INSANE & D-MACK's Released in late 1995 by In It Fo Da Money Records

 

14 years ago, back in 1996 Hip Hop Slam was in the midst of producing the “Pirate Fuckin Radio” show – a 100 part underground, micro-broadcast radio series that was heard on such stations as Free Radio Berkeley, SF Liberation Radio, Free Radio Santa Cruz, KBUD Mendicino, 89.1FM Seattle, Flavor 919, and 909 The Bomb in Miami. Not surprisingly the focus was on Bay Area hip-hop of all styles. Here is the chart from almost exactly 14 years ago – from the week ending February 27, 1996 which included such releases as (in the #39 slot) the cassette full-length pictured above – by Insane & D-Mack “Lookin’ Fo Da DOPEMAN” which was released in late ‘95 on Fresno indie rap label In It Fo Da Money Records.
