Call O' Da Wild

Call O' Da Wild was a duo consisting of Harlem emcees Barron Ricks and Angelo Campanioni who were active for a short number of years in the mid-1990s. The group was closely affilliated with DJ Muggs and part of the Soul Assassins, appearing on the first S.A. album with the track "New York Undercover." Despite recording an entire album that was to be self-titled for Ruffhouse/Columbia/SME, which was assigned the catalogue number CK 67233, the group only got to release two exclusive 12-inch singles, in 1995 and 1996, respectively, as well as appearing on the soundtracks for "Bad Boys" and "Gravesend" roughly between the same time before fading into obscurity. Barron Ricks, however, released a 12-inch single of his own in 1998, which included the B-Real- and Chace Infinite-featured "Rags to Riches" and the Alchemist-laced "Harlem River Drive" on the flipside. Most people probably know him best for his many cameos on Cypress Hill's "IV" from that same year, even making an apperance on the classic hit single "Tequila Sunrise."
