Transferred it to digital and put it up for your listening pleasure. The 90's New York mixtape scene was too ill.
Here's a great article on S&S and the 90's mixtape culture over on NahRight: <a href="http://nahright.com/news/mixtape-memories-with-dj-sns/">http://nahright.com/news/mixtape-memories-with-dj-sns/ </a> The story of S&S stealing the DAT for Nas' unreleased Understanding song out of Faith Newman's office is CLASSIC.

This enigmatic rapper linked up with The Breaks in 2008 to release his
debut self-titled album. Bending styles, he creates alternative rap
masterpieces that fuse elements of rock, folk, and old-school hip hop.
As soon as he linked up with The Breaks to record his debut album he
disappeared into obscurity.<br />
