The famous JR Ewing Mixtape N°1 ... this is the tape which help me to know the group Shadyville All Stars in 1997... a crew hailing from Shadyville (Queens Village) NYC and consisted of P.Dap, Shamoney XL, Jerry Bones, Prince Willie Bo, Power, Roc Awwn, Preme Yamir (RIP) and Uni Joewon.
P-Dap : "We all were from the same area in Queens...we linked up after I was on the Clue mixtapes...We all had separate crews coming up and music brought us together.
Sha lived around the corner from me, we started producing at an early age... I'm a year older so he hung out the younger from the hood...we clicked up when he came home from Jail...I was already making a name out here from dj mixtapes, Dj Clue, Dj Envy, Whookid etc...".
12" - 1995 - Shadyville Entertainment
They formed the group in 1993 and released their first records in 1995. The 12" was released on Shadyville Entertainment, an indie Hip-Hop label managed by Sha, Scarecrow and P-Dap. Both tracks are produced by Sha a.k.a Sha Self and features P-Dap and Prince Willie Bo ... 'Young World' on the A-Side which uses a sample of 'Let's Straighten It Out' performed by Latimore and the best single of the record 'NowAdays' available in its original, instrumental and T.V Track versions.
