O.G.C. or the Originoo Gunn Clappaz are a trio from Brooklyn, New York consisting of Louieville Sluggah, Starang Wondah & High Canine. Their 1996 debut Da Storm is broadly regarded was one of many biggest albums Duck Down Music Inc. has ever put out though their 2nd & to this point last full-length The MPire Shrikez Again was extra reasonably acquired. 3 many years later & the Boot Camp Clik subunit who additionally shaped The Fab 5 with Heltah Skeltah are lastly returning to drop off a 3-pack in celebration of their debut’s anniversary.

“I Don’t Want You” kicks issues off with a dusty 3 & a half minute intro with some sampling chops speaking about being profitable independently whereas “Make Peace” instrumentally embraces a growth bap vibe advising all low finances muhfuckas to sit down down. The nearer “Nonetheless Starang” produced by Rockwilder finishes the EP with my favourite monitor right here, spending the ultimate moments of 3:30 wanting again at their careers going from touring the world to kicking it with Joey Bada$$.

Wasn’t anticipating O.G.C. to coincide Buckshot’s self-produced third album The Payback dropping earlier immediately & regardless of having to choose the latter for being the very best of the two, I nonetheless assume 3:30 makes for a mean return for the Gunn Clappaz though I’d undoubtedly say it’s higher than The MPire Shrikez Again. All 3 members haven’t misplaced a step by way of lyricism or chemistry, however I want the manufacturing stood out extra equally to the outro since each of Francis McCracken’s contributions had been merely satisfactory as compared.
