Kam - Peace Treaty

From 1993 Album: "Neva Again"...[Artist info below].....
Get The Music:
www.amazon.com/...
Kam (born Craig A. Miller in Los Angeles, California) is an American political emcee known primarily among hip hop fans and music critics during the 1990s & early 2000s. He is regarded as one of the most respected & esteemed West Coast rap artists.
With his overt sociopolitical stance, somewhat rare for a West Coast rapper, Kam's angst-ridden brand of hardcore rap helped set the mark by which other socially-conscious emcees would be (and still are) judged.
Originally affiliated with Ice Cube, Kam's releases appeared sporadically, initially debuting on the Boyz N the Hood soundtrack, and then releasing his first solo album, Neva Again (1993, Atlantic). His powerful sophomore release, Made in America was released to critical acclaim in 1995, although a lack of commitment due to his political stance by his label at the time, East West Recordings, eventually led to his departure.
He took some time off in the late '90s to pursue other interests before returning in 2001 with his indie release Kamnesia, an ambitious album that found him further engaging street audiences with a slight club-friendly appeal to his insightful rhymes.
Now Kam finds himself aligned with Guerrilla Funk Recordings, arguably the musical home best suited for him, and a long overdue official pairing with Paris, whose political leanings mirror his own almost identically.

[@30907bng]

Miss that old west coast funk sound with the hand claps which defined the west coast's identity even more so than g-funk. This was one of the best samples of atomic dogg I've ever heard and this is coming from an East Coast head.

[@thedarksideoftheforce6658]

Cube had the best version on his first album

[@tochiRTA]

I have to agree. Any other notable examples of classic west coast funk-based hip hop? I always loved Redman's "Watch Yo Nuggets" flip but that's on the East.

[@themaze45]

Did Muggs make this Beat?

[@powderedtoastfacekillah734]

C. Griff nah Solid Scheme did the beat. They were a duo from Brooklyn. They did das efx’s first album

His first album is a classic overlooked gem.

Kam is a brother I have big respect for. Could of been another "star" but refused to sell himself out to the enemy for that fame.
