” Under The Radar Wreck “

No disrespect to anyone, but I have never been the fan of the term “RANDOM RAP”..I’m not exactly sure who coined that particular description, but I feel that it undermines the artist and belittles their contributions…Anyway, after finally finishing the CHECK THE TECHNIQUE 2 book by Brian Coleman I kept thinking about the chapter on the BEAT NUTS where PSYCHO LES mentioned his first production credit on the 2-2-4 “Ill Tempo” 12 inch with co-production from ROB SWIFT (MADD RECORDS 1988)…..

Like many of you I have never heard this joint, so being the dedicated Hip Hop student I am, I went and tracked down a clip to check it out (I seriously doubt I will find this rare piece of wax for under 300 dollars, so I guess You Tube is the next best thing, somewhat)….After giving it a listen I was seriously surprised it went under my radar – because it is very fresh to say the least..
