Now Born Click - Now Born Soldiers Remix - 1995




Now Born click was a group from New Brighton, Staten Island which was originally formed in the early 90s by Ill God, Born God (RIP), Solger & Bombay. They released their first 12" (Now Born Soldiers / Mad Sick) in 1993 on Phat Wax Records, an indie record label managed by Steve Rosen.

2 years later... in 1995, the group signed with Stepsun Records and dropped their second 12" which is a remix version of the first single "Now Born Soldiers". In my opinion, this version is better than the original.

According to their official biography, delays in the release schedule forced a frustrated Now Born Click to leave Stepsun Music Entertainment within a year, and internal tensions and personal tragedies led the original group to break up in 1995.
