Description: Super Dooper rare and hard to find compilation out of Houston, TX. This classic album called "Swisher Suite" by "Explicit Lyric Records". This album contains some of the dopest G-Funk (Gangster Funk) production by Bruce Latin and Preston Middleton. This album was recorded at the legendary "Brotherman's Studio"!!! This is the first time that this album has been seen on CD. Most G-Funk and rap/hip hop aficionados have only seen this album in the cassette tape format until now!

Mixerr Album Reviews #1,823

The Swisher Suite compilation that was released in 1994 was one of the best rap compilations from Houston for that year. The compilation has smooth laid back G-Funk sound rap fans will surely enjoy. Klass C got a bunch of local Houston artists together with help from Lot A Rap Records to create this dope ass compilation on Explicit Lyric Records (Explicit Lyrics Records).

Bruce Latin produced this compilation. This is his creation. He produced all the song except for Ride With Us. Preston Middleton only produced one song. The whole album is about Swisher Sweets.

What is unique and interesting about this compilation is that the Swisher Suite compilation cassette came packaged with a Swisher Sweet cigar. This promotion tactic is what set this compilation apart from all other compilations coming from Houston at that time. The Swisher Suite cigar was a nice marketing gig.

Zig Zag - Hittin Switches is rough and funky with good samples. Raw G's Dat Fry is a bass driven with catchy vocal hooks. On The Cut Makin Licks is more harsh and brash compared to the other songs on the album. The Gulf Coast Gangsters song Ride With Us is comparatively lax compared to all the other songs on this album.

I rate this album, 5/5*****!!
