Tim Dog "Suckers Never Play Me & It's My Time"

THE TIM DOG JOINT IS IN STOCK AND READY TO BLAST OUT!!

ULTRA 7EVEN BP702 SATURDAY APRIL 18TH 2015 RECORD STORE DAY HOLY GRAIL RELEASE!!

TR LOVE'S 45 SERIES - TIM DOG OUT 18.04.2015 RECORD STORE DAY from pritt on Vimeo.

Flashback to 1990 and UltraMagnetic MC'S are back in the Bronx after an incredible show at Brixton Academy in London, U.K. where they introduced there newest member Timothy Tim Dog Blair to the die hard cult European audience. Tim Dog's mega buzz from his opening debut verse on Ultra's "A Chorus Line" put him on the A&R radar from everyone from Def Jam's Russell Simmons, Andre Harrell at Uptown to Chris Swartz at Ruff House.

Tim Dog's hunger to prove he was more then just one verse landed him and "producer of the year" Ced-Gee and T.R. Love "The Ultra-lab technician" back in the Ultra-lab studio to record Tim's demo. This demo not only secured the
"hardcore Master's" record deal but it show cased the dynamic Fuck Compton which eventually gave the west coast a super kick in the ass and ignited the legendary east coast vs west coast hip hop war!!

This obscure demo also housed two very dope innovative tracks, "Suckers Never Play Me" and "It's My Time"!! These two butters are the latest Black Pegasus' Ultra 7 release, BP702. In classic golden era fashion the masters of the SP 1200 Ced-Gee and T.R. come with uptempo break beats topped with saucey groove chops and a pinch of hardcore cuts and scratches courtesy of DJ I-Roc and T.R. Love. "Suckers Never Play Me" a revved up fast song that borrows a quote from Chuck D. Of Public Enemy for the chorus, while Tim Dog spits braggadocio triple cadence metaphor letting wack MC's know he can't be fucked with! The flip side "It's My Time" uses the park jam break beat "Assembly Line" by the Commodores finds Tim Dog slaying his lyrical competition as well dropping positive life lesson jewels!!

This 300 copy limited edition, orange vinyl 7inch release is by far Black Pegasus best release to date!! The real Tim Dog and Ultramagnetic heads now have another classic to add to the crates! Tim Dog may be gone in the physical but his musical catalog is immortal!!

SHIPPING DATE IN 3 1/2 WEEKS FROM MONDAY APRIL 20TH

MIKA SNICKARS KONG DISCO EP BP07

MARC DAVIS AND HIS LABEL BLACK PEGASUS CHANGES CHANNELS FOR IT'S LATEST VINYL RELEASE. BP701 IS NOT A HOLY GRAIL HIP HOP GEM BUT RATHER AN OBSCURE DISCO FUNK MONSTER!!!
TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THIS RELEASE YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE STORY THAT ACOMPANIES THIS RECORD.

THE STORY DOESN'T BEGIN IN CHICAGO, NEW YORK OR EVEN THE UNITED STATES. IT BEGINS IN SCANDINAVIA, EUROPE, MORE SPECIFICALLY STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN.

Stockholm, the city known for great Swedish meatballs, beautiful women, classic architecture and Mika Snickars!! Mika Snickars, the all star vinyl collector, DMC Champion, producer, re-editing king and owner of Snickars Records vinyl shop!! For years Mika has been selling vinyl records of hip hop, disco, rare groove, break beats, jazz fusion, techno, and house to mostly everyone who is a player in the vinyl music game. He has sold records to everyone from Biz Markie, DJ Harvey, Cut Chemist & DJ Numark (Jurassic 5), DJ Shadow, Daniel Wang, Danny Krivit, Theo Parrish, and Sadar Bahar to name a few.

Mika's humbleness and DJ skills speaks volumes throughout Sweden, Scandinavia and to vinyl collectors world wide.
In 2010 Mika was digging for records in the Reykjavik,Iceland and discovered two very dusted, rare Styrene 7 inch acetates. They both hadn't been played very much and weren't dance floor friendly and still had an audio life line before they were to become some ones drink coasters.

Mika took them home to his lab and flipped two re-edits smoother then rice and beans!! His old school tape cut and paste takes it to the Walter Gibbons days when DJ's tested there rare mixes directly on the dance floors! Testing it for the dance floors is what Mika sought out to do by pressing up three acetates at Timmion's studio in Helsinki Finland.

