APHILLYATION “tore” the college circuit up in 1996 threw 1999. We put out singles that were independently distributed world wide through “ECHO INTERNATIONAL”, Who is now Famous Records, Corp. “APHILLYATION” was just getting off the ground when we released two major singles with “ECHO INTERNATIONAL”; the first of the two was UNITED SNAKES OF AMERICA (U.S.A), B.side HAD R.E.M, and PUPPET MASTERS which featured Dice Raw Of The legendary “ROOTS CREW”. This single hit the stores and airwaves internationally and took off. Within six months we’d sold 15,000 units world wide! I think that's pretty good for an underground group and independent label. The buzz we created and the name we developed in the early ninety's was solid. Some of the groups from Philly at the time were-100X, BIG TAB NOW JACK FROST, AYEESHA, BAHAMADIA, 215 ASSASSINS, RAM SQUAD, and the list went on. In 1999, “APHILLYATION” was signed to “TOMMYBOY RECORDS” for a single deal. So we released the 12' inch single DRY TEARS/ TO THIS. The single sold 40,000 units worldwide, User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
