| Boston native Edo G (Edward Anderson) and Da Bulldogs broke into the international hip hop scene in 1991 with the release of their debut album Life Of A Kid In The Ghetto, and after several successful singles were released from this first album including the party anthem ''I Got To Have It,'' which went to #1 on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles Chart and on the Yo! MTV Raps countdown, Edo still struggled to achieve breaking the surface of the underground and reaching classic status over the years. Now for the first time ever Edo, longtime friend and producer Joe Manfield (Vinyl Reanimators) and Direct Records present the ultimate companion set to this long lost album! A double disc set featuring 28 never before heard tracks, all
lifted from the original demo recording sessions. Included are alternative versions of the popular singles ''I Got To Have It'' and ''Be A Father To Your Child'' as well as the demo ''Feel Like A Nut'', the song that Mansfield says got them their deal in the industry to begin with. Classic early 90s boom bap, intelligent and witty word play, plus unheard guest shots from The Blastmaster KRS-One, Boston rhyme criminal Scientifik, and Da Bulldogs make this collection a must-have for any fan of the golden era days of hip hop. | |
