Our 100th release is from Bay Area Legend SAAFIR!!! Reggie Gibson, better known as Saafir, is an MC, producer and actor from Oakland California and a member of the rap group "Golden State Project" (formerly known as Golden State Warriors) with Ras Kass and Xzibit. Born in Oakland, California, SAAFIR lived with 2Pac and became a dancer for Digital Underground. Saafir made his recording debut on several cuts on Digital Underground's The Body-Hat Syndrome in 1993, followed by an appearance on Casual's Fear Itself in early 1994. He appeared in the film Menace II Society as Harold Lawson, and was featured on the film's soundtrack. With a deal from Qwest Records, Saafir recruited the Hobo Junction production team (J Groove, J.Z., Rational, Big Nose, and Poke Martian) for his debut, Boxcar Sessions (1994). Saafir is an Underground legend known for his abstract style.

We are happy to bring together unreleased tracks from the Boxcar Sessions, and a few more rare cuts from SAAFIR'S vaults to make up the SAAFIR "BOXCAR SESSIONS DEMO" LP!!!  

12 tracks in all, Housed in a full color jacket and limited to 350 copies!!
