Sleestack'z ‎- Ruination / Crystal Clear - 1995


12 - 1995 - Ichiban International 


First and only 12" single released by the Sleestack'z in 1995. This wax contains the remix versions of "Ruination" and "Crystal Clear", both produced by Spearhead X (Mass Influence) and which aren't on the album version.








For those who don't know this group yet, The Sleestack'z were a 4 man hip-hop group (J-Nailz, Dwella, Nic & Oxx) from the mid 90s, based out of Atlanta (originally from NY). Their debut (and only) album "Behind The Iron Curtain" was released in 1996 via Ichiban Records. Ichiban was the Koch Records of the early 90s. Their album had some underground buzz and many consider it an obscure hip-hop gem. Latchkey co-owner K (aka nomadic trackz) and his production partner Naga, producing as the production duo Straight Roots, were the producers behind the Slee. The album has been reissued in 2015 by Gentleman's Relief Records.
