First Time Recordz! | 1989 | 12" | This is one rare record. I sold copies of it on Ebay for $400 to collectors who had been looking for it for years - The production and samples are indicative of what was happening nationally in hip-hop....but yet it had a Bay flavor too - 1989 was also the period before gangsta began to really take over in a large way | 0:34:44 (Pop-up) | |
