O.G.C. or the Originoo Gunn Clappaz are a trio from Brooklyn, New York consisting of Louieville Sluggah, Starang Wondah & Prime Canine. Their 1996 debut Da Storm is broadly regarded was one of many biggest albums Duck Down Music Inc. has ever put out though their 2nd & up to now last full-length The MPire Shrikez Again was extra reasonably acquired. 3 a long time later & the Boot Camp Clik subunit who additionally fashioned The Fab 5 with Heltah Skeltah are lastly returning to drop off a 3-pack in celebration of their debut’s anniversary.
“I Don’t Want You” kicks issues off with a dusty 3 & a half minute intro with some sampling chops speaking about creating wealth independently whereas “Make Peace” instrumentally embraces a growth bap vibe advising all low finances muhfuckas to sit down down. The nearer “Nonetheless Starang” produced by Rockwilder finishes the EP with my favourite monitor right here, spending the ultimate moments of 3:30 wanting again at their careers going from touring the world to kicking it with Joey Bada$$.
Wasn’t anticipating O.G.C. to coincide Buckshot’s self-produced third album The Payback dropping earlier in the present day & regardless of having to choose the latter for being the perfect of the two, I nonetheless assume 3:30 makes for a mean return for the Gunn Clappaz though I’d undoubtedly say it’s higher than The MPire Shrikez Again. All 3 members haven’t misplaced a step by way of lyricism or chemistry, however I want the manufacturing stood out extra equally to the outro since each of Francis McCracken’s contributions have been merely satisfactory compared.
