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
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
With Trina and Twista on "Do It Faster"; Common, Black Thought, and Joi on "In The Sun"; and Peter Gunz and Jayo Felony on "Bounce". (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Produced by Dr Dre. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Promo in a stickered sleeve.)

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
(Promo in an AVI sleeve, with light waer and aging, split top seam, and small tear and split at the bottom right corner. Label has light smudges and price sticker remnants.)
A split Motown single, featuring an artist on each side, and tracks that are definitely designed to cash in on the dancefloor cash! The Originals step out in a full disco mode with "Downtown To Love Town" – a swirling number that's filled with lots of strings, and which boogies on ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Outkast's first single from Aquemini – one of the great southern hip hop singles of the late 90s and an important creative benchmark for Big Boi, Andre 3000 and Organized Noize however you might feel about their use of the civil rights heroine's name! As fresh, soulful & uniquely Outkast ... (Hip Hop) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Two great Billy Paul tracks on one nice reissue single, perhaps his most well known single, the slow jam "Me & Mrs, Mrs Jones. . ." and his remake of Jerry Butler's classic, both produced by Gamble & Huff. (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Ah for the mid 80s, when a song like this passed for politics in music! Forget the stupid message lyrics, though, and remember that Hardcastle cracked a lot of scenes with the cut – forging kind of a pop-political-street beat kind of groove. (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
A bit later than classic vintage for Teddy Pendergrass – but a great little tune nonetheless – and one that has his incredible voice crackling beautifully over this warmly dipping groove! The Phat Phili mix is especially wonderful – as it changes the Soul II Soul-styled rhythms ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A grimy bouncer from Pete Rock and Dead Prez! Pete Rock lays down some dirty piano loop, heavy drum funk on this track – with this terse, violin and string loop on the hook that kinda bumps this thing like the Psycho soundtrack has gone hip hop! Dead Prez leaves the revolutionary politicin' ... (Hip Hop) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Pic sleeve version of this 12", with remixes of "Passin' Me By" and "Otha Fish" by LA Jay. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Early 00s reissue. Cover has some ring and edge wear, light smudges from sticker removal at the top right, and is lightly bent at the sides. Label on B Side has remnants from a large sticker.)
Another in the Supperrappin series – the first solo single from Phife of A Tribe Called Quest with two tracks produced by Jay-Dee. Phife's verses and the production on "Bend Ova" are a little harder than his material with ATCQ. But on "Thought U Wuz Nice" the production ... (Hip Hop) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A killer groove – and a legendary jazzy single from the Chicago scene! The cut was licensed from Disco Magic in Italy, and it's presented here in the US Hillbilly House pressing, which includes the monster "piano groove" mix, the kind of jazzy instrumental that's pure Chicago ...
