- and around year 2000. This was the tail end of the golden era when indie hip-hop vinyl still sold decent volumes. 
The West Coast was just a strong as the East Coast in terms of output of underground hits.  
Releases from labels like ABB Records where more or less a default buy. 
DJ Revolution’s “In 12’s We Trust” LP is fantastic all way through and so is Cali Agent’s first LP, Laid In Full Chapter 2, Mykill Miers, Encore, Scum and so on…

BOOM BAP, stoopid

Give them flowers while they still can smell 'em.

Q-Tip has been one of my favorite artists; ever since he popped up on The Jungle Brothers' seminal 1st album, "Straight Out The Jungle", back in 1988 and -contrary to a lot of his contemporaries-, didn't lose a step over all those years, as evident by his work on Tribe's 2016 swansong "We Got It From Here.."

It's Tip's birthday today (10/04)and I figured to do an album sequence on him as well, as I just did one too, a couple of weeks ago, on his homie Phife Dawg to commemmorate his passing 4 years ago, by rounding up left overs, guest shots, rarities and 'homeless' singles.

The same recipe here, but to be fair, none of the material here is particularly rare, but since it's scattered, I thought it would be nice anyway to combine and sequence all this into one album, in the exact way The Abstract would've done it himself.

Enjoy & be safe.

And happy birthday, Kamaal!
