I want to start a thread of 90s rap records that aren't often discussed here.

I'll focus on singles that were dope/ringing off at the time because rap discussions on Twitter tend to focus on the same 15-20 "big ticket" classic albums, and this way, we can flesh things out a bit:
..and this isn't a "definitive" or authoritative anything. I'm just killing time until my mom finishes Christmas breakfast. Lol
I'm still not clear of how much burn this jawn got at the time. I know DJ Ran was playing it a lot in Philly when it came out.

S/O to the Mop Top and Elite Force crew
Another one that was making noise in the underground at the time. It still sounds crazy.
I miss this kind of rap. NOI-informed, Black love/righteous music.

I keep telling myself that I'm going to pull out this 12" and flip the acapella.
Anybody know anything about this crew? I taped this off the radio in 95' and grabbed the 12" later, but I still don't know who these cats are.
Spinna with the ill Kraftwerk sample and Kriminul catching wreck on the mic. This is still one of my favorite joints ever.
S/O to Mad Skillz and the whole Supafriendz crew from VA. I still love this jawn too.
Another dope VA crew. I remember bringing a tape of this to school and playing it for my man Herm.

R.I.P. Kleph Dollaz
Nowadays, UTD is best known as Yasiin Bey's crew. When this joint came out, I was waiting for their album to drop but it wasn't issued until later in the mid-2000s.
