Besides some copies are available online for a very good price (less than 10$). ' Genovesee's Thesis' is a classic 12' still really easy to find nowadays.

Diehard actually spelled it that way on some releases and also on our wrapped promo van. To finish, if you're looking for an explanation about the extra E (Genovesee) written on the label, according to Genovese ' People started to write that on mixtapes for song listings at the time. You earned stripes you didn't paint them on yourself. They would slap you and take your money and tell you to beat it. They wouldn't take your money to pay them off to play your music. You had to get accepted into the culture. This generation has no idea what it was like. I put so much blood sweat and tears into the music biz. Genovese : 'We sent demos to labels back then, t o certain people but once Stiffy got into trouble the demos became not important any more.

Genovese's first official appearance was on the various compilation entitled ' 10 Deep' released on Ready Or Not Records in 1994. Couldn’t ever tell tho lol'Įveryone knows that Genovese was a member of The Lox but nobody knows that Genovese started in the early 90s as a member of the Yonkers-based duo named Unknown Soldiers.

I wrote it to a Lox beat and Styles P had that hook in the stash so I really dope song that the lyrics and hook weren’t even written to the beat. Funny thing about 'Thesis' beat, is I didn’t write the song to that beat. So Diehard really gave me the opportunity to work in studio consistently and threw us bread and mad gear. At that time I was hangin with Swizz Beats a lot. Then chilling in Ruff Ryders studio trying to work. We were with him (me and Kasino) everyday going to Daddy's house to hang while they recorded. I was running with the LoX at that time, living with Styles P in Yonkers. Genovese : ' I met Diehard Records through Richie Thumbs who was dealing with them first.
