BOOM BAP MEMORIES (Album) [Stream + Download]

LISTEN: BOOM-BAP MEMORIES: 18 raw, dust-covered vinyl soul and concrete-cracking drums. Straight from Brooklyn and Staten Island, Dezo brings back the feeling when tapes popped in boomboxes and cyphers on the block or in the lunchroom.   The album kicks off with “RETURN”—a beat so official, Billy Danze of M.O.P. had to scoop it for his own record. From there, it’s a ride through gritty Staten Island (“FEDUS”) to adrenaline-laced street fire like “Slate Rider”, which even had Lil Fame of M.O.P rocking it live before blessing another Dezo creation “SHIZZAR” (to be released).  Heavy sample chops, head-nod basslines, and the kind of beats you crank loud enough for the neighbors to feel. Every track sounds like it could’ve been blasted on Stretch & Bobbito back in ’94, yet still slaps today like it’s built for corner speakers and late-night rides.  If you miss that era where beats knocked, rhymes cut sharp, and the streets decided what was hot—BOOM-BAP MEMORIES is your reminder.
