Red Alert on Kiss 98.7FM (Dec '89)


Been a while since I posted anything but not really had anything of note to share (mostly been messing around with acapellas on Twitter). My man at Grime & Lime kindly sent me over a couple of tapes including this Red Alert mix on Kiss FM's Mastermix Dance Party from December 1989 so here you go.

I have been trying to source more tapes - they are out there - but it's easier said than done. Hopefully someone comes through soon. If you've got some you'd like to get digitised get in touch.

Red Alert on Kiss FM (28.12.90)



Kool DJ Red Alert on WKRS in December 1990. Another one where I'm not entirely sure of the original source as I just found it on a CDR with some other bits from 2007.

Red Alert on Kiss 98.7 FM (1994)

Kool DJ Red Alert in the mix on Kiss 98.7 FM back in '94. Like the other Red tapes I've heard, there's no talking (and even some of the drops are pretty quiet) but the selection is on point. I've taken a guess at the date, based partly on the 30 minutes of a Flex Street Jams show on the same tape. Liking that Markey Fresh track produced by 45 King. Not heard it before but going to seek that out.



tracklist
Kenny Dope - Get On Down
Masta Ace - Born To Roll
Kurious - I'm Kurious
Da King & I - Tears
Outkast - Player's Ball
Fat Joe - The Shit Is Real (DJ Premier remix)
Domino - Sweet Potatoe Pie
Maestro Fresh Wes - Certs Wid Out Da Retsyn
Ice Cube - You Know How We Do It
Snoop Dogg - Gin & Juice
Jeru The Damaja - D Original
Markey Fresh - On The Real

Red Alert on Hot 97 (1996)


30 minutes of Red Alert in the mix on Hot 97. It's a bit scrappy - whoever recorded it got far too trigger happy with the pause button which rendered the other side of the tape useless - but still worth a listen. It is Red Alert after all...




Tape straight out of  DJ MK's enviable stash.

Red Alert on Kiss FM (1988)

30 minutes of Red Alert on Kiss FM from 1988, throwing down some Kid N Play, Jungle Brothers and Public Enemy...

(theres a possibility it might actually be Sammy B from Jungle Brothers on the tables but as I don't know for certain and its got Red's promos at the start I'm going with the Propmaster)

Red Alert on Kiss FM (1992)

So far, this is probably my favourite tape out of the bunch Tobes gave me last month. Red Alert gets busy live on NYC radio in November 1992. Lots of treats on this plus a couple of songs I didn't recognise - can anyone ID the 'Give Me The Night' sampling track on side A?

DOWNLOAD

I knew this was gonna be a good when the adverts at the start included a St Ides commercial by Willie D. That was (suprisingly) followed by Red dropping 'Secrets (Of Success)' by the UK's own Cookie Crew and then into some Ice Cube, Nice & Smooth and Brand Nubian. On side B you'll find Scarface, Gang Starr, D Nice and Slick Rick amongst others. Vintage stuff and highly recommended.

Because I know certain completist rap nerd types out there will want it, I seperated that Willie D/St Ides joint. You can download that here
