Following on from the Ghettolandz release last month we have the Izniz produced “The Madness” project. We have 5 never released/never heard joints plus one from “that” 12″ that most people “didn’t get”. NUFF SAID…
Here is how Izniz remembers The Madness and how it fit into the crew’s history:
“We all are basically from the same area of New Jersey. I’m from Tinton Falls NJ, I God, I Right, Shyheed and Original Blackman are from Red Bank NJ and Naji is from Fair Haven NJ. All three towns are next to each other and I knew the others from round the way. Before “The Madness” project I did a few tracks with a group I God was in called “New Born Sons”. I used to hang out with Original Blackman here and there through mutual friends. Before we even did tracks I always heard he could rhyme but I never asked him to spit and he never asked me for beats. First time I ever heard or seen Original Blackman rhyme was when we recorded “Imagine This”. I gave out the track to Naji, I God, I Right and Shyheed and I can’t remember who said it to me, but I heard Original Blackman got a verse for this beat. I was with it because this would be my first time hearing him spit- so that was fresh. We also did a solo album after “The Madness” went their separate ways. The first time I ever worked with I Right was on “So Many Sucka’s” and first time with Shyheed was “Strictly Madness”. Naji I was already doing work with before we became the Ghettlandz, we was in a group named “No Alternative”, I was his DJ before I was the producer”. Peep it….
