Customer Service - Please Hold (2004)

 


As requested, today's post is Customer Service's "Please Hold" from 2004.

Customer Service was a crew from one of the last true Project Blowed classes, consisting of Nocando (now AllxCityxJimmy,) Y-Not, AOK (the three of whom made up the Weird People,) Kail (now William Thedford,) Joesue, DJ Handprints, Choice Reason, and SP83. The crew was really set in stone after they were featured on the Project Blowed 10th Anniversary album and subsequent tour. Because they likely needed merch sales from the tour, the guys put together "Please Hold" (which is a compilation of sorts) on limited CDRs (the photo on Discogs and above is from my copy.) 

"Please Hold" doesn't really show the crew's cohesion as well as their 2009 EP "Free Y-Not" does (mainly, because as noted, a lot of the tracks are plucked from the individual member's careers up until that point,) but it does show the brute talent these guys had for rapping and overall song making.

Peep it below!

  1. I read somewhere that Customer service and Swim Team (before they were customer service and swim team) were all one big crew at first,but split into 2 different groups cause it got to big. If that's true, Psycho being in both crews kind of makes sense
