Just curious if anyone knows why the 90's original rap trio SIMKEN HEIGHTS from Lansing Michigan was never signed onto Psychopathic Records?

Was it because SIMKEN HEIGHTS was already signed to KMC Records out of detroit? 

Does anyone know if Mike E. Clark considered signing Simken Heights in the mid 90's? 

Just miss'n' those Smoke Box & Religion of the Beast type of bang'n' beats along with Holy Water that was a Cap One solo that had that Simken Raw sound fa sho.

I do give props to Curt D from KGP for putting his spin on the newer Simken Heights tracks with Bedlam but me being from Lansing, I prefer the old Simken Sound. I prefer the Raw Sound of da Simken which is clearly the rappers creative voices of MASS and J Rome.  Maybe others agree to disagree and thats cool.

Curt D's take on the sound he made with Cap One for the Late 2000 SIMKEN HEIGHTS REVAMP just didn't catch me like Cap One's Holy Water solo project in the late 90's which was in my book the closing chapter to the original Simken Heights raw sound.

Mane, I grew up in Lansing so its obvious to me what the Lansing Old Heads , OG's and Midwest Simken 90's rap fans remember.

I feel we Simken fans need the story telling to come back which MASS is a master at telling through his rhymes. 

 I hope MASS will invent and get together a whole new rap crew that has studied the Simken Sound in general and will preserve the SIMKEN raw sound while using those Simken Raw beats. 

I understand the SIMKEN stereotype is horrorcore/wicked sound but I think MASS will give us a whole new Music Creation without the horrorcore wickedness which I don't mind.

Whats most strange is no photos exist on the internet of MASS rapping on stage when SIMKEN HEIGHTS went on tour with ICP. 

Its truly a pity how no one who actually saw Simken Heights in concert (((when Mass was still in the group))) would have saved the photos of Simken Heights concerts to upload to the world wide web back in the late 90's and early 2000. 

I think the original 90's Simken Heights has the perfect chemistry and story for someone to make a movie about their hip hop rap beginnings in Lansing. 

Just someone needs to find MASS to interview him and see if MASS will consider returning to the studio after all these years. 

For archive purposes, I want to start a blog about the Simken Heights story. 

Maybe one day I will have gathered enough info about the rap group to post their whole story. 

For now I am hoping more Michigan rap fans will post some more stories about the original SIMKEN HEIGHTS. 

If you have never heard of Simken Heights, this is one of their creative tracks from the late 90's titled Bong Thang.
