Wild Pitch/P-Vine (Japan), 1991. New Copy ... $18.99 28.99
One of our favorite cuts ever from Main Source – the tremendous "Looking At The Front Door", a tune that rides strongly on a great Donald Byrd sample to give it a righteous jazzy groove! Single also includes "Snake Eyes" from the Breaking Atoms LP – and the feel of ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
P-Vine (Japan), Early 90s. New Copy ... $29.99 36.99
The never-issued second album from Main Source – and a set that's a very worthy successor to their classic Breaking Atoms! As with that record, the production here is superb – Large Professor at his best, with all the right sort of early 90s jazz influence in the samples, balanced with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

The last full album ever put together by Tupac – a set issued under the name Makaveli, which may have become a wider-used stage name – had the rapper not been taken from the world before the album saw the light of day! Yet unlike some other posthumous albums, this one was still fully ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Mad 13 (Japan), 2023. New Copy 2LP ... $44.99 54.99
The album's great cover image is an homage to the Death Wish soundtrack by Herbie Hancock, and Mantle references 70s funk group Mandrill in his name – but the sound here is very different than either of those two references might make you expect, more in a contemporary hip hop vein, but ...

First Priority, 1993. Near Mint- ... $4.99
The LP and midnight mixes have that commercial friendly eazy jazz sound. The gangsta mix (not 'gangsta' at all) is completely different, and ends up sounding like something from the days when Lyte was dope. 12-inch, Vinyl record

First Priority, 1991. Very Good+ ... $2.99
Extended version of the track from Lyte's second LP. With a similar subject to "Cram to Understand", but the production style leans a little bit toward new jack swing and has singing on the chorus. 12-inch, Vinyl record

Sweet lost electro EP on Sunnyview with lots of great synth bass and ping ponging drum machine.

The first full length from MF Doom – a record that set the standard for underground hip hop to come!
