88:Komaflash/Organics - Neomuc 12"

88:Komaflash/Organics - Neomuc 12"
(Pigeon Records - 2002)

Here is a rare vynil. I don't remember a lot about these groups. Obviously, 88:Komaflash come from Deutschland. I guess they're the one who started this project as well because it was released on a German label. They could be qualified as "german-speaking abstract hip-hop"... maybe some people will like it, but it sounds just like you can imagine it...

The Organics are from San Jose and I think I used to have some info about them but that was a long time ago and I forgot, if you know more, please tell me... One of their beats is produced by Glue who later released an album on Galapagos 4, though I would not swear this is the same person. The Organics are pretty decent MCs, the beats however are pretty boring... as it is often the case with releases from this scene...

Rifleman - Kclassixx vol. II
Afterlife - 2001

This is the second album of Rifleman on Afterlife. It's longer than the previous one, and the beats are more consistent... when they're not straight up noise. Whatever, it's the way Rifleman adapts to the syncoped beats with so much versatility that's interesting. This what styling is about.

2. Shyt Talkerz
3. Voices in my Head
4. A Lot on It

Rifleman - Kclassixx vol. 1
(Afterlife Records, 1999)

Too much delay, too much noise & hiss on every track, this is RifleMan's first album on his own label Afterlife Records and it dates back to 1999. For those who do not know RifleMan yet, he was at first affiliated to the almighty Freestyle Fellowship crew and Project Blowed scene where he developped his typical ultra fast delivery.
Hence his name : Rifleman, because he spits lyrics as fast as an automatic weapon. He is definitely a legend in LA and though he never really had mainstream exposure he has influenced loads of underground LA emcees...

He is also a founding member of Afterlife Records, the underground label whose trademark is : dope MCs on lousy, badly recorded tracks burnt on crappy CD-Rs. Yet the poor sound quality is part of the legend, but it has surely been effective in preventing these extremely gifted individuals from reaching any public except stoned nerds like me... Too bad...

Seems like there's a small featuring of NGA FSH, one of my favorite emcees too on Fuck A Cop...
