Words by Eddie STATS Houghton, via Library of Vinyl
The archivists over at the Library of Vinyl just posted a thing they call the Mastermind Monstamix comprising Boston-area hiphop/reggae fusion released in the 90s heyday of Massive B, Salaam Remi, Nervous records, etc. We at Largeup always like to see somebody shining a light on an unexplored corner of the dancehall diaspora (and beaucoups thanks to reggaematical scholar Wayne&Wax for ringing this particular alarm). But it’s also nice to know there are some corners left to be trailblogged: I had to listen to this blend straight through twice to be sure that they omitted my favorite beantown steppers joint “Three The Yard Way” over the classic Special Ed/James Bond “On A Mission” beat. Hotter than the fire on the planet Mars!