These three acetates gained a cult audience buzz amongst underground disco and rare groove collectors, DJ's and non wall flower people on the dance floor!! It became an anthem at Stockholm's underground disco & House party the LightHouse by resident DJ, Julian Wareing.

In 2012 while Black Pegasus' Marc Davis was on a DJ tour in Stockholm, Mika played the acetate for him and they decided to release it on the Black Pegasus imprint when the time was correct.

In the summer of this year; 2014, four white label test presses had been pressed up of the Kong Disco EP and one copy given to Chicago legend Sadar Bahar for his European/Japanese tour.

In July 2014 Sadar debuted the Kong Disco track at Giles Peterson's incredible World Wide Festival in Sete, France in front of more then 10,000 lovers of great music!! You can see the organic energy from the dancers hearing the hypnotic piano soul grove track and
you realize this tune is something special!! From Sete France to Osaka Japan Sadar continued playing "Kong Disco" and the B-side Disco Monster "What Goes Around" and emails continued to pour in from disco nerds, DJ's and record shop buyers about when is the record officially dropping and when can they purchase!!

Well Here it is the official yellow vinyl release limited to 200 copies!!

MF 911 - THE RUKUS EP (BP-04)

Mother F*%king emergency , mega force and 911 are the original suggested names given by Public Enemy’s Chuck D to the Detroit hip hop trio known as MF 911.
MF 911 made up of Ant Live, Mainy Main, and Ced Rat are one of the first groups to put the “D” on the map way before the Eminem and Jay dilla era. Their 1993 debut album Idol The Blood Sport was produced by Ced-Gee from UltraMagnetic MC’s on Next Plateau Records. This album is considered a classic. MF 911 thrived on sounding original, hardcore and most importantly kicking lyrical metaphors!! Although they had a classic album underneath their belts, that didn’t stop them from getting caught up in the record industry politics. In 1996 when the group was at the end of recording there second album “The
Rukus” Next Plateau Records was bought out by major label Mercury Records leaving there new album shelved without a home to release it. In 2011 MF 911 and Black Pegasus is proud to announce the licensing of this classic banger!!

Picking up where "Idol The Blood Sport" left off.  The Rukus takes you on a head boppin boom bap trip where hardcore attitude and lyrical competition is truly appreciated.

The Leed off track "Come On" produced by Track Master 30/30 (Wu Tang Clan Fame) is a slow melodic joynt that cruises while Ant Live and Mainy Mane give the fake "gangster rappers" a verbal beating.  The track "last man standing" is a soul groove dropped over the classic impeach the president drums with the crew describing the struggle to maintain in Detroit.  The self titled "The Rukus" showcases Mainy Mane on the solo tip rhyming over a gritty boom bap track with a dusted Method Man sample for the chorus.  "Real live Shit" is the street anthem with the hypnotic hook from the Group Home's "Super Star" adding the flavor with rugged video to accompany it.

As whole this Ep is rated A Plus for any hip hop lover of lyrical metaphors and funky head snapping beats!!

A1: Come On
A2: Indian Tents
A3: We Bring The Rukus
A4: Real Live Shit
A5: Last Man Standing
B1: The Burner
B2: 45's & 38's
B3: Fairplay
B4: The Rukus
B5: 1970

FULLY G - THERE SHE GOES AGAIN 12" (BP-03)

During the 1990's in Chicago Hip Hop artists were striving to get signed to major labels but most were over looked. A handful took it upon themselves and pressed up there own records and walked it into the stores and to DJ's to get it heard.

One of the major players to do this was the Bellwood duo,Fully G and his partner and producer Diamond Kut. Fully G's 1995 white label single "There She Goes Again" was an underground smash!! This record was limited to 50 copies but was an athem in Chicago Hip Hop venues such as The Elbow Room and The Spot.

This mid tempo soulful gem with hard drums grabs you as soon as the beat drops! Fully G's lyrical break down of the female species being a "gold digger" paints a graphic picture. The scratch chorus quoting "There she goes again the dopest ethiopian" from Pharcyde's "Passing Me By" puts the icing on the cake!!

The Andy C (All Natural Fame) and Grant Parks remixes both give the original a serious run for the money with two different grooves. There hasn't been such a challenging single since A Tribe's Bonnita Applebum 12 inch.

