Heavy Rhyme Experience Vol 1 ... CD Delicious Vinyl/Capitol, 1992. Used ... Just Sold Out!

Platform ... CD Capitol, 2000. Used ... $3.99
Neo-classic boombap from Dilated Peoples –a team rooted strongly in time-honored group rap, compelling beats and turntablism – setting out to live up to the classic craft rather than re-invent the wheel, and deliver the goods track for track here! Not quite as nostalgic as the more ... read more CD

Divine Styler —
Spiral Walls Containing Autumns Of Light ... CD Giant, 1992. Used ... $9.99
This is really some different sh*t.

Don't Sweat The Technique ... CD MCA, 1992. Used ... Just Sold Out!
The fourth and final Eric B & Rakim LP from their classic mid 80s to early 90s run – with some of Rakim's finest rhymes and most devasting delivery to date, and some of Eric B's best production, too!

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!

Probably the most hyped hip hop album by rock critics of the last decade – but don't hold that against Stankonia, because these ghetto grooves from planet P-Funk were exactly what world needed in 2000!
