Made In America from the film soundtrack (of the same name) on Zee 100, a scouse pirate radio station 
But their first(?) single got a massive extra global push to the exact audience they’re looking for.
Questionable for me.
Oh true, IIRC Grab the girl (sorry, we’re talking over 30 years ago so I can’t remember the track name and my tapes are in the loft) which I think was on first FTC would have helped no doubt at all, but they had a 5/5 review in Hip Hop connection (not sure about the Source) and the people into Hip Hop outside of skating that I knew were into them too.
No doubt would have given them a boost but people into Hip Hop at the time would have had Hiero on their radar no doubt.
Edit - Thrasher also ran an interview with them. Could be the Cardiel fire ring cover.

I want to say the first FTC was at the same time as the second Del album. They had him on the cover of the vid.

I know this might be sacrilege but I have never got El-P production, I don’t like it.
My favourite Del track is probably ‘Worldwide’ or ‘No More Worries’.
Wow. Not thought of that name in a long, long time.
While we are on the crate digging subject…
I spent so fucking long looking for the Casual Me-O-Mi-O tune from SHS. It’s the Domino mix. Took years to find.
And yeah, 20 Shot…HMV import for £19 to get Time for sum Aksion.
I think there are quite a few things like that…

Things Fall Apart was import-only for so long.

Tell a lie…the hmv import was just because I wanted it on CD after owning the vinyl.
This is how I first got it (from black market records):
…and then I got the full Whu Thee Album on vinyl for about £11 new.
And then the HMV import cd.
That song cost me £40 in total. Damn.
And then I also bought all the others, went to see method man live.
20 Shot costing £25 turned out to be quite the money pit, eh?

Nah, forgiven. About 20-25 years I was sat there with a mate of mine smoking and listening to various Def Jux stuff and we both laughed agreeing that El P can be hard work.

I bought a Cannibal Ox album years ago and listened to it a fair bit but in the end i had to accept I wasnt enjoying it. Now I have Spotify and access to all the music in the world I haven’t thought about or searched for Cannibal Ox once and it’s only talking to you now that reminded me of it!

Oh - just need to mention that Hiero were the first crew to run a website with a shop in the late ‘90’s.
Also into Duck Down (Black Moon, Smif n Wessun, Sean Price, Rock etc etc), but I don’t recall those guys having much in skate vids.
Waffling now, nice bit of memory lane to cheer me up there.
