GOLDEN ERA

A once in a lifetime (underground hip hop) opportunity that shouldn't have been missed.

EXCLAIM MAGAZINE — BY THOMAS QUINLAN

Published · reached Usenet April 12, 1999

Backed by DJ Awristoscratch, but with the absense of of rhyme partner Overstand the Conspiracy, SBU's Psychology the Mindbender was left to fend for himself on the mic. Solution: enlist the help of fellow Astral Majesty MC's and other freinds. While Mindbender dropped verses from hisout-of-print debut release, and their newer "Mental Reverse/Spiritual Rebirth", suprise MC's: Fritz the Cat, Eternia (Canada's dopest female MC), Kotep Omegatron, Stubbs (of Isolated Showers), and Paul the Apostle, dropped some competitive gems that showcased a stage-full of underground Canadian talent! Few knew their names, and even fewer knew the songs, but if crowad participation was any indication, February 12th was the birth of a new Toronto underground. A once in a lifetime opportunity that shouldn't have been missed."
