” Boostin Kev ” was a member of Brooklyn’s ” Lo- Lifes ” crew….A notorious posse of boosters who terrorized the east coast for ” Polo ” wears in the 80’s and early 90’s….Many are aware of the ” Lo- Lifes ” due to ” Thirstin Howl 3rd and ” Rack Lo “, who have kept the name alive in the 21st century….But ” Boostin Kev ” is the first ” LL” on wax….

” To All My Peoples That Be Boostin “, is straight up classic Hip Hop….Kev stays on topic for the whole song, the beat is bangin, and his charisma and personality bounce all over the track….When I first heard this in 94/95, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing….It sounded so different compared to anything else that was coming out at the time…..Unfortunately, ” Kev ” passed away some years back….But his music is still around to keep our spirits up….

Salute to you ” Boostin Kev ‘ for being one of the true originators R.I.P….

To find out more about the ” Lo- Lifes ‘ { The motherfuckers who really put Lo on the map as far as Hip Hop is concerned } CHECK IN

This looks like it’s going to be out of control…Major shout out 2 ” All Natural Inc ” for getting at me on a constant….100

Lord Tariq is one of the most slept on mc’s in Hip Hop…..I remember hearing him destroy ” Doo Wop ” mixtapes with crazy lines like, ” I don’t believe in white Jesus, so fuck reading bibles / back up , strap up Lord Tariq is on arrival “…..Ouch…..Yeah, he was on that ill shock rap shit…..He was the type of M.C. to make you hit the rewind button on your boom box….

As a member of ” Money Boss Players ” he kept bringing the drama, but his work with ” Gunrunners ” { Peter Gunz, Triple X } deserves shine as well….The ” Life And Death ” E.P. came out in 1995, and here are my favorite cuts ” Shakedown ” and ” Darkside “…….Dont sleep….
