Outsidaz – “Keep On (DJ Miz Mix?)“
from DJ Miz’s The Illadelph Project (Knock Solid, 2000)
Pacewon, Bizzare & Eminem – “Take The World“
unreleased (1998?)

Two lost tracks from my favorite North Jersey crew.

First up is an alternate mix of “Keep On.” It’s a showcase for what I would consider the group’s core – Rah Digga, Young Zee and Pacewon. Not quite as grimey as the original demo mix, but also not as horribly polished as the Rockwilder mix that ended up on the maligned The Bricks LP. All three rappers switch up their verses some, I think I’m partial to Digga who’s climbing more scales than Outward Bound. (Miz mix grabbed via philaflava. If you don’t know who Miz is do the knowledge)

Then we got an old demo joint from Pace and the Detroit branch of the Outz. ‘Nuff said.

For more details, check the week of Outsidaz features that I ran here a few years back. I’ve even reupped a bunch of those mp3s (and then some – the entire five song demo and Zee’s full length Musical Meltdown) to Megaupload in a zip file.

I really wish these guys were still around today. Rap could use some ignorant ass punchline clowns to counter all the homo thug and pofaced headwrap posturing (though maybe the equally anticipated return of their Brick City brethren will deliver).
