When the Tuff City head honcho mentioned that this was the most slept-on release from the label I had to track down a copy. Having previously explained to Fat Lace that “she was white girl living uptown. I thought her rhymes were brilliant but she predated video unfortunately,” Mr. Fuch’s expanded on the topic when I interviewed him in 2013.
Aaron Fuchs: The most overlooked record in my catalogue is this record called ��Joe Blow�� by Puffy Dee. She was really difficult to work with and she had a real mousy voice – until somebody tells me that that record isn��t good I��ll think it��s brilliant. It was a real beats and rhymes record – Pumpkin on drum machine. It came out around the same time as the Disco Four ��School Days�� when he went through a very spare period.
I haven’t seen a photo of Puffy Dunster, but based on the comment about her not benefiting from having a video, it’s safe to assume she was a bit of a looker. ‘Joe Blow’ is certainly an amusing curio over a quality Pumpkin track, while the a-side ‘Young, Single and Free’ is a literally unlistenable attempt at the rap game Minnie Mouse to croon.
this song felt long as fuck. like a typical woman she went on and on about some nigga about how triflin he is for about 4 minutes. MC Lyte would have at least talked about cuttin a nigga dick off or “settin the bitch on fire”
“Joe Blow” does not disappoint.

Uh ehhh not feeling it. Tarrie B was the worst gimmick ever from back in the day.

You should get at me…
what is Puffy D up to these days?
If it’s the same Puffy I know she was was a platinum blonde and real looker back in the day! Video would have definitely lifted that pumpkin…Iggy Azelia before her time 4 sho!
