Album info
Released in 1998 by Black Market Records, “The Best Of Sacramento – The Past” stands as an important testament to the eclectic and gritty hip-hop scene that bubbled up from the streets of California’s capital. Featuring a robust range of styles—from Thug Rap and Gangsta to Horrorcore, Hardcore Hip-Hop, and G-Funk—this CD compilation serves as a musical mosaic that pieces together a vivid portrait of Sacramento’s rap culture during that era.
The album sets its tone straight away with Brotha Lynch Hung’s “Situation Dirty,” a track that delves deep into the visceral elements of life’s grim realities. Known for his raw storytelling, Lynch Hung doesn’t disappoint and his narrative expertise is showcased once again in “That Sickness,” where he collaborates with Nefarious, SAC, Pee Wee, and Young Meek.
Marvy Mitch and Lemay offer up “Vision Of Real,” produced by K.G., that captivates listeners with its unfiltered lyricism. It shares the stage with C-Bo’s “Birds In The Kitchen,” another emblematic example of the Gangsta rap genre, painting pictures of life at its most unvarnished.
Tracks like “Highway Music” by Non-Fiktion and “Dirty Macking” by Skanless add to the album’s thematic richness. Produced by K.G., “Highway Music” offers a sonic road trip through the realms of Thug Rap, while “Dirty Macking” takes us into the gritty subculture of Sacramento’s streets.
The compilation also features powerful contributions from female rapper Marvaless with “Ghetto Blues” and Mr. Doctor’s “Fill’em Up,” each adding a unique touch to the compilation. Triple Beam’s “Don’t Get Yo Jaw Broke” and Lil Pigg’s “Pimp S@#*” round out the album with a brash blend of Horrorcore and Hardcore Hip-Hop.
Executive produced by Black Market Records and showcasing multiple producers including K.G., this compilation stands as a time capsule capturing the varied elements that made Sacramento’s hip-hop scene so unique. From the horror-infused tales to the real-life street narratives, “The Best Of Sacramento – The Past” isn’t just an album; it’s a piece of Sacramento history, preserved in a sonic format for all to experience.
