Mental Giants - "Uptown Drifter" - 1996

Описание: Jazz Child Records, 1996 // This one is already on YT, but the sound was terrible so I thought I'd provide a proper high quality rip. In 1996, the Cold Crush Brothers made a return 12" produced by DJ Parker Lee... which was pretty mediocre in itself, but the B-side featured another group, Parker Lee and an MC named Akbar, who later had a solo career. They worked under the name Mental Giants, and their 4 tracks were definitely the highlight of this dual 12" release on Jazz Child Records, a Chicago-based label although all the artists were repping the Bronx. Be sure to look for the other tracks here online, especially "AK's Groove". Recently, Mental Giants have resurfaced/reunited and are working together again on new material, videos and remixing songs from this 12"... search on YT to see their new work.

The sole purpose of these videos is to expose independent artists and obscure vinyl releases to the public and for personal commentary. Most of the tracks I choose to post are being uploaded online for the first time, or have never even been documented on the internet before. All tracks are direct vinyl rips from physical releases that I personally obtained. I will always provide Discogs links to provide full information, and I strongly encourage trying to purchase the record if you like what you hear, even if it may be difficult to find. Support independent artists, record stores, and crate digging worldwide!
