Seagram feat. Scarface, Ganksta N-I-P and Willie D “Action Speaks Louder Than Words”
Produced by: Mark Anthony and Troy White
Appears on: The Dark Roads (1993, Rap-A-Lot Records)
Description: Off Seagram’s debut album The Dark Roads, this track featuring the legendary Geto Boys is certain to get your head nodding. Also, J. Prince calls out Dr. Dre in a not so subtle way on the intro. — Magneto

Appears On: Word Power (1989, Epic/Rhyme Syndicate Records)
Description: Divine Styler was down with Ice-T’s Rhyme Syndicate, and his music was simultaneously danceable, abstract, and politically conscious. “Ain’t Sayin’ Nothin” is one of his greatest moments; hardcore Blackalicious fans will recognize a gem at the start of the second verse. — Thun

Rufus Black feat. The LOX “Artifacts of Life”
Produced by: Chad “Dr. Ceuss” Elliot
Appears on: Credentials (1998, Perspective Records)

Appears on: Dropping Soulful H20 On The Fiber (1993, Chrysalis)
Description: The apprentices outshine their teacher, as Milwaukee’s Gumbo deliver a harder, more palatable version of Arrested Development’s earthy “life music” vibe. Fans of LA’s Log Cabin should recognize this beat. — Thun

Produced by: LE Square

Produced by: Beatnuts
Appears on: God Connections (1996, Correct Records)
Description: This tale of the crime side was already two-thirds dope the moment you heard the Raekwon and Christopher Walken (King of New York) samples, and then Kool Fash just finishes it off. — Philaflava

Main One feat. Smoothe The Hustler and Trigga The Gambler “Cross Examination”
Producer: Tic
Appears On: “Something Special” / “Cross Examination” VLS (1997, Main One Recordings)

CRU feat. Ras Kass “The Ebonic Plague”
Produced by: Yogi
Appears on: Da Dirty 30 (1997, Violator Records)
Description: We all know who stole the show and by the end we all were taken, literally. “I’m abductin’ muthafuckin’ rappers to my inner space station–fa sheezy!” — Philaflava

Young Zee feat. Pacewon and Slang Ton “Electric Chair”
Produced by: ???
Appears on: Musical Meltdown (unreleased, intended for release in 1996 on Perspective Records)
Description: A hard to find (especially the full five minute plus version) but worthwhile gem from Young Zee’s unreleased Musical Meltdown album. This is a classic example of the New Jersey-based Outsidaz at their apex: funny, gritty, lyrical, and committed to making sure that all biting MCs get the electric chair. — Magneto

Kam “Every Single Weekend”
Produced by: DJ Pooh and Rashad Coes
Appears on: Various Boyz N The Hood (Music From The Motion Picture) (1991, Qwest Records)

King Sun “Fat Tape”

You hear Ras back then and you think "How did this guy miss?" He had skills, personality and a great sense of humor. He just needed a better team
