Cella Dwellas - Good Dwellas.

I remember listening to this on power 99 the night it was on.

interesting ... I've never even heard of them before...

ill. wish he freestyled longer.

when that "Glacier of Ice" track came on ... I was like oh snap ...

 

[Votti]

i love how it was damn near mandatory for rappers to drop a freestyle in an interview back in the days. really added to the entertainment value

nowadays you just have these artists speaking on their personal lives, etc, on some real self indulgent shyt.. ain't nobody trying to hear that bs

Anyone know that instrumental that came up towards the end?

One of my favorite beats, sh*t is cold. When I hear the piano key and violin I get chills

Good looks, I knew it sounded familiar. Wu was getting mad love on Philly radio

 

[Awesome Wells]

Cella Dwellas had some of the dopest production back in the mid-90's. Nick Wiz was blessin' them crazy! I was like the only cat that I knew that dug them back then. LOL!!

Classic Hov freestyle. This cat was so personable lyrically back then.

And RZA was the GOAT producer in '95. Easily.