A1 There She Goes Again (Radio)
A2 There She Goes Again (Street)
A3 There She Goes Again (Andy C Remix)
B1 There She Goes Again (Instrumental)
B2 There She Goes Again (Andy C Remix Instrumental)
B3 There She Goes Again (Grant Parks Remix)

EAST OF THE ROCK - GALAXY RAYS EP (BP-02)

Overlooked by major labels, Chicago hip-hop outfit East of The Rock independently pressed up Galaxy Rays in the 90s. Black Pegasus brings back the EP, which only existed in extremely limited quantities at the time of the initial release (50 copies!!!), and the label provides the world with a rare chance to taste some of the best beats and rhymes to come out of the Windy City. The Mad Thinker, Flux, Mr. V, & DJ Mack Ten combine raw drums, bouncy baselines, and sick samples with thoughtful, smoothly delivered lyrics in songs like "Egyptian Musk(1)" and "Burnout Assassin(2)," and "Mr. Producer(3)," a jazz-funk-influenced track, incorporates a popular Main Source line, "false producers telling lies". Also notable is the title track(4), an unmistakably 90s song featuring a Ultramagnetic MCs sample. Instrumentals included plus a bonus track on the b-side, recommended.

ULTRAMAGNETIC FOUNDATION - ULTRA LABORATORY STORIES (BPLP-01)

All star Hip Hop producers TR Love & DJ Moe Love of the legendary UltraMagnetic MC’s return to the market with a double LP entitled Ultra Laboratory Stories and under a new moniker UltraMagnetic Foundation. These two funk scientist stick to the Critical Beat down formula and keep this album layered with distinctive grooves and hardcore drum programming. Vocal wise, Ultra members, Kool Keith, Ced-Gee, Tim Dog, and TR Love spit fire, while south Bronx new comers, Fred Beanz, Diabolique, and Street Ruckus Mc’s make an impressive debut.
From the soulful piano stabs on Is it them to the funky chops on Throw Your Hands up to the dusted unreleased version of Plucking Cards and to the 2010 chorus line, Mind Games, this album stays consistent and shows you how well produced music makes a hip hop album sound full and complete.

DJ MARC DAVIS/ CEO OF BLACK PEGASUS

Chicago veteran record collector, DJ, producer and owner of independent record label Black Pegasus Music has been involved in the music industry for over two decades. Marc first got his start as an admirer of the DJ culture in the early 80’s listening and watching neighborhood legends Chico Frye, Steve “Silk” Hurley, and Eric “E.T.” Taylor. This gave Marc the confidence to get his own set of turntables and start shopping for records at Imports and Loop Record’s. Marc became a heavyweight in collecting records purchasing soulful disco, electronica, Jazz, rare funk, afro beat, latin and Brazilian records. This is right around the time Marc linked up with child hood friend Dion Wilson pka NO ID (JayZ, Common, Kanye West Fame) and started practicing his DJ skills and getting his first look into music production. No ID schooled Marc in the art of sampling rare grooves and obscure drum breaks.

Since then Marc has been off to the races recording on various record labels such as Robbins Entertainment/BMG (Savior), Oxygen Music Works/Pinacle (Toot Toot), Skint Records/Sony (Toot Toot), Launch Pad/Topplers (I am the One). He has recorded with a slew of artists from Kool Keith (Ultramagnetic/Dr. Octagon fame) to Roz Nash of Groove Collective. His music has been remixed by the likes of Kurtis Mantronix, Ashley Beedle’s Xpress 3, Fat Boy slim, to Albert Cabrera’s Latin Rascals.

As a mobile DJ, Marc has been able to perform gigs both domestically and internationally. He has played in Cities such as Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco, Los Angelos , London, Nottingham, Wales, Birmingham, Dresden, Berlin, Hamburg, Paris, Zurich, Geneva, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Helsinki, Stockholm, Gotenburg, Copenhagen, Oslo, and others.

In 2006 Marc created Black Pegasus record label. Black Pegasus is an eclectic imprint releasing underground hip hop, soulful disco, afro & brazilian beats. The first release was a self produced funky House single Trust In Me/Mechanical Melody. The record was well received in European and USA clubs but because of lack luster distribution the potential was not maximized.

In 2010 Marc closed a worldwide distribution deal with Cross Talk and began releasing underground hip hop through Black Pegasus. The next 4 releases included UltraMagnetic Foundation "Ultra Laboratory Stories LP," East Of The Rock "Galaxy Rays Ep", Fully G "There She Goes Again "single, MF 911 "The Ruckus EP"
