CRATERY 39 : House Shoes

Detroit’s House Shoes popped by the Cratery studios to join us for an hour of vinyl nerdery when he was in town last month. Shoes and I go back to the 90’s, where our paths crossed multiple times on various record shopping trips to the D. He’s the reason cats like MoSS, Mr. Attic and myself had a shitload of Dilla beat tapes before most in the late 90’s. He had me banging an early version of Welcome to Detroit that literally turned me into a hero in my own hometown. But, while Shoes is well-known for championing the music of hip-hop’s G.O.A.T. producer (yeah, I said it), that’s just one element of who he is. He’s also a champion of vinyl, a record store veteran, and a producer with extensive crate knowledge. We were lucky enough to get a private preview of his forthcoming album, “Let it Go”, which features appearances from the likes of Guilty Simpson, Gangrene, Nottz, Roc Marciano, Detroit up-and-comers like Moe Dirdee and many more. Shit goes hard. Just like this edition of Cratery. Featuring House Shoes. Biiitch. –ARCEE

      nope. He didn’t drop it on this edition. Although I also have the record, I just for whatever reason spaced on the fact that it was a Michigan record and that Shoes would own it LOL. Goes for like $150-$200. I have played it on Cratery before as an unlisted joint. So it will remain shrouded in mystery.

    @Catalist-in terms of the priv. press joint- You used to own the record. Murr put you on to it, and in turn, you put me on. I found my copy at Cosmos for under $50. Pretty sure you sold your copy about a year ago possibly more?
