LL Cool J - Year Of The Hip Hop
(Produced by K-Def)
Back in 1994 K-Def was working on some beats out of the B Room in Marley Marl's House Of Hits when LL Cool J walked in on his session and said "let's make some tracks together". Uncle L had always wanted to rhyme on a track using the famous ESG breakbeat 'UFO', so he had Def lay it down with some scratches and then went to town with the mic. Both thought they had a sure fire hit on their hands but unfortunately it was never used.
The DAT tape of the studio session was feared lost for several years before it eventually turned up stuck behind a radiator! Now, 17 years later, K-Def and Slice-of-Spice are proud to present 'Year Of The Hip Hop' in all it's vinyl glory.

what a pace. I cannot forget Chief Rocka and Mad Props. K-Def is a hero who actually played a big role in letting me love hip-hop back when I was 12-13.
