Some demo action to soundtrack your Saturday night.
Intelligent Hoodlum – ‘No Justice, No Peace [Pete Rock Mix]‘
As heard on WBLS’ In Control and Tim Westwood’s Capitol Rap show before the Intelligent Hoodlum album was released. The album version, credited to Marley Marl, features a snippet of the same horn and sharper drums. Not sure if Pete’s version was a demo or a radio exclusive remix? Either way, it’s fresh for ’89.
Intelligent Hoodlum – ‘The Rebel Returns [Demo]‘
This plays like the an early version of ‘The Rebel’ from In Control, Volume 1 from 1988, but I’ve seen it on a Westwood radio playlist from ’89 so who knows?
Bonus: Trag and Scram rapping at the House of Hits while some random white guy drums!
