The amazing debut single from Nas with classic production from Large Professor, and possibly the most acccurate intro ad-lib of all-time, as Nas would indeed cause mass hysteria shortly after this release with the opus that is Illmatic! (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
The top of the heap from the indie class of '96, where Jean Grae, then known as What What got her start. Dope rhymes over smooth, spare beats, from the prime years of the East coast underground. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record

Another cut takin' you on a tour of the five boroughs, with guest vocals by DV alias Khrist. Probably these guys' best single, from their early days, with a sort of sung chorus that reminds us a bit of BoneThugs & Harmony, but in a good way, if you can imagine that. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Debut single from Sage Francis & Joe Beats, and still a highlight from the late indie days, with clever wordplay, strong delivery, and blazing beatmaking. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
A rare slice of Nujabes – his reworking of the Samurai Champloo theme, but in this really stripped down, moody instrumental – very nice piano solo in the middle, over beats that move back and forth with the "phase" you might expect! "Rainy Way Back Home" has more of ... (Hip Hop) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
No matter what you think of what's become of the gangsta genre, 2 classics, served up in extended mixes, plus the non LP cut, "A Bitch Iz A Bitch"! (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
The foundation of the sound that would rule hip hop throughout the 90s. Nice production from Dre, back when he was dropping more funk-sample based tracks, and plenty of attitude on the mic from Cube, Eazy and Ren. Off the Straight Outta Compton LP. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record

A fantastic funky sound library gem – one that begins with this wicked fast drum break over riffing guitar – while Gianni Oddi starts to warm things up with sweet keyboards, and then snakes in a tenor sax solo too!

Two from the "All We Got Iz Us" LP. The usual scowling Onyx MC style, but the production on Last Days has a more low-tempo, late-night sound than the usual Onyx material. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
