Pos’s description:

Well, in my attempt of collecting everything columbus related, this cd came into my collection soon after it hit the streets. Not sure of the year but I would have to say it was in ’03 or ’04 when this was released.
Nicotime held most of the production on the comp. Meta4ce produced tracks 4 & 7. Furious styles prodcued tracks 5, 8, and 16. mixed by daniel and nicotime.
What makes this cd so great is all the appearances which range from people that don’t rap, rappers alter-egos, people that use to be cool and then found out they weren’t, and people that rapped that was hanging out while a song was being recorded.
Really wasn’t a serious release. I mean anything with wes rapping on it is either worth a good listen or it’s a classic. Those are your only 2 categories it can go into. If you like bagface5 or powerbar, you will like this. It’s alot of remixes of songs previously released with BSA’s added flavor.
so take it for what it is. the recording/mix downs are pretty rough but it’s fun to listen to.

(BSA is a graffiti crew I started in 1994. It has had zillion different eras, groupings and outputs. It was also the name of a building I lived in for awhile the burberry shire armes. hence the name of the tape.)
cover was done by Dan Mcmahon. He did the Soul Position cover for 8 Million Stories and used to lay out a zine I put out called Broken Halo.
i’m on three songs and this tape shows its good i never pursued rapping.
