“The 4-Track Era- Volume 3 - Best Of The Original Productions (1990-1992)”

While in High School, Shadow saved up and purchased a $300 4-Track cassette recorder. For the next several years, this would be the only method available for Shadow to record, and he made the most of it by committing tons of ideas to tape, several of which eventually saw release: tracks like debut "Lesson 4" for Hollywood BASIC, "The Legitimate Mix" for African MC's Zimbabwe Legit, and part of his Solesides bow "Entropy" were all realized during these pivotal years. Now, for the first time, Shadow has hand-picked some of his favorite moments and compiled them for this release.
