"Hard to believe but before the likes of Missy Elliot, Rah Digga or Lil Kim broke big, a female on the mic was an seen as an anomaly. But, as B.Girls from B Boy Records proves, women have been an important and vital part of hip hop since 'back in the day'. Looking to give the B Girls some shine, B Boy assembled this (long out of print and never on CD) compilation of some of the Tri State's most exciting female talent back in '87. From the original liner notes, 'female rappers are aching to be a part of this rap ideology, and now B Boy records has done it, we're giving all the girl rappers a champion they can root for...now we have a B Girl Possie in full effect: Sparky D., L.A. Star, Baby Doll, 5 Star Moet.' This important piece of old school archeology is back in effect and available for the first time on CD. The music is lovingly remastered from the original audio and packaged in a six panel digipack filled with original B. Girls photos and imagery. As the original liner notes say: 'B. Girls from B Boy Records. Fresh forever suckers.'"

Catalog #:	TEG 76544CD

"In 1985, a young and homeless Lawrence Krisna Parker (Rapper KRS-One) met social worker Scott Sterling (Producer/DJ Scott La Rock) at a Bronx shelter. They hooked up with (uncredited) producer Ced Gee from the Ultramagnetic MC's to cut 'South Bronx' and 'The Bridge Is Over,' monumental records which toppled the Queens-based Juice Crew and forever cemented the Bronx's place in the history of hip-hop. These tracks, along with the sublime 'Poetry' and the shocking '9mm Goes Bang,' formed the basis of the now classic full length Criminal Minded. As the record took off, Scott La Rock was killed in a street-side shooting while coming to the aid of BDP rapper/producer/protege D-Nice. From the now out-of-print compilation, The Man and His Music, this set adds a DJ Red Alert megamix, circa late '80s, and the early tracks, 'Advance' and 'D-Nice Rocks the House.' Also included is the rare early single 'Say No Brother.' This limited package also features uber rare unpublished photographs of KRS with Scott taken by Janette Bekman but never used in the original The Man and His Music packaging."
