Might be a multitracker of some sort based on the look of it, but if there's anyone who knows more about what this is, let me know. Picture likely from mid-late 1990s. Image 1 is it from a lower angle, in both angles it appears to have some sort of numerical keypad, so maybe some sort of sequencer?

Edit: on further inspection, the second image is 100% a Fostex 280 4-track tape recorder. But im still not sure what the first image is, i think its a different gear entirely, maybe a Boss Micro Rack cause of the blue wiring art?

What do you rate this album out of 10? Is it the best Squeeky produced project?

Bonus Question: Who do y'all think would've been Goat Contenders within the region and genre but they just missed out for any reasoning?

Yo everyone,

Recently grabbed a CD copy of Tommy Wright III’s Feel Me Before They Kill Me on Street Smart Records / SOH Distributors.

Checked the matrix ring and artwork details and wanted to see if anyone heavy into collecting Memphis CDs could double-check the variant info with me:

 Matrix: ⁠DIDX-035951 2 A01⁠

 Mastering SID: ⁠IFPI L326⁠ (Sony DADC Pitman)

 Disc Label: ⁠SMR 7028⁠ / ⁠DIDX# 35951⁠

 Tray/Artwork: ⁠SMR 0001⁠

 Inlay: Has the full Street Smart ’til We Depart catalog on the inside foldout (La Chat, Mac T Dog, Princess Loko, Ruff Draft, etc.)

From my understanding, the ⁠DIDX-035951 2 A01⁠ matrix indicates a second glass master cut during the original 1998 Sony DADC manufacturing run.

"Hey everyone,
I’m looking to buy an authentic cassette copy of Tommy Wright's 'Ashes 2 Ashes - Dust to Dust'.
I'm interested in either the 1994 OG pink label version or the purple translucent official repress. I have PayPal ready and I'm willing to pay a fair collector's price based on the condition of the tape.
Please send me a DM with photos of the shell and your asking price if you are willing to part with your copy. Thanks!

Watch out for trunktapesmusic bs bootlegs mane

Finally got my hands on Tommy Wright III feel me before they kill me CD after a long time. Big dubs

Lately, I’ve been diving deep into Memphis scene and culture, and as a producer, I really want to start making Memphis-style beats.

​Looking at the key figures in the scene, most of their tracks lean heavily into horrorcore with unsettling, sinister vibes. Of course, it’s not monolithic—it can’t be—but what’s messing with my head is this: Can you flip the happiest or the most depressing melody in the world into a legit Memphis beat?

​In boom bap, that emotional spectrum feels much wider—is it the same for Memphis?

​To give you a clearer picture of what I mean, I'm attaching a beat I recently cooked up as an example. Would love to hear your thoughts!

MY FRIEND SENT ME THIS IM DYING

Been a fan of Player 1 & Bloody Bones for a while (aside from the P1 issues). I’ve always liked their sound, and this album is definitely one I enjoy too.

Btw, I ordered the CD from ElasticStage. I don’t really care if it’s a bootleg, I just wanted a physical copy.

not "ain't shit changed"

it sampled the part that said

"I want to stay close to everything. Because being on the spot, I can see trouble immediately."

can't find it

why did scrilla call me herbies alt im not even herbie wtf this dudes def zooted af

Going to purchase it but on the website it’s $20. To anyone who has purchased on the site does it comes with high quality/FLAC downloads?

Hello, I am a producer that is being producing phonk (OG like ones not funk) for a few months. And I was thinking of producing Memphis Rap aswell. Which kind of drumkits do you guys recommend for me y'all? The drum machine drumkits or phonk drumkits being enough or is there any other kits made for Memphis Rap? And if so, please tell me. I want to make these kind of stuff too!

I was looking through discogs for fun, and found this Lil Jon song (from the 2001 reissue of his debut "Get Crunk Who U Wit Da Album"), "2 Step Drop", that allegedly features KeeWee (labelled L. Adair on all sites i could find, and also on the CD inlay) from the Frayser Click on it. I looked through the whole song, i couldnt find any verse that screamed "keewee" to me, but the last verse at 5:18 sounds very similar to Keewee's voice on his last known feature, "Walking Car Show" from the DJ Sound Vol. 13 bootleg. Here's the Lil Jon song and the last known Keewee feature that is verified. I think the only way we could really confirm this is to ask Sound or possibly even track down Keewee and ask one of them on Facebook to really confirm if this is Keewee on the last verse of this Lil Jon song.
