Release Notes: ░██▓
██▒
CeStyle, then just known as Corey, grew up in an especially ██░
musical family. His father was the songwriter and musician ██
Larry Banks and his mother sung in her husband's band "The ██
Pleasures" and also recorded and performed with Larry in ██
"Lawrence & Jaibi". The Banks' found further fame years ██
after their careers ended, due to the resurrgence of their ██
works through the "Northern Soul" scene in the UK and ██
specifically due to the compilations of Dave Godin. The ██
family house at 202 Street & 100th Ave in Queens Village, ██
saw the likes of Clive Davis and Burt Bacharach visit and a ██
very young Corey would be surrounded by classic Jazz and ██
Soul artists before he could even walk. As you would expect, ██
music was always in the air, as was the music business. ██
Larry had a production deal with RCA and wrote songs that ██
would later be sung by Elvis and The Moody Blues. During his ██
career he got "ripped off" on a number of ocassions, so a ██
hesitance to work with majors or even labels pur se was ██
ingrained in Corey at a very early age. He would, later in ██
his career, be dropped from two big labels with his ██
recordings being shelved... ██
██
At the age of 12, after a fight during art class while ██
attending I.S 192 Elementary School, Corey was punished by ██
being made to attend singing class. He was told to sit by ██
the piano and sing so that the teacher could discover his ██
forte. He began to sing and instead of being chosen as ██
suprano or alto, he was told that he would be a solist. He ██
hated this new role, but his dad ran with it. Every day ██
after school he would return home to find that his dad had ██
penned him a new song to sing. However, his musical passion ██
was genuinely ignited during maths lessons. The kid behind ██
him in class would spend the whole lesson writing rhymes. ██
Corey would look round and see the kid highlighting "long ██
words" in a big dictionary on the table and attempting to ██
squeeze them into his rhymes. This fascinated him. After ██
class one day, he said to the kid "Teach me how to rhyme". ██
The reply was a very mature and informed one: "Either you ██
can or you can't - it's already inside you or not. Look, go ██
home tonight and try to write a rhyme and we'll see if it's ██
good and maybe I can help you". That night Corey wrote four ██
pages of rhymes. He took them to school the next day to show ██
the kid. His response was "You NICE!". ██
██
He formed a crew while at Benjamin N Cardozo High School in ██
Bayside, Queens, called "High Tech Crew" and took the (as he ██
now claims, corny) name of Core-Sants - the Core was his ██
graf tag and the Sants was a play on the new Burger King ██
Croissants sandwich! [I actually thought that was pretty ██
DOPE!! haha]. It would change to CeStyle soon after and his ██
next crew was formed, known as "Hollis Spies" which included ██
cats like Eguan, Self Lord and Bill Skills among many ██
others. It was this crew that morphed into Total Pack. The ██
dudes would rhyme over beat tapes at block parties and house ██
parties and got themselves a name locally. Their ██
neighbourhood was RIFE for Hip Hop. Corey's earliest ██
memories of Hip Hop music were his elder brother's ██
Treacherous 3 and Coldcrush tapes, but he was personally hit ██
hard by the bug after returning from Summer Camp in 1983 and ██
being exposed to Run DMC's "Sucker MC's". Here was the ██
hottest Hip Hop group in the world talking about his local ██
area, Hollis, Queens. It had a profound affect on him. ██
██
Corey was a regular kid, hanging around in the streets, ██
selling this and that. He was noticed by a local ██
beatmaker/producer called Darryl Crush who had a little ██
studio round the way. Crush saw that Corey was getting up to ██
no good and invited him over to his studio to check his gear ██
and foster a passion for the music. He told him he could ██
come round whenever he wanted and even if he wasn't home, to ██
just knock at the door and his mum would let him in to work ██
- but to stay off the streets!! Crush owned a Roland S-10 ██
and a 4-Track, among other boards and desks and Corey had ██
his first experience of production there. ██
██
He met his soon-to-be partner playing basketball in Jamaica ██
Park. After the ball game Corey pulled out a tape of beats ██
