Siah and Yeshua Dapo ED… A name that brings back memories of a time when independent Hip Hop was at its zenith. They released their 1996 debut vinyl-only EP “The Visualz” on Bobbito Garcia’s famous record label Fondle ‘Em Records. The EP featured rapping from the group’s two MCs, production from Jon Adler, and a guest appearance by Ken Bugaloo. Siah and Yesh also went on to record various solo tracks and the duo appeared on numerous compilations and as featured artists on a plethera of tracks. Now, for the first time in its entirity, the group’s collective work is digitally re-mastered and released on CD. The deluxe package contains never before seen photographs, unreleased and rare tracks, live show flyers and liner notes by Bobbito Garcia. A true collector’s item!

“Glory Be. Fondle ‘Em do it again. Wide funk vibes and Birdland dwarfisms mixed up with inspiried verbiage… for full-on, beat- switching story-telling, check the 11-minute epic, ‘A Day Like Any Other’. Bliss.” — Muzik (Vital Release)

“Siah & Yeshua have heated up the Hip Hop crucible with an ambitious and creative EP… the chemistry between the two MCs flow like liquid lightning, especially on ‘A Day Like Any Other,’ their 11 minute tour de force of verbal tag-teaming. As well, [they] whip up jazzy brews on the musical tip, drawing from influences as far and wide as Igor Stravinsky, Herbie Mann and Quincy Jones… a rarely-heard, amazing effort that quenches the creative thirst of both mind and ear. Siah & Yeshua represent the fullest, underground Hip Hop at its height of cutting-edge creativity.” — O-Dub, URB (The Next 100)

“If you are into Hip Hop that borders on the cutting edge musically, then you’ll definitely want to check for [this]. Standout joints include the 11-minute beat excursion “A Day Like Any Other,” “The Visualz” and “No Soles’ Dopest Opus.” This record is definitely not for the one-dimensional fan of Hip Hop.” — Beni B, (The Vinyl Exchange)

Live beats from Dj Premier, Pete Rock and Alchemist. MCs scheduled are A.G., Boot Camp Clik, Big Noyd, Masta Ace, Reef The Lost Cauze plus 25 more! Not sure what to expect? Check out this best of 2007 compilation someone (who?) put together. (thanks michelle)
