The 305 unearthed another seven year old cut from Officer Ricky. I’ll let them tell it:
“So, I got my hands on the original intro and title track to the 2002 version of Port Of Miami album
that never came out – the same one I mentioned a couple weeks back. I
can’t confirm, but I’m 90-percent positive this was produced by Just
Blaze (I twittered Just Blaze so he could confirm or not – let’s see if
he responds). And it was recorded in 2002 as was heard in his second
verse “2002, true…I’ma let ya’ll fools now when and what I’ma do.” You
also notice that the track begins with newsclips from local WSVN
Channel 7. Those clips might sound reminicent of the intro track to the
official Port Of Miami that did came out, where K. Foxx
re-recites something similar to those WSVN audio bites.”
Ross’ flow was definitely 718 tinged back then.
