Trife & D-Mob, straight outta the Bronx and hanging with High Wire Records for a hot minute between 1995 and 1998. Trife was first on the scene, dropping his debut EP “So What?” in 1995, whereas D-Mob was introduced on the duo’s debut – and only – album Gun Town’s Finest, released on vinyl in 1996 and CD in 1997. Following the release of Gun Town’s Finest, D-Mob too went on to record an EP of his own – 1998?s “Hot Dayz”, yet that was pretty much the last of either brother’s hip-hop career.
Gun Town’s Finest is one of hip-hop’s great gems. It’s woefully under-known, yet those lucky enough to have heard it generally laud it with universal critical acclaim. It is a fine slice of mid-90?s New York hip-hop, and the duo in fact reminds me of a better, wittier (and older) Mobb Deep, riding over much more experimental production, courtesy of Tony Sturdivant (another relative unknown). Whilst the lyrics are hard as hell, Trife & D-Mob ain’t afraid to crack a smile every so often, which is what sets them apart from some of their better-known contemporaries.
This is from a DJs' collection in Boston that I just bought! Any questions, give me a shout..thanks for looking...John
