Death Row Special
Reported by: Nino Brown

As requested here are 2 songs from Da Bastardz 1996 EP, released on Death Row Records. "Target Practice Niggas" (Stream) Produced by K Solo. "Em-Pha-Fucking-Red" (Stream) Produced by Dr Dre.

Da Bastardz was an East Coast project back in the day, when 'Death Row East' was set to happen. Part of the labels success was due to their artists originating from all over, former LA Posse affiliate Lady of Rage from VA, Kurupt was from Philly, Sam Sneed Pittsburgh, K Solo Brooklyn NY. Suge brought Eric B in from New York to be the president of Death Row East. RUN DMC were invited to become a part of Death Row, the night Tupac was shot, they were at club 662 in Las Vegas with the purpose of joining.

Heres MC Hammer's single from last year "Pop Your Collar" (Stream). As you know Hammer was tight with Suge back in the 80's & part of the Death Row family in 96. Tho due to the problems at the label during that time & Suge not being able to market his artists as he does, he then moved on & created his indi label 'Defence'. Heres Hammer's version of "Unconditional Love" (Stream) which was originally a track from the late 2Pac, that appeared on Pac's Greatest Hits. Hammer DID record material with 2Pac, one track they did was a remake of the Ohio Players Skin Tight titled "Too Tight", it was Hammer's concept, but Pac wrote his verse & I believe brought in Ebony on background vocals.......


You Death Row Records fans will be pleased to know that there is life at the label. The latest addition to the roster is to be none other than the greatest MC/Producer/Songwriter of all time! Its not for me to say who, be looking for the new video from that likwit affiliate (whos been working with dude a lot recently), to see WHO !! !!!!. Suge isnt finished even if the artists in development are. (who was this person)


Here is Phats Bossi's 'Through The Rain' (Stream) from the new Uninvited Guest OST, written & produced by Warren G & Dr Dre. Thank you to axle. does any1 have this song??
