From the vault: Obscure Disorder freestyle from 1997

June 10th, 2011

A-Trak + Obscure Disorder – “HipHopSite.Com Promo (1997)” by DJ Pizzo

Props to DJ Pizzo for unearthing this lost freestyle. I don’t think I heard this since we recorded it in 1997! I’m gonna let him tell the story:

I had the honor of spinning with A-Trak this past weekend at my regular residency, XS Las Vegas. I thought it might be a good idea to dig up this unreleased joint A-Trak did for HipHopSite.Com with his old group, Obscure Disorder, way back in 1997. We had planned to release some kind of mix tape of freestyles to help jump off HipHopSite back then, but it never ended up coming to fruition.
I got with Dave-One, whom you might know from Chromeo, who was running an indie hip-hop imprint called Audio Research. Dave produced all the beats for his group Obscure Disorder, of which A-Trak was the DJ. They whipped up this cool little promo joint for us which finds A-Trak cutting up the words “HipHopSite.Com”, and juggling copies of Dave-One’s original beat. Here it is, for the first time ever. – DJ Pizzo

Hiphopsite is selling lots of used vinyl

August 05th, 2009

Hiphopsite used to be THE reference for online sales of vinyl in the indie hip hop heyday, when I had my previous record label Audio Research. Then a few years ago they switched to digital sales, understandably. But what’s cool is they continued to sell used vinyl.

They now have 2000 listed items on their used vinyl storefront on Discogs.Com and have a couple of specials going on too. Check them out!

I don’t even remember this Tribe bootleg:
