I loved 1995 as a resident of New York and listener of the many great shows out on FM radio at the time. Everyday was another show I had to have a tape ready for, I remember going to school the next day tired from checkin all these damn shows, lol. I'm happy to find additional tapes nowadays that I might have missed and hopefully many more to turn up in the future.
The first recording is from a live set by Pete Rock from him & Marley's Pirate Radio show on WBLS. This was New Years morning, they used to come on at midnight and bring many quality songs from the underground, sometimes play some breaks or have a live guest. Listen to this for a flashback to that era as Pete takes you on a journey through songs by Ol Dirty, Smif N Wessun, Channel Live, Bush Babees and others.

The second is a live appearance by Group Home and their crew Brainsick Mob up at Stretch & Bobbito's show, I think this was just before Livin' Proof came out. This was another good period of the NY underground, especially with Premier's amazing creative output, I think that Group Home album is one of the heights of this period of his work.
