Before there was the Canadian electronic watershed label  +8 (plus8) generated by
John Acquaviva, there was this dip into the shallow end of the hip hop
arena.

I bought this in London Ontario after meeting Acquaviva at a performance
we did with him watching our own high school era (1990) rap group doing a gig
at Notes nightclub. While he left unimpressed I remained a fan of his output.

As for the group he produced here, Scott Down and DJ sike ONE , I have no speculation
to what they did after this. I heard they were from New York state, but I cannot confirm this.


Enjoy both sides of this rare independent hip hop.
