Sway & Tech - Wake up Show Unreleased Project (CD)



Sway & King Tech's Wake Up Show Unreleased Project is a compilation of rare tracks by Noggin' Nodder, Chino XL, Steve Def, & The Bums and it has King Tech remixes of D'Angelo, Rakim, & The Pharcyde. The last track on the album is possibly the greatest radio promo of all-time, the 1994 Wake Up Show Anthem with Nas, Organized Konfusion, Ras Kass, Saafir, Shyheim, Dred Scott, & Lauryn Hill. Noggin' Nodder is now known as Motion Man.. the track Bounce is a real banger! That Ice Cube sample is crazy and so is the beat produced by Kut Masta Kurt! The rest is fully produced King Tech. I always thought this was a vinyl only release so I was really surprised when I found this cd! A great pickup!

    Very nice, dope! Thanx! I agree w/you about the Motion Man track.

    As for the promo, I respectfully pit my taste against yours (an exercise in futility). It's great, no doubt, but the greatest promo ever? Even limiting ourselves to talking about Wake Up Show promos, I respectfully disagree. Check out this link:

    OK -- it's killing me. Can anyone identify who that is on the "Wake Up Show Anthem" between Shyheim and Saafir? Guy's totally generic sounding and doesn't seem to be referenced or properly identified anywhere on The Google.

    @aleph: Since we both taped back in the days, then we're both aware of many, many great great radio promos from back then.
    But this is even ONE of my favorites of all time.
    The beat's just perfect. The guests, unbelievable.
    But you're right, there are indeed some other awesome promos out there.
