LISTEN TO THE SNIPPETS HERE
 
 
Wow this is SOME unheard/unknown/unreleased 90’s project. Mind blowing material, for reel. Following on from our Big Sha EP [1994] from earlier on this year, we have the Food of the Gods aka Zig Zag Zig – That was Then…This Is Now 1992-1996 EP. Incredible material from this QU crew steeped in that 5%-er 90’s flava. Reminiscent of the Zig Zag EPs we dropped [no ish!] this is a must for fanz of big old jazz b-lines and righteous lyric!

When did you start recording?
We started recording our demos during the mid and late 80s to the early 90s with our studio engineer  Bryan in his recording studio in Astoria Queens NY – we recorded many tracks every weekend and I would compose and create all the beats and tracks on the spot while writing our blueprints.
 
Were you pushing a demo back in the days?
4- We pushed all our demos and had meetings with Atlantic records, Interscope records, Mercury records, Jive records and Elektra records and came close to close to closing a album deal with Elektra records and more..
The only deal we closed is with Big Sha at Kult records
 
How did you guys split/wind out?
Due to life circumstances our priorities changed and we were no longer able to focus solely on our music ..due to all of us have children and family, so me as Anchor I stuck with it once I got a production deal at Universal music group in the Latin America department – that led to my career which is still rockin today!!
