While we're on the subject, I got some RARE 12 ish for you. When I used to dig, I would collect everything I'd see that was Pete Rock, including all his affiliates. Most of Rob-O's 12" would be some weird label, where you couldn't tell if it was bootlegged or not...but this is a 12" from Mecalicious, who was featured on the 'Fakin Jax' Remix. Other than that, I'm not too sure what else he did (help anyone?)
Anyway, peep these joints. It's quintessential Pete Rock production. I also want to note that the sound quality is a little foggy, but that's how the song sounded on record. It definitely adds to the raw appeal.

I admit...I got the pic from online, but I SWEAR I GOT THIS 12" :)

Yo whattup Haylow! I love Mekolicious... It's a shame Pete never put out Meko's album THE RUDE YOUTH properly. Meko ended up growing tired of the industry politics and quit. That's the same story with Deda Baby Pa. Anyways, check this Mekolicious Discography I put together the other day...

This guy was ILL!! He first appeared on record in early ’96 on the InI single ‘Fakin Jax (Rude Youth Mix)’ which was the dirty version and ‘Fakin Jax (Bop Ya Head Mix)’ which was the clean version. As you probably read in the Unsigned Hype, Pete Rock produced his 1997 demo tape. There's always been the rumor about the very rare white label pressing of The Rude Youth EP (or even album), but I've never seen it or even read about it online. Also, the song ‘The Youth’ (or ‘Youth’) was pressed up on a white label 12", but I don't have it and I've never seen anyone post it online and there's pretty much no info about it ANYWHERE! I remember a few years ago someone on UGHH said they had that 12” and they were supposed to post it, but they ended up just posting a poor quality (64 kbps) radio rip which is what's been floating around since.
