Straight from the personal collection of King Tee himself, uploaded to his official YouTube channel. The drum machine is pumped up, vinyl is scratched and the microphone is rocked as two titans of the West Coast get down. King Tee & DJ Pooh act a fool, live in '89 at K-Day Coolin' in Cali.

In 1990, King Tee Visits Marley Marl's In Control Radio For "At Your Own Risk"


"Close your eyes, turn the volume up and find yourself in the middle of the Bronx in 1990. Live radio recording complete with St. Ides commercials, Marley and Flex on the wheels, Shocky Shay hosting. King Tee's record "At Your Own Risk" had just dropped and he was on tour on the east coast for promotion. We can't go back to 1990, but we can temporarily re-live it in our mind through this cassette which captured that moment in hip hop history. Enjoy :)"
