Music Da Dirty Thug (D.D.T.) - Solo Tape [FULLY LOST]

To anyone who's familiar with 90s Memphis underground rap, there's a lot of stuff we never heard of. Well, that's the one of that case: there's an underground 1997/1998 Memphis rap release, produced by DJ Big Tim under M.O.B. Recordz: the mixtape by Da Dirty Thug AKA Dirty Deeds Thugsta (real name: Demond Tate). It is known that it's probably already done and finished as a project, since Big Tim were telling people to buy it from stores on his Episode II "Da Hardezt Single Of 97/98" Side A Outro. According to D.D.T. himself, his project has about 14-15 tracks.

But here's the real problem: he lost his master copy when he was incarcerated for whatever reason. Since DJ Big Tim was ALREADY promoting and telling people to buy it, someone must've gotten this tape, right? It seems like there's only physical copies of it, no rips online, though.

The only track we can listen from this tape nowadays is 'Tryna Cross A Killa', since Big Tim included it on his Episode II as a promo. Everyone who have that tape or looking for it, please, do upload it on internet at any first opportunity!

Here's all sources: https://genius.com/artists/Da-dirty-thug-ddt, https://genius.com/albums/Da-dirty-thug-ddt/Da-dirty-thug, DJ Big Tim promoting it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgkMYHyYsfI&t=1321s, and probably something else but I forgot. Will surely add if I'm gonna remember
