Only For Dolphins ... LP Loma Vista, 2020. New Copy Gatefold ... $21.99 22.99
A dolphin welcomes the listener to the record – a sign that you're clearly in for something different than usual – and that sense of whimsy returns throughout, in a mix of rhythms, sound samples, and other elements that all stand as a nice contrast to the more straightforward rhymes in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Vagina Diner ... LP Interscope, 1993. Near Mint- ... $59.99
The debut of Akinyele – delivering a nice, raw, gritty record for major label Interscope circa the early 90s – a bit overlooked all these years later, but a damn solild record by distinctive emcee!

To All My Friends, Blood Makes The Blade – The Atmosphere Eps ... LP Rhymesayers, 2010. New Copy 2LP ... $21.99

Bentley/blocGLOBAL, 1989. New Copy (reissue)... $21.99 27.99
A great indie set from the early years of the gangsta scene – a record that was maybe overlooked a bit at the time, and which maybe was trying a bit too hard with its posed cover image – but which, after the passage of years, has this great sort of upfront, earnest approach to the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
