Nick Wiz – Cellar Sounds Volume 2: 1992-1998 (2xCD) (2011) (FLAC + 320 kbps)

Once again Hip-Hop mainstay and underground veteran, Nick Wiz, shares his vast catalog of both rare and unreleased productions. Wiz first impacted the early 90’s Hip-Hop scene with his beat contributions to Ecko Unlimited’s “Underground Airplay” cassette series and The Cella Dwellas’ classic “Realms and Reality” album. From there his unique fusion of filters, horns, smacking SP-1200 drums and dense bass-lines were soon heard on projects from Mad Skillz, Darc Mind, Chubb Rock, Chino XL, Rakim and others. With this influx of production work coming his way, Nick’s New Jersey studio, appropriately named “The Cellar”, was constantly flooded with both Hip-Hop’s elite talent and the best of the 90’s underground scene as well. While a lot of the material produced and recorded by Wiz found its way to full-length CD releases, countless other tracks were unreleased, relegated to vinyl bootlegs / 12″ only versions, or cassette only. In 2008, No Sleep Recordings finally got Nick Wiz to pull out his original DAT tapes and un-vault forty-four gems! “Cellar Sounds” Vol.1 succeeded in exciting underground heads everywhere; many of whom had long been searching to own these tracks in CD quality. Of course, Volume 1 naturally created a demand for a follow-up, and now in 2011, we proudly present Volume 2! Digging even deeper, Nick compiled forty-one additional vintage recordings, the majority of which have never been released! Spanning from Wiz’s early recordings in 1992 to his zenith in 1998, this is a true time-capsule of the Nineties underground Hip-Hop sound; presented in perfect digital quality! Part four of the “For Those That Slept” series.
