On the strength of his work with De La Soul, Gravediggaz, Breeze Brewin and Horror City, I rank Prince Paul as the greatest producer of all time ... yes, even above DJ Premier. That's just how I feel. So you can understand why, when I saw there was a new Prince Paul project out featuring unreleased songs with Breeze Brewin, RZA, and De La Soul — not to mention Long Island Rap favorites Truth Enola and Bumpy Knuckles — I shit on myself. A couple days have passed, I've tossed my doo-doo pants, and now I'm prepared to share this brown-note magic with you (it's a thing; look it up). Stream the single-track mix below. Download it in four parts via Bandcamp. Click thru to Soundcloud for the tracklist.

PMP - Raw Uncut
You can probably tell from the tags on this site alone that the early/mid-00s weren't exactly the most fertile period for Long Island hip-hop. One MC who did come into his own at this time, though he never really got his just due, was Port Knox representative Truth Enola aka Pounds Mayor. During the aughts, he released two solo albums on the label Solid Records, as well as a number of singles,In 2006, Truth Enola teamed with DJ Cross Phada to form the duo PMP. They put out an album called Raw Uncut on Red Diamond Global, Truth's own Garden City-based enterprise which doesn't appear to have released anything else before or since. There also don't appear to have been any singles, videos or other promotional materials issued (other than the now-archived website), however, the album itself can still be downloaded for $9.99 via CD Baby and streamed via YouTube.
