Summer '97 Ollie and Brian Rivas threw a Player's Ball. I'm not going to go into it but with a fridge full o 40s anyone who's watched a certain music video knows the level of god-king that bequeath its maker. Suffice to say a good night was had by all and to all a rad night.Then somewhere in the next year Jessie and Ollie threw one in Winston Salem. Then another at my place at the Wilmont - summer '98. I think another one happened - not too sure - between then and fall of 2000. We were living in Durham for a few months between NYC and the bay area. We had a big house with Margaret and a lot of empty room, in other words the grounds were predestined for party HQ. Among the many throw or blasted or what have you was the (4th or) 5th Players Ball. We, in accordance with with the standards set by the first player's Ball, removed everything from the fridge and packed it with assorted 40s Andre and Red Dagger. We even filled a three foot wide bowl with "Players Punch." and got snaps with our full accounts withdrawn in unconsecutive small bills yo. Which brings me to this tape. I met Daniel working at a bar-resturant in Durham, he managed and bar-tended and dropped knowledge on the reg and thus was known as "The Head" (though he could have been anointed this at a much earlier date). He cut this tape specifically for the party working from his personal vinyl collection and used the order pads for a makeshift tracklisting. Varying staples & crate cuts split by decade on the dual tape sides [for your preferred ballin' timescape] Use only as directed.
Thanks Daniel!
