We were honored when we were approached to master this project;
considering we are longtime fans of Citizen Kane. Thanks to TopLeft Recordings,
and especially to Citizen Kane for deciding to release this and to let
people hear these timeless songs. Below is the official write up for the
project as well as the download, and twitter links. Turn up the volume and enjoy.
""Scartown Unreleased Classics" is a collection of songs we recorded from the years 2001 to 2005 which was never released. At that time when Citizen Kane
was on the verge on making a major impact in the underground Hip Hop
community world wide, but we were confronted with obstacles from the
music industry that believed we were a little to “Street” and not
friendly enough for Canadian radio. Refusing to follow the commercial
sound that was becoming more popular at the time, we recorded melodic
tracks with hard but poetic lyrics staying true the griddy style of
music that made Citizen Kane unique. There is two albums worth of material in this album which is mixed by D.J. Law and appearances from Peep Sho, Califaith, Stitch 7 and many more artists we were working with at the time. The production is from Big Sproxx, Down to Earth, Product, Dungenetics and Lost Info. There are also tracks that include R.P.
who left the group at that time for personal reasons never to return
putting the music on hold for a good time. If ya love Hip Hop in its
purest and realest form, you will love this album. It is a piece of
Canadian music history from a group that laid the foundation for
Canadian Hip Hop today. This is the album they never wanted you to hear.
