In an incredible bit of DIY hip-hop history, Stones Throw Records honcho and all round good-guy Peanut Butter Wolf has unearthed this from his personal archives – a cover of Eazy-E single Boyz N The Hood, with the brilliantly-named local artist Spunky Spunk Dogg on vocals, and PBW on the wheels of steel. A few years later he would go on to link with Charizma, and the rest is history. As for the collaboration with Spunk D-O Double Gizzy, this was their first and only live performance. Listen below, and read the backstory from the man himself further down.
“This recording is the only one I have with him from back then and we performed outside at the backyard of a BBQ on a Sunday afternoon for an audience of around 15-20 people. We did around 5 or 6 original songs we had made and 1 cover and for the cover, we chose the biggest rap song in LA at the time. My turntable kept skipping as it wasn’t a 1200 and nobody even really cheered. I don’t even recall people really paying attention, but we were having fun and it was our first and last show together as a group. This was in the summer of ’88, and soon after, I moved back to San Jose, where I eventually met Charizma and started all over again.”
