That d.p.h. cd always comes up on EBAY along with MANIAC from sacramento....Is that a tape release only to ?
Yeap, like a lot of stuff calstate sold, it's probably the FIRST ever issue of it, ie G-Side - Maniac, Ice Water - Dead Soldier, Straight Game - Gotta Get Paid, H-Wood's 2 cds, Young Bread...
but.... It's just old resurrected studio sessions from the 90's.
That Maniac title you're talking about is by G-Side, one of Dre-D's homies. That never came out in the 90's.
then there's Ultimate Sounds, DPH Street Stories, 2 Black Basstuds, SMG.. all previously avail. on tape only.
I'm waitin to see if he cd presses The Slumpulation or reissues Raw Deal.. Prolly round the corner.
I have it on good authority that some of the artists didn't even know Calstate had gone and done this. Still though, classic cuts and If you can get it for around retail it's well worth a listen. Shame about the proceeds not goin to the artists though..
What's really cheeky about that D.P.H. though, is that not all the beats are Bumpin T.. There's 4 or so Mike D from C.O.P.S. beats in there.
