Trouble On My Mind

Overview

Trouble On My Mind is one of the original recordings from Live Squad's cancelled Game Of Survival album. Recorded during the group's time with Tommy Boy Records, the song remained unreleased for almost ten years before finally appearing on the reconstructed Game Of Survival album issued by Grand Imperial Records in 2001.

The recording showcases Stretch and Majesty delivering vivid street storytelling over a hard-edged Live Squad production. Lyrically, the song continues many of the themes that became synonymous with the group's music, including survival, loyalty and the everyday realities of life in South Jamaica, Queens.

Although it received its first official release in 2001, the recording preserves the original Tommy Boy-era performances and remains an important example of Live Squad's earliest creative period.

Recording History

The song was recorded during the original Game Of Survival sessions while Live Squad were signed to Tommy Boy Records. Intended for the group's debut album, it was left unreleased when the project was cancelled before its planned commercial release.

Following Stretch's death in 1995, Majesty retained the original recordings and later reconstructed the album through Grand Imperial Records. As a result, Trouble On My Mind finally received its first official commercial release in 2001, almost a decade after it had originally been recorded.

The recording remains one of the clearest examples of Live Squad's original Tommy Boy sound, combining gritty lyricism with the production style that would later influence much of Stretch's work with 2Pac and Thug Life.
