A real sleeper from the late 90s scene – a set that maybe didn't grab the charts as much as some of its major label hip hop contemporaries, but which has a lot more lasting power overall! There's a sense of variety to the songs here that's great – different themes, different modes, and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Think what you want about DJ Quik, the west coast hip hopper is a key part of the sound of his scene in the 90s – and also maybe one of the most dedicated to the legacy of old school funk as well! This album's overflowing with wonderful samples – work by Cameo, Parliament, One Way, ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Recent UK Be With reissue in a stickered sleeve.)
(White label promo in a Profile sleeve. Labels have a small sticker spot and some marks in red marker. Sleeve has some ring and edge wear, price sticker remnants, and a small torn portion in the die-cut.)
Features Paul McCartney, Kate Bush, Boy George, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Bonnie Tyler, Bananarama, Gary Moore, Mark Knopfler, and many others. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Another one of those novelty records Profile was putting out in the mid-80's. Similar to "Inspector Gadget" with the Batman theme and lots of cut-up vocals. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Tough, righteous rap from King Sun – 1989's XL – a set that still looms large after all these years! King Sun dropped knowledge from a Five Percenter influence with a flow that's as smooth, solid and authoritive as any Bronx rapper of the day – and the production by Sun Born ... read moreCD
Another nice mid-80's Profile MC that somehow never put out a full length LP. It really is a shame. Probably our favorite use of the James Brown "Talkin Loud" sample. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Like the other PRT classics, "Shakiyla" features the always dope combination of rhymes from Wise Intelligent and production from Tony D. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Featuring "Outstanding", "Turn It Out", "Hype it Up", "Get Up & Have A Good Time", "War", and "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing". LP, Vinyl record album
This might not be the most important or vital album in the history of hip hop – but it's got some unstoppable party jams that can't be denied! "It Takes Two" will always be guaranteed to rock any party – and if Rob Base on the mic isn't anything to write home about, at the ... read moreCD
One of the first hip hop singles that really made the crossover to dancefloor play. By this point, everyone's heard the sample three million times, but it's still holds up better than most of the uptempo cuts from that era. 12-inch, Vinyl record
An important early 90s moment for Run DMC – as the set has one of the first big major hip hop acts of the 80s, retuning themselves slightly for the new decade – in part by opening the door to added guests and producers for the record! The core energy that makes the trio so great is ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(30th Anniversary edition, on red and white/black and white colored vinyl!)
Run-DMC's great second album, with rock hard production by Russell Simmons and classic cuts! It's fascinating to listen to this album all these years later, with the knowledge that this hungry hip hop act from Queens was so soon to conquer the world. Great stuff from a legendary crew! This is ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A once underappreciated later effort from the mighty Run DMC – with slightly harder hitting beats, and an overall tougher style – and it's ultimately the crew's last solid beginning-to-end LP! A worthy set that includes "Mary, Mary", "Beats To The Rhyme", "Run's ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A set issued relatively early in the history of rap music – yet one that's still maybe one of the greatest-ever Christmas collection of hip hop tracks for the season!
