Heavy Artillery Graffiti Crew

Now i’m not sure whether any of you are interested or not but I myself am pretty much obsessed with rare and hard to find rap records from 1988-1992. I know this is technically a ‘Graffiti’ website but seeing as i haven’t done a great deal this week due to the weather and work i thought i’d diversify the site content..

This period of rap is commonly described as the golden era as it was when the craziest amount of sampling and musical development was able to take place in a pretty much ‘use any funky sample’ free for all, until the record labels and forgotten artists decided enough was enough and it was time to share the wealth.
Certain records garner more praise than others sometimes this due to certain personel that were involved, dopeness, obscureness/rareness, or sometimes the fact that the wax has been included on a killer mix cd.
The two records here are dope/desirable for seperate reasons..

RON B – STITCH BY STITCH.
Certain records are hard to find and some are next to impossible to find, this one is rare as it is but to find a sealed one is ridiculous..
This track is sought after due to its inclusion on the ‘HEAR NO EVIL’ mix series by DJ IVORY.
This record has been known to top the $1000 mark on ebay.

MAIN SOURCE – THINK / ATOM.
Main source are one of the most important rap groups from the tail end of the golden era. This 12″ mixed and engineered by the late great PAUL C one of the most respected rap producers of the late 80′s.
This record is the debut for the group that would go on to create some of the most incredible rap records of the late 80′s early 90′s even being the group to give NAS the spotlight for the first time.

I might delete this post in a few days i was just messing about in my ‘record room’ and decided to get my lady to film me breaking the seals on these two great great records..
