This time, we talk about the first singles and the impact it made on the Boston scene – and discuss the shows and videos that the trio took care of along the way.

| DWG website and forum: downtime |
|
We're doing some reshuffling behind the scenes this week and moving a few bits around on our servers.
As a result of this, the site will be offline at various points over the next few days. Sorry for any inconvenience - but we shall be back ASAP. Keep an eye on our DWG Twitter account for latest updates! |

| J-Live 'The Best Part' |
|
An album that tends to be forgotten these days, J-Live's debut rose above the politics and label shenanigans that stopped it coming out back in '97.
Dip back into your crates, stick the needle on the record and take a trip back to '99 with us as we dissect 'The Best Part'. DWG would also like to pay our respects to one of the greatest characters in hip-hop. RAMMΣLLZΣΣ R.I.P. |

If you slept on that one, it might be worth trying to find yo'self a copy before it's totally disappeared. |

| It's all about YOU! |

Adam pulls an '87 gem from the crates today: Cut King's 'Why It Gotta Happen To Me' 12", on a Warlock subsidiary label.
It sounds like the b-side cut is the one to check on this piece... Drew's reviewed the new Roc Marciano 'Marcberg' album for us, so head back over here to read that one in the next couple of days. |

| Reviews we manifest... |
|
The Rhyme Traveler, Dudley J gets loose on one of the earlier Gang Starr 12"s tonight - and it's another corker. Just how many incredible records did Guru and Primo manage to put out as a duo?
Have a read of 'Words I Manifest' and reacquaint yourself with the Gang Starr greatness. |

| You Know Our Steez! |

Werner gives a little personal insight into why he picked Gang Starr's 'You Know My Steez' 12" as his submission to our week of Gang Starr reviews.
The Rhyme Traveler has laced us with something too, so watch for that shortly! |

| Tongue of Superman |
|
Today, I've dug a little deeper and pulled out something of slightly dubious pressing, but with some dope Guru and Primo goodness within.
Check it out! There's a freshly-prepared review from Werner sitting in my in-tray this morning too, so watch for that to go up in the next 24 hours... |

| It's a daily operation... |
|
It was supposed to be Gang Starr singles week for us this week (see below), but I'm afraid I couldn't resist and just had to write about 'Daily Operation' today! An incredible record, even 20 years down the line. I hope some of you enjoy reading the review and maybe feel inspired to pull the album out for a spin.
Without fueling the fire, anyone wanting to keep up with things in regards to Guru's recent passing and the shady background facts that are appearing can do so here: www.fucksolar.com. R.I.P. Guru. |

| Mass Appeal |
|
One of the most-loved of the mid-'90s Gang Starr 12"s gets reviewed by Adam today.
Stick on the record, have a read and remember why Keith-E and Primo were an unbeatable combination. More Gang Starr reviews to follow... and we've updated the chart over there on the right as well! |
