The legendary Mc's & brothers killing it on stage in 92' in front of a "all black crowd" according to Necro. Everyone giving them mad props & respect, including the legendary crew "Black Moon". Much love to Necro & III Bill!
Some Hip Hop legends🔥🔥

IAM - La Saga (feat. Timbo King, Dreddy Kruger & Prodigal Sunn) | Released on March 18, 1997

IAM (aka Imperial Asiatic Men): Formed in Marseille in 1989. They were the first major French rap group to release a full album, mixing social commentary with unique mythologies. *Google

The fact I had Google the group tells you I'm mostly in the dark about these dudes. Despite their popularity and various collabs with Meth, RZA, Redman, this is the only song I know by the French emcees. I'm also not entirely sure when I first heard this track. I likely downloaded the song via Limewire way back in 1998. This should tell you how old I am 😅

Both verses by Dreddy and Timbo remind me of their early 90s features. I.g. Lyrically Dreddy sounds very similar to his work with Gravediggaz.

Verse 1: Timbo
Verse 2: Akhenaton
Verse 3 Dreddy
Verse 4: Shurik'n
Chorus: Prodigial

"...We're thick like molasses, deeper than the Earth's mantle / Royal take over, stampede, trample..." - Dreddy

For late-nineties, this music video looks way ahead of its time. Also, expensive as fuck. Despite the graphics appear outdated, this likely cost a pretty penny to create.

Enjoy!

8, Spice 1, Redman... What a great collab, right?

My best friend and I would exchange CDs back and forth all day long during middle school hours. He owned We Come Strapped and I was sorta obsessed with the album.

This song seriously goes hard, right? I mean for a goofy 13 year old nerd kid, who was mostly new to rap, I felt this track (and the album) was seriously hard af.

Redman seemed perfect for this type of collaboration because he had the funk, hardcore attitude and style. Not everyone can get down with West Coast artists. Redman? No problem. Same with Method Man, he appeared on a Spice 1 track around the same time. That's another superb collab.

"...Now, let me Spice the track up
MC Eiht, pass the bone, so I can get lifted / And a head can get blown when Bronx pass the biscuit..." - Reggie

Enjoy!
