Action Bronson with a no nonsense approach on his second proper full length – also serving as an entry Blue Chips mixtape series – bringing a stripped to the core, rugged and raw style that's more than welcome at a time when he's a legit media personality when not spitting rhymes!

Alchemist mixing up hypnotic aural elixirs in ways we've never heard from the legendary hip hop producer – working with samples, sounds and atmosphere from French jazz, funk, soundtracks and psychedelia – half a world away from the bedrock hip hop he made is name on! It's a rewarding ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A great post-disco track from the Aleem brothers, with a some very 80s production with heavy Linn drums and electro touches, and some nice soulful vocals courtesy Leroy Burgess, which are a bit buried too in the mix for our tastes. (Soul, Hip Hop)12-inch, Vinyl record

Tougher, angrier stuff than we remember from the Shadows On The Sun LP – with the usual strong production from the Ant, approximating rock and roll breaks and mood as well as anyone since earlier Cypress Hill. 12-inch, Vinyl record

A neo-electro/drug rap/crossover hip hop classic produced by the Neptunes, and the debut LP on their own Star Trak label.

Long before the KRS/Shan battles, D.ST. was claiming "Bronx is the home of hip hop" on this track. It almost has an early Whodini sound, with more MC'ing, vocoder effects, and a live rhythm section than his other dj oriented tracks like "Mega Mix 2." 12-inch, Vinyl record

Just Sold Out!
A raucous set from Detroit rhymer Danny Brown that finds that was poised to bust out pretty big like – and he's got the goods. His voice is unique, to say the least – with a kind of odd drawl that suits the semi-hinged, profane and undeniably skillful rhymes. Production by Frank Dukes ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Davy DMX's biggest hit "One For the Treble", an early DJ record, mostly instrumental where he cuts in lots sound bits including RUN-DMC, car noises and a British woman saying the title phrase over, of course, a DMX drum machine beat! 12-inch, Vinyl record
