"West Up", {The Nonce Edition}


Before I get into this piece I have to say R.I.P. "Yusef Afloat".......It seems just like yesterday when I got the horrible news.........But the thing that makes it even worse, is that "Yusef" didn't truly get the props he deserved....................The Nonce didn't sound like any other crew out there......Their sound was heavy on the bass, jazzy, abstract, funky, etc.......It's hard to describe them because they were so unique......."Nouka Bass Type", has carried on with his musical endeavors since Yusef's untimely passing......And he sounds better than ever................In 1992 The Nonce put out a test press of "MixTapes", on the flip there is a joint that wasn't on the album called "Crew Jam"......It's extremely rare, and under the radar.........Peep.....
