I bought this record at Vintage Vinyl for $1.99. It one of the few that I kept from my 1st collection that I sold in 94' before I moved to NYC. Haven't seen another copy like it. Back then I used to date the record when I got it and write the BPM on the label. I don't do that anymore as it lowers the value for re-sale. Definatly on my top 10 list of all time favorite hip hop records.

Biz Markie "Nobody Beats the Biz" White Label Promo
I found this on my own, before I was in the record biz full time. It's kind of obscure as I haven't seen another white label of this title. I always used to make a habit of rolling up on Biz and picking his brain for knowlege, before the serato revolution, and he knows his stuff. I had this autographed by him in 1999 when he came to a free concert w/ De la Soul and Pharhoe Monch. When He got done, I chased him down and talked for a few. He asked me if I wanted to sell this record to him, and I said: naw, sorry man, I gotta hang on to this one... He was very cool about it... Biz is a very smart man when it comes to music...
GHETTO BOYS "Grip it on another level" EP (Gangster Of Love)
I used to do a radio show called: The Science... Being on the radio, I had to have the clean wax, Or clean up a dirty version and play it from CD... Gangster of love is a really funny, silly dope record and this version is rare and clean.. I thank Funkyou! for the hard work he puts in for diggin this one up....

Longsy D and Cutmaster M.C. "Hip Hop Reggae"
Back in the late 80's, My friend would bring back WBLS cassette tapes from New York.. Marley Marl used to host the show: In Control.. This record was remixed by him and he would play this even before it was pressed up... Marley was always remixing things, As you will notice with Biz Markie: Make the Music and the Symphony, just to name a few.. I bought the record new in 1988 and haven't seen one since, nor is it in the freddy fresh hip hop guide as a domestic press.... Real funky reggae hip hop from england via NYC...
