East Side Posse – UK Old Skool Hip Hop

16 March 2009 1,978 views 2 Comments

Many, many years ago (well, about 22 I think) I got myself a copy of this tape made by a group calling themselves East Side Posse. It’s been sat in my stash unplayed for many years now but whilst having a bit of spring clean today I discovered it once more. A quick search on Google throws up no info on these guys, so I’m guessing their efforts didn’t make it past the demo tape stage. They did do a few live appearances though and as luck would have it, I still have one of the posters from a performance in Bury St Edmunds back in either 87 or 88 (anyone confirm the year?).

So for your listening pleasure, here is an @192 rip of their demo tape. It’s almost complete but I taped over the last couple of tracks with a Mike Allen show.

Also, check the poster for that night of Hip Hop at the Rendesvous, Bury St Edmunds. In the house, Boy Blue, Zanie E, B. Nasty, Cha, DJ MD & DJ Lee.
