Myschief - Anticipation - 1995
12" - 1995 - Epic
Today let's talk about Myschief and his track named "Anticipation" released on the Epic Street Summer Jams sampler in 1995. Best song of the promo sampler, to me it is considered as a classic and has been on heavy rotation for a long time, but unfortunately it was his first and only song released officially.
Dontique Mangual a.k.a Myschief was a Brooklyn based Hip-Hop artist, born in Bushwick and raised in Brownsville.

Myschief : "I changed my name to myschief in 94 because I couldn't use my tag name at the time (k-oz). We recorded a demo album and got a deal with Epic Records. Me, Roey Shamir, Angela Piva, Lord Jamar, Brice Wilson and Dj Skeam Beats all did tracks but when It was time to make new records for the actual album everyone thought their demo songs were good enough, not understanding the label wanted more songs to pick from so it never came out... I have a few songs on DAT tape somewhere but only two I would listen to now ... I was 14 at the time so my knowledge of the world and how to express myself had a limit.

Myschief : "I picked the samples for 'Anticipation' and Roey Shamir programmed the beat on the MPC witch made me want to learn how to program and still produce till this day, using some of the tricks him and Lord jamar showed me. The sample comes from a Miles Davis joint for the chiming sounds and the drums from the Biggie and Meth song 'The What' ".
The wax is pretty cheap and can be find easily, but this track is definitely the reason you should have it in your record collection.
Today Myschief is still an active artist and is known under the name of Dontique, member of the group BMR.
Myschief :" We had a 3 man group called UN3 (United Nations), composed of Sire (RIP), Constant Flow and Me. But our brother Sire passed away so we renamed it BMR (Billion Man Rebellion). Me and CF still rock every and anywhere possible cuz the hunger don't die when your always writing and creating..."
Mad Props to Dontique Mangual.

The Mischievous LQ and The Mad Mischief Crew
Wilmington, Delaware was the place where was formed the indie Hip-Hop group called The Mischievous LQ and The Mad Mischief Crew in 1996.
The core member of the group was Terrance L. Bradshaw the smooth assassin a.k.a the mischievous LQ a.k.a Iller Nizer T9ner. The other members of the crew were Mr. Chill, Ra Dodge, Skip Diesel, the Phantom, Naughty and Slim The Warrior. All these cats weren't from the same neighborhood but were hand-picked from each side of the first city first state Wilmington Delaware 302 by the mischievous LQ himself.
In 1996 , they dropped their first single "Mischief Night" on vinyl and tape on King Poet Records. This record is considered as a classic nowadays. The cassette single is a little bit different from the 12" with two more tracks on it, named "Live" and "Criminal Tactics".
1996 - King Poet Records
A promo album called "Nonsense: Volume One" composed of 15 tracks was pressed on CD as well in 1998, but only few copies exist and are really hard to find.
CD - 1998 - King Poet Records
LQ : "Basically we wanted an international ring, a worldwide Buzz so we all passed out the CD, the wax and the tapes. Basically I'm from the attic and the basement era and we didn't have a major, just independent. I was VP and co-owner of King Poet Records under Dennis Flowers a.k.a Godfather who was co-owner and president. But Dennis Flowers passed away in '99 and the ship sunk cuz of his family..."
Most of this stuff was reissued by the great record label from Milwaukee (WI), Dope Folks Records in 2013.
Props to Terrance L. Bradshaw and big thanks to Neil Andrew for the tape cover scan.

Unsigned Hype : Systahood
I was recently in contact with Kandi Kain, member of the well-known group Systahood with DJ Twista, and asked her if she could upload the demos they were talking about in the Unsigned Hype section of the Source magazine of September 1995.
So here are the 3 demos, all produced by Mufi for DieHard Productions, the excellent track "Woman 2 Woman" featuring Sah-B, "Enjoy Yourself" and "Sh#@ Just Happens".
Kandi Kain :"Sah-B and Kandi Kain link up to show how the Brick City and Illtown femme spitters can ignite a fire track. This was actually the foundation of a friendship that has spanned over two decades and have built a strong organization of girls and young women to take control of their destiny."
Kandi Kain : "As soon as Mufi let me hear this beat I instantly fell in love with it! It was four beats per minute ahead of its time and everybody wanted that track. But I put my dibs on it and everybody was curious as to what I would, or should I say, "could" do with it. Especially being the new chick "from up the hill" coming down the hill to rock on a 18th Street track. Well I just did what I do......"
Kandi Kain : "After hundreds of hours of perfecting my Illtown flow in the basement of Godfather Dee I was ready to step out on my own. I enlisted the production skills of Mufi from Die Hard Productions. This was one of the first songs I wrote, solely and wholly, about the criminalistics chronicles of a young woman trying to find herself in the concrete jungle. Learning the ropes of the streets from the most unethical sources. But how else could a gangsta b*%ch survive?"
In 2008 Kandi Kain wrote a book called "Hip Hop Holla-Backs: Systahood Edition".
Today, she's still active and works for H3B Radio .
Big thanks to Kandi Kain !
