Sandinistas – Madd Luv EP (CD) (2020) (FLAC + 320 kbps)
Sandinistas consisted of 2 MC’s, Devine and Lon. They came up in the Cobble Hill area of Brooklyn NY. A photographer friend of Carlos’ called Danny Castro hired the 2 to be his photo assistants. During one photo job Danny happened to hear the 2 cats rap and off the back of that encounter decided to fund and exec-produce a project featuring the ‘group’. He called in famed and much-experienced Hip Hop producer Bess and his C-12 team, to produce a single and according to Bess 1000 copies were pressed (as usual, i highly doubt it was more than 500 – unless – as is my usual conjecture, some were lost, burned or Harry-Houdini’d the f*ck away). Most copies were sold to individuals, friends and friends of the family and nothing came of it. They did a few shows after the drop and that was it – another dope, defunct Hip Hop act. All that’s left is a crazy rare 12″ and now this re-mastered repress of the 3 original tracks with 3 unheard joints and 2 bonus instrumentals. And that’s it!!! Ha – But what’s not IT is the end of our newfound relationship with one of the most underrated artists to come out of Hip hop music. This is just the first part of an archiving of Carlos Bess’ lost material.
