Ill Communication ... CD Grand Royal, 1994. Used ... $2.99
What can we say? The Beasties rise to an even higher level with their manic trio hip hop style mixed with the live jazz/funk/garage rock sounds and keyboards by Money Mark – featuring a bunch of their classic hits and underappreciated album cuts alike. They could really do no wrong at this ... read more CD

Blu & Shafiq Husayn —
Out Of The Blue ... CD Nature Sounds, 2024. New Copy ... $14.99 15.99
The cover looks all sort of soft and dreamy, but the record has a bite from the very first second – beginning with an old school news report about gang violence in LA, then serving up a gritty set of rhymes from Blu that really live up to the glory days of west coast hardcore hip hop! Shafiq ... read more CD

Elzhi & Oh No —
Heavy Vibrato ... CD Nature Sounds, 2024. New Copy ... $12.99 14.99
Elzhi serves up plenty of great lyrical work here, but our favorite aspect of the record may be the work of Oh No – who definitely takes the title seriously, and uses plenty of vibes throughout! This may well be the best vibes-driven hip hop project we've ever heard – as each track has ... read more CD
Greyboy —
Freestylin' ... CD Ubiquity, 1993. Used ... Just Sold Out!
The dope first LP, still one of the best mixtures of jazz and hip hop instrumentals! Unlike so many of the weak cats out there, Greyboy always delivers a solid jazz outing, with strong, well-executed solos that make his records so much more than just boring old beats and samples. Lots of hard ... (Deep Funk, Hip Hop) read more CD

Various —
All Natural Inc Anthology Vol 1 ... CD All Natural, Late 90s-Mid 2000s. Used ... $4.99
A nice sampler of Chicago hip hop surrounding the All Natural Family Tree! It's tough to find a fault with this collection.
