Remembering the Groove Merchants (Underrated boom bap prod)

[SoulController]

The Lost Tapes: [Comp] GROOVE MERCHANTZ - "Double Grooves Vol. 1"

really nice tribute to 2 guys that get lost in the shuffle as years go on. Ghetto Pros and Don were so dope, if the GP compilation album had a chance to drop on Rawkus i think it would have really expanded their profile. Mike Heron is Slaughterhouse's manager now, he was always a behind the scenes guy but i miss Don and V.I.C.

yea unkut.com actually had an interview up with the founder a few weeks ago. interesting label, i think it all instrumentals and 12 inches

Don is probably the most underrated cat from NY ever, i think his stuff holds up incredibly well. technical monster and very ill producer

I used to know Jerry the owner. They had Blaq Poet/Screwball I recall.

"My family's Hydra but we smoke hydro"

VIC was dope, I thought he would get more placements after Flamboyant blew up a little. Thanks for the drop!

EDIT: Just realized Heron got the credit for that track.
