'Beneath the surface' by GZA because it has a lovely sample and a super KP verse.
'Pleasure & Pain' by U-God which has a super Hell Razah verse.
'Co-defendant' bu Shyheim with another super Hell Razah verse.
Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars by Killarmy is a disturbed and ludicrous LP with (however) amazing 4th Disciple music.
On a (sort of) related note I'm trying to find the first Blahzey Blahzey album. I used to have it but I sold it years ago (mistake). They don't seem to exist on Amazon any more. Not even 'Danger' which was really big. Wasn't it? I remember it being so. I can't even remember what the album is called. Is it still available at all? Am I just being dense? I'd be amazed if it isn't. It was a beautifully produced album. (If not quite as beautifully produced as Show & AG's 'Goodfellas' which also seems to have fallen off the radar, an absurd situation. Nothing is as lovely as that album. Luckily I kept that one.)

You've mis-spelt it - Blahzay.

Yeah, had a mediocre reception at the time. Can't say I got madly into it. Danger was lethal, obv., and I loved that Good Cop, Bad Cop (?) tune, but the rest didn't make much of an impression.
The rapper (was he called Big Boy or something?) made a very ace slack tune about 6 years back which I still have.

Blahzay Blazhay-Blah Blah Blah (1996)
The two members were the rapper, Outloud and the DJ, the world famous P.F. Cuttin. The album was called "Blah Blah Blah" and the singles were "Danger" and "The Pain I Feel". If you're looking for it I can easily hook you up. I'm like Neo in the Matrix when it comes to that type of stuff.
Edit: 15 seconds later I find it!

The single here is Not Now, credited to Bla's Big Boy aka Outloud, and it's the flip Dat Shit which is, er, da shit.
"good cop, bad cop" was my shit...

Has anyone heard this album? I've heard some good things about it. What's it really like?

I absolutely agree, it's stunning. Also 'Hellz Wind Staff', 'For Heaven's Sake', 'Impossible'...that album is packed with incredible things. I think someone at the time described it as hip hop's Electric Ladyland - a description I liked. The way this album gets slammed is ridiculous. Mind you, I think 'Black Shampoo' is genius, so I may be off radar.
I keep returning to Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars too, and it's still the most deranged and damaged thing I've ever heard.

is another one of my favorites that gets ignored or slammed. But it's outstanding, and absolutely bizarre. 'Mantis', 'Kiss of a Black Widow', 'Domestic Violence', 'Lab Drunk'...lots of unprecedented and pointless gems. Lisa I'anson turns up at one point. And lots of oddball Wu Tang affiliates all over the shop, people from Killarmy, Black Knights of the North Star...um, some others. Some rapper who called himself Holocaust! Truly, these were vintage times. I can't believe some of these records got released, they're so dense and mental. From art work on 'BD in Stereo' is a phenomenal cultural artefact.
