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! The ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
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
AZ's excellent debut, in the mid 90s QB style that followed in the wake of Nas' succesful debut. Includes "Uncut Raw", "Gimme Your's", "Rather Unique", "Sugar Hill", "Doe Or Die", "We Can't Win" and "Your World Don't Stop", with ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Blockhead still delivering the goods after and a solid decade and a half delivering distinctive, solo producer driven independent hip hop! Free Sweatpants is a pretty straightforward (and wisely timeless in sound, even if some the track titles give away the late teens era) headnodding hip hop ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
An obscure single taking off from a groove borrowed loosely off Zapp's "More Bounce To The Ounce" and adding a sort of quasi-rap vocal over top, that sounds more like George Clinton type vocalese than any sort of hip hop. 12-inch, Vinyl record
11 tracks in all, including "Do It","I'm Serious", "I Need You", "Come With Me", "Best In The West", "Clubbin'", "Cat Got Ya Tongue", "The Mob" and "She Wanted To Share Her Lovin'". LP, Vinyl record album

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
We never tire of the Bumpy Knuckles/Freddie Foxx in your face battle style, and it seems like Pete Rock turns in some more pumped up beats than usual for Bumpy to ride. The b-side, produced by Alchemist is no slouch either. 12-inch, Vinyl record

(Original pressing. NOTE – Cover is wrinkled from moisture on the bottom half.)
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
Lots of nice DJ work by D.St. using records like "Crazy Cuts", "Escapades of Futura 2000", "Wild Style", "Zulu Groove" and lots of goofy samples. 12-inch, Vinyl record

A post-millennium gem from Dabyre that holds up incredibly well – and an nice littel selection of dub influenced beats and abstract hip hop instruementals!

A prime rarity from the Dam-Funk archives – showing his mastery of easygoing boogie funk era-inspired instrumentals was in near peak form even on what was originally issued as a tour-only CD-R!

Danny's bugged out approach to ... 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
(Original CBS/Tuff City pressing with a blue label. Labels have a name in pen.)
Female rap group featuring Finesse, formerly of Finesse & Synquis, N-Tyce & Champ MC (with J-Boo). Sort of styling themselves as a female Wu Tang, and loosely associated with them. 12-inch, Vinyl record
