about

The first 10 minuites of "Return of the Haltown Meltdown Show" recorded live - 10 PM on May 12th 1995 at Cafe Ole, Barrington St. Halifax. Various Artists includes Jorun Bombay on the turntables, Cheklove, Stinkin Rich, Sixtoo, Little T, Nathan C, Classified & Keltic Rebels, Fiz, Shingai, MC SKillz, M88kenzie and more.

"Test yo skillz" was a section (usually the first 10 minuites of a Haltown show at Cafe Ole) where Jorun Bombay & Host MC Shingai would let the mic be passed around to potential MC's in the crowd so they can rock with the current "big boys" in Halifax & potentially to be added to future Haltown shows & compilations if they were good enough. If you wanted to get heard or known in Halifax as an MC, this was where you went to get your first big break. At the beginning of a Haltown Meltdown show. (At this particular show / recording, Canada's well known rap recording artist "Classified" was discovered)

This recording originally appreared on the cassette "Haltown Live" released in 1995.

lyrics

(Notes & commentaries) This recording at Cafe Ole on May 12th 1995 was the same show that the Cheklove & MC Skillz battle took place later that evening.
