Bored Stiff - Give It Up / Nine-Six

Label: Hella Records
Released: 1997

Bored; tired of and slightly annoyed by things that are not interesting, exciting, or entertaining.

Stiff; strong or potent in effect, showing determination and resolve.

Bored Stiff is internationally known for their classic underground, raw and original sound. Their lyrics and production center from a style that captures and blends ideas and sounds like a collage. Bored Stiff also known as B.S. or The Stiff was formed in 1992 in the Fillmore, lower Haight Street section of San Francisco. Made up of 12 members including Equipto, Big Shawn, TD Camp, Mint Rock, Mic, Dubstar, P-Way, Julz, and more, the group recorded countless tapes through the 90's, and released two Eps, "Explainin'", "Timeless,"(now high priced collectors items), an album entitled "Ghetto Research"(look out for bootleg vinyl in Europe), and appeared on numerous compilations.

Rocking shows throughout the West Coast, Europe, Cuba, and Japan the group built a strong reputation and fan base. Although they haven't released much music as a crew lately, the group has branched out with most of the members releasing successful projects to this day. Coming together to record a new album, Bored Stiff is ready to fill the gap left wide open by today's Rap scene. While most artists seem scared to be themselves, Bored Stiff makes music with the confidence to make a difference. Their new album "From the Ground Up" is due in stores August 21st, 2007, and promises to give listeners a refreshing taste of dope original production with content that is sincere and long over due.
