I got in touch with Stretch about this piece of vinyl to get some history on it and this is what he said.

"Freestyle Frenzy were a series of limited edition freestyle compilations highlighting some stellar live on air segments from my radio show on KCR. I believe it is the first of its kind, and predates a slew of future releases that captured unofficial recordings. To give you a little insight into how novel this record was, when Ghostface was in record store in Virginia, someone played for him a 12" that was a bootleg of the Meth/Ghost freestyle off of Freestyle Frenzy. When he got back to NYC, he went straight to Loud Records and was ready to flip. It was a little unpleasant because I was on Loud's payroll as a frelance A&R man. While I believe he was enjoying the drama, and making it seem worse than it was, Steve Rifkind was acting like the sky was about to fall, full of panic, certain that Saholin was about t wreck Loud's offices and cause me bodily harm. It turns out I saw Ghost later that month, and he really had very little idea what I was talking about when I tried to explain what the record was. To this day I don't know what really happened, but it was a bit controversial for a minute because no one could tell if it was a good thing for the artists or if it was a bootleg. Keep in mind this before the digital revolution."

DJ Boogie Boy - Muzik 5

Here's another mix from Chicago's Boogie Boy from 1997. I forget where I got this mix from, I think from A to the L but I'm not sure. To me its not as good as Product of The Environment, Search & Destroy or Take It Personal but still dope none the less. Be on the lookout for more Boogie Boy... Enjoy!

DJ Boogie Boy - Product Of The Environment (Chapter 2 From The 14th Disctrict)

The first time I heard of Mike Boogie was when my man B_ill hit me off with a dub of his 1996 Mixtape Search & Destroy. He's from Chicago and was a part of the X-Men crew. This mixtape precedes Serch & Destroy and is from around 1993. I wanna thank Paul T for hooking me up with a better quality rip than the tape I had. Altho his side b was missing the first 2 mins of the intro I cut and pasted the missing part from my rip so thats why it sounds like shit at the beginning of side b. I have a bunch more mixes from Boogie Boy to share so be on the lookout for those... Let me know what you think of this tape, its on some 4 track shit so you know it's gonna be dope! If anyone has Volume 1 let me know... Enjoy!
