More Ounce (rap)/Amherst, 1980. Very Good+ ... $9.99
An obscure single taking off from a groove borrowed loosely off Zapp's "More Bounce To The Ounce" and adding a sort of quasi-rap vocal over top, that sounds more like George Clinton type vocalese than any sort of hip hop. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Yellow label pressing.)

(Silver label pressing.)
Rhymesayers, 2004. Very Good+ ... $1.99
Tougher, angrier stuff than we remember from the Shadows On The Sun LP – with the usual strong production from the Ant, approximating rock and roll breaks and mood as well as anyone since earlier Cypress Hill. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(In a plain sleeve.)
KJAC, 1999. Very Good (pic cover)... $1.99
We never tire of the Bumpy Knuckles/Freddie Foxx in your face battle style, and it seems like Pete Rock turns in some more pumped up beats than usual for Bumpy to ride. The b-side, produced by Alchemist is no slouch either. 12-inch, Vinyl record

Long before the KRS/Shan battles, D.ST. was claiming "Bronx is the home of hip hop" on this track. It almost has an early Whodini sound, with more MC'ing, vocoder effects, and a live rhythm section than his other dj oriented tracks like "Mega Mix 2." 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has an index label.)
D ST —
