The Crates of Wrath: Old Songs From My Collection
Goin’ through some old CDs last night, I stumbled upon this little gem. The Desert Dwellas, straight outta Vegas, released The Killa Fish Prauject roughly a decade ago. I bought it on the strength of a review I read somewhere, back when people used to do things like buy CDs by artists they’d never heard of. I’m glad I did. (Songs after the jump)
DESERT DWELLAS–THE KILLA FISH PRAUJECT
Pain From Memory Lane
Stick It To ‘Em
Lost Episodes
Shadow Returns
A few of these songs really got stuck in my head, eventually making it on to the mix-cassettes I used to send to my music-starved compatriots back in the day (before the internet ruined everything). This album was produced by Head Stimulata Productions, who are still going strong in LV, and it’s their work I wanna highlight here. Basically, if I like your beat, I like your song…and I liked these beats a lot. I hope you will, too.
Make an enjoyful noise,
Grip Grand
PS–If anyone stumbles across the sample from Lost Episodes, lemme know. I’d love to hear it, that shit is so tight…

I think it’s a Fugees sample.
I kid. I kid because I care. I remember when you sent me this. Same era as Red Foo and Dre Kroon, who have apparently split and now Foo makes party music like “Miami Bitch.” Just to make sure you’re paying attention.

Al Jones, it is funny you mentioned Red Foo. I was just telling someone the other day how the one thing I like about the Black Eyed Peas was that they featured him on their first album, on the song, “Duet.” So hot. I also heard he is making party music now, too bad, but maybe being an unknown in the rap game for 10+ years will do that to a guy.
I’m in LA, trick.
