Beastie Boys —
Licensed To Ill ... CD Def Jam/Columbia, 1986. Used ... $3.99
The game changing Def Jam classic – and possibly the greatest album by the Beastie Boys – even though they'd grow up a whole lot after this! Profane party anthems galore, and the Beasties would distance themselves from much of the attitude of this album, making their career arc from ... 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
John Fekner City Squad —
Idioblast 1983 to 2004 ... CD Modern Harmonic, 1984. New Copy 2CD ... $25.99 26.99
The overlooked legacy of John Fekner – a New York artist who works here in the world of hip hop and electro soul – on tunes that are sometimes infused with lyrics that refer to the art concepts that inspire his creations!

Fugees —
Score ... CD Columbia, 1996. Used ... $3.99
The record that really broke The Fugees out of the box – not their debut, but the album where everything really came together – especially the fantastic mix of vocals and MC work that Lauryn Hill brought to the group! The album was a key bridge between hip hop and soul back in the day ... read more CD

F*ck What You Think (Japanese pressing – with bonus track) ... CD Wild Pitch/P-Vine (Japan), 1994. New Copy ... $14.99 24.99
A long-delayed album from Main Source – one that was recorded back in the early 90s, but never really saw the light of day until 5 years later – a record that features a revised version of the group, but still working with all the best energy that made them so wonderful on their debut! ... read more CD
Main Source —
Science (with bonus track) ... CD P-Vine (Japan), Early 90s. New Copy ... $18.99 22.99
The never-issued second album from Main Source – and a set that's a very worthy successor to their classic Breaking Atoms! As with that record, the production here is superb – Large Professor at his best, with all the right sort of early 90s jazz influence in the samples, balanced with ... read more CD
Also available Science ... LP 29.99
