Wow, I had no idea there was tape of this. I was at this show, an album release held at the now-long-since-defunct Leopold’s Records. I think Mystik Journeymen opened. The “Fuck New York” diatribe really sounds crazy now, but back then it was quite serious! As someone going back and forth between the two places I most definitely felt the static.

Anyway, Saafir busts a freestyle, does three tracks off “Boxcar Sessions”, and the rare/unreleased “Killen Kydz”. Peep game…

Thoughts: I’m pretty sure that’s me yelling “yeeeeeaaaaaaaah!” at the beginning of “Battle Drill”. “Just Riden” was always, at its essence, some Town Shit. Saafir is in total control of his voice, his breath and his body; a great performer.
