This is the reason I took down the Kool G. Rap "I Declare War" Rap Treat - Marley Marl's The Juice Crew EP that the G. Rap song is original from. Usually I wouldn't post a whole release like this, but since it only came out on wax and was limited to 350 copies (which are all sold out) I figured it's cool this time around. Plus, it's dope as fuck and I'm a Cold Chillin' junkie so here you go. Big up DWG for even think of putting this out and making it happen.
This is a collection of never released before material that Marley Marl had left over from Juice Crew recording sessions from the late 80's. The G. Rap "I Declare War" record is left over from the Road To Riches sessions. The Super Kids record is a very young Tragedy the Intelligent Hoodlum and was recorded the same week as "Eric B Is President" & "The Bridge". Big Daddy Kane's "For Your Own Concern" has been floating around Blogland as a radio rip, but this is the straight off the master version. The song was intended for Long Live The Kane but according to the press release it "some how never made it". The second Kool G. Rap record is "Enter The Dragon" which came out in 1996 but with a not so good remixed beat that wasn't the original Marley Marl version. This version is the original. Craig G's record "Drop A Bomb On Em" was recorded sometime around In Control Vol. 1, but like the rest of the EP never seen the light of day. I don't even know what to say. This shit here is the definition of a Rap Treat.
I gotta give my man English Bob mega props for this one. His record, his rip, and he's the reason you're getting it. I never got my hands on a copy but if anybody has one I'll pay!