and played it in a boom box while cats dropped rhymes. One ██
of the fellas was nice with it. Kamal was from Tennessee and ██
was up in the North East now and again to stay with his ██
aunt. The two rappers had a noticeably fresh rapport on the ██
mic and soon formed a rap duo - again named Total Pack. ██
Corey would use the name throughout his early career as an ██
artist, in multiple different group and solo set-ups. Kamal ██
frequented a lot of the clubs in the city whereas Corey ██
would mainly be in the street or local house parties, so ██
Kamal brought with him a series of contacts. One of these, ██
Bobbito Garcia, had a radio show (!). They had two demo ██
routines recorded, one entitled "Catch Wreck" and the other ██
"Represent" and Bobbito would play them on his Tech Nine ██
show and the group off the back of the spins, got a little ██
NY love. ██
██
The next stage in their career occured one Sunday morning. ██
Corey was stood in his grandma's kitchen doing the dishes in ██
his pjamas. A friend knocked at the door and was like "Yo ██
Corey, they are filming a K-Solo video up on Hillside - ██
let's check it out NOW". So, still in his PJ top, he rushed ██
out the house to peep the scene. His friend knew Solo a ██
little and asked him to listen to Corey rap and K-Solo was ██
duly impressed. They rushed off to get Kamal and when they ██
returned Erick and Parrish were there, so they peformed ██
their routines for none other than EPMD. Next they were ██
introduced to EPMD's manager Sandy Griffin who got them a ██
meeting with Faith Newman (who signed Nas) at Columbia. They ██
performed their routine over some breakbeats and Faith got ██
them a meeting with her boss Dave Kahn. Based on that ██
meeting they signed a 10 album deal, so the story goes, the ██
only major label deal signed without a demo since Janis ██
Joplin. As far as management they had some issues with Sandy ██
Griffin and signed a management deal with MC Serch who Corey ██
had run into several years before while doing a radio ██
freestyle. ██
██
They went into the studio with Charlie Morotta for the first ██
time as a crew. Remember they had never really recorded any ██
songs, just a series of rhymes over used beats and ██
breakbeats - they got the deal off the back of their ██
rhyming, not songwriting skills. Around this time Nas had ██
just signed to Columbia and the label were focusing on ██
Illmatic. The boys had a solid NY/Tri Boro Buzz but that was ██
it, so they were really starting from scratch. When they got ██
into the studio they found that they weren't gelling well ██
together. There was a lot of friction between the two and ██
they had different ideas about how to write. One track that ██
just featured Corey on it, called "Verbal Assault" was ██
played to Faith Newman who loved it and was ready to have ██
that as the first release - but Corey was concerned that it ██
was just a solo track - so he left it back and continued to ██
write with Kamal. That turned out to be a fatal mistake! ██
They submitted a new track with both MC's on it and she ██
hated it. They had a production meeting lined up the ██
following ██
week with Trackmasters but it was cancelled at the last ██
minute and shortly afterwards they were dropped. The 10 ██
album deal didn't even see a single released - but several ██
of those tracks from the Columbia deal are on 2" reels which ██
are in the process of being recovered - more soon... ██
██
Through Serch, Corey got himself a solo deal with Wild ██
Pitch, again using the name Total Pack. Again his music was ██
put on the back-burner while Stu Fine concentrated on the ██
N-Tyce project which had amassed sales of 100,000 in the ██
south alone. At this time Corey continued to shop deals with ██
the new material, but every label he talked to had just ██
spoken to Fine and didn't wanna work. In the end, the Wild ██
Pitch material was shelved as the company moved more into ██
distribution deals. Several tracks have leaked on to the net ██
in recent years but Chopped Herring is pleased to announce ██
that they are being dropped on vinyl for the very first time ██
to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the crew. Also included ██
are two tracks from around 1998 "Beyond Limits" + "We Comin ██
(Remix)". ██
