Just found these 2 tapes online which had some QIK produced joints on em. Below are the d/l links for both. Pretty straight forward d/l the tapes and turn up the volume.
So we start June off with FenaxiZ's White Man's Burden ft Joshua
Lopez (Jlatte). FenaxiZ has been putting in mad work releasing at least a video a month since Jan 2012 all leading up to the release of his full length release titled "Vintage". Not only has he been pushing himself but also doing work within his group Team Us which will also be releasing a project in the later part of the year; keep an eye out. Big thanks to Joshua Lopez for his work on the guitar track and to Minerva Group with the great work on the vid. Below is the official write up followed by all necessary links for those involved.
"Every June 12, Filipinos across the globe commemorate their
homeland’s declaration of independence from Spanish occupation in 1898.
Amidst the lumpia, tinikling dances, and street parades, FenaxiZ humbly entreats his kasamas worldwide to pause for a moment of
reflection and acknowledge a past mired with bloodshed, subjugation, and
resistance.
Borrowing its title from the Rudyard Kipling poem about the
Filipino-American war, “White Man’s Burden” is a critical analysis of
the widespread effects that imperialism has wreaked upon a 7000-island
archipelago once known as “The Pearl Of The Orient.” From a Labour
Export Policy that seperates parents from children to the internalized
racism that fuels identity issues of the youth, FenaxiZ covers many
pressing issues that today’s Filipinos face; yet, he is also aware of
the incomplete picture he paints as he muses, “and this rap ain’t even
scratching the surface of our collective experience.”
The song was produced by The Quarter Inch Kings and features Joshua
“JLatte” Lopez on guitar. The video was directed and edited by Minerva Group. More info about the video’s inspiration after the jump… along with the video itself, of course!"

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.
– Citizen Kane "
