Gang Starr Foundation Member Big Shug ‘Triple OGzus’
‘Triple OGzus’ Features Guest Appearances And Production From DJ Premier, Termanology, Reks, MoSS & Kid Called Quest
After trailblazing around the globe numerous times with Gang Starr as a core member of the Gang Starr Foundation, Big Shug, who has appeared on Gang Starr’s classics such as 1994’s Hard To Earn “F.A.L.A.,” 1998’s Moment Of Truth “The Militia” and 2003’s Gold-certified The Ownerz “Capture” (Militia Pt.3), follows up his last street savvy endeavor, I.M. 4-EVA (2012), with his new project, Triple OGZus, which is in stores now.
While MoSS, Reel Drama and Kidd Called Quest contribute production, staying true to the Gang Starr Foundation formula, Big Shug recreates his indelible bond with DJ Premier on the albums two singles and videos, “Off Rip,” which also features Termanology and Singapore Kane, and “I Bleed For This”. Preemo produces three tracks in total on Triple Ogzus and as Shug states, the bond the two have fostered over the years only continues to grow “Premier is my brother and with all the technology and changing faces, we are still the same. We represent the Gang Starr legacy and we are serious about that!!!”
Big Shug explains “Triple OGzus represents me as a street veteran, underground icon and original gangster who is always wise to the game. I love the fans and will always represent authentic hip-hop music with my soul.”

The eclectic as ever Northern Structure Records have returned with their latest offering to the world of hip hop in the form of ‘Standard Procedure’, courtesy of emcee duo 2 Complex (Evileyz, Spider Jaroo) and producer Bambu Hands.
The 12 track album takes the listener back to those early, hazy days of what was to become a formidable force in the northern hip hop scene. Before the formation of Northern Structure, 2 rappers hailing from the sandy, alcohol and drug infused coasts of Blackpool took it upon themselves to come together and create an EP that would change the course of everything they ever knew.
During that time, various local performances would lead the two spitters to come across a man known then as ‘Faceless’ who would later become Bambu Hands. 2 Complex instantly took to the lancastrian’s (A person from Lancaster) soul laced production and along with the appearance of the enigmatic Amos and beat box crew ‘The Masses’, Northern Structure Records was born.
Fast forward eight years and artists have come and gone but the core figures still remain. Now they find themselves releasing a project that sat in a dusty attic galvanizing and maturing over a time period that reflects the nature of the production and vocals throughout the album.
Everyone who follows the site regularly knows I’m a massive of turntabilsm and the joint ‘Salted P-nuts’ is the album’s introduction to NSR turntable mentalist DJ P-Nuts who also performed the cuts on last year’s ‘Live From The Archive Vol 1’. With DMC and various other major DJ comp honours under his belt, it isn’t difficult to see why his technical cutting abilities over the album’s three instrumentals are a definite highlight.
‘The Vibe’ is another favourite, I was definitely vibing to the head nodding beat from Bambu Hands, dope cuts and Spider and Evileyz lace the joint whith a relaxed flow.
There really isn’t a weak joint on this album, even the instrumentals keep you locked in with DJ P-Nuts skills on the wheels of Steel, coupled with Spider Jaroo and Evileyz lyrical skills it’s easy to see why Northern Structure Records have become a respected label within the UK and why we are fans of what they do here at HHLAT. ‘Standard Procedure’ is an example of how an album can be expertly engineered over the course of a long period of time and still sound as relevant as it did on the day of it’s creation.
I’ve been sitting on this gem from the Northern Structure Records family until I had the time to give it my full attention. This morning was that day and this has soon brightened up what was looking like being a bad day!
