^haha...I heard tata is a snitch these days....
...but anyways...TLOD was the first to some out from Dago, but they are and were straight garbage. Aztec Tribe was next, but they was garbage, too. Not to hate or diss too much, but its the truth. Gangsta Ern and Green Eyes was up next, and some of their shit was pretty nice. To me, Ern really brought a "hype" of sorts (even moreso after his death) because his shit had energy and you knew he had done what he was speakin about.
...next was Gelo(Niggas Gettin Irie) and a cat named Manassa (Ragsdales Rich) who were both produced by Steve Vicious, and these releases really highlighted the idea that cats from Dago could blow up........why? The quality of the rhymes and music were sooo nice and the tape covers and shit really produced a semi-professional package that seemed marketable...
