Marley Marl - In Control with Ultramagnetic MCs & 3rd Bass (1989)

Aaaaand, we're back! Everything is unpacked and plugged in at the new place so normal service can now be resumed. I haven't actually had time to rip anything but I found this on the hard drive and thought I'd give it a new lease of life. Marley Marl's show on the weekend of the New Music Seminar back in July 1989. 3rd Bass and Ultramagnetic in the studio. Off you go...

This must've been one of the first tape rips of its kind online, or at least one of the first I downloaded back in the dial-up days. The file info tells me its courtesy of the homie A to the L so shout out to him.

3rd Bass - Capital Rap Show promo (1992)

Follwing the popular 'Best Of 94' Westwood show that I dropped recently, Mr Lawson hooked me up with the 'Best Of 92' selection from when Big Tim was still on Capital FM. That tape is coming soon but in the meantime I thought I'd share this snippet from it: Pete Nice and MC Serch trading verses over EPMD's 'Rampage' beat...

I'm not sure if it really falls into the 'slept on' category but 3rd Bass's debut 'The Cactus' is definitely one of my all time favourite albums. It was the first album I bought on CD aswell so I played it to death and know it pretty much inside out. The lyrics are solid and Sam Sever's beats still sound fresh (shame he never really blew up on a larger scale). Anyway, if you're not familiar with it, I highly recommend it.

BONUS!
An unreleased 3rd Bass/Brand New Heavies collaboration, presumably intended for BNH's 'Heavy Rhyme Experience' album.
