Get Large Recordz Presents - Live From New York



For more than a few years now there has been a surprising trend taking place in NYC's Hardcore and underground Hip-Hop scene. That trend would be the emergence of european producers that dominate, well, actually take a watery shit, on most of the native New Yorkers that currently are doin the production thing. Don't take my word for it though...check out The Spanish duo Cookin' Soul, Finland's Kollabo Brothers, Tommy Tee from Norway, Cilvarings and Mod the Black Marvel from the Netherlands and so many others...it's funny but in all actuality the New York City Hip-Hop scene is going through what the NBA is going through; they both have a huge influx of very fundamentally talented european cats in their respective professions coming in and wrecking shop somethin' serious. Although there's many of them, personally I would have to put the French duo Get Large at the top of the euro-production pack, and trust me, that's some serious fuckin' praise. Made up of Dams and SLA, the two have chosen to collaborate with only the east coast's best, brightest and gulliest. Their collaboration list reads like an up and coming hardcore producer's dream; Tragedy Khadafi, Styles P, Royal Flush, Killa Sha, Sunz Of Man, Ali Vegas, Lakey Da Kid, The Diplomats, Hell Razah, Masta Ace, Grafh, F.T. and many others have all graced Get Large beats and as a fan I gotta say I never have been disappointed. If you haven't heard what these guys can do, you've been cheating yourself, especially if you like thumpng, perfectly EQ'd kick drums, great soul samples and hi-hats that thrust a beat along magnificently. I really appreciate their love for sampling Charles Aznavour records, they've flipped some of his stuff so creatively, it's really interesting when you hear the original piece of music before they flipped it. They seem to be making some mainstream connections as of late, and while I certainly am glad that they're getting paid, I don't think i'd check for their work with Pitbull or Khaled...I'm too used to them making my ideal kind of hip-hop. If I had to sum up their style I would say, in all sincerity that they are the Heatmakerz crossed with Alchemist. I shit you not. Their stuff is somewhat harder to come by, but if you do wanna search be sure to look for "Le Prelude hosted by Grafh", "The Battlefield sreet album hosted by Cory Gunz and Sacario", "La Mixtape street album hosted by Masta Ace" and "Please...Believe It the album". Til' you do find tose gems I'mma hit you off with somethin real nice. Apparently Dams and SLA put out a street DVD called "Live from New York" (and I'mma find a way to get my hands on that as well) and lucky us, they put out a soundtrack for it. If you've read what I had to say about them up to this point you should already know what's goin' down on this joint here. There's some new stuff, some old stuff and some stuff that shoulden't be ignored on this, enjoy!
