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

I miss this kind of rap. NOI-informed, Black love/righteous music.

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.

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.

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.
