Rhymesayers, 2014. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $24.99
The eighth album (!!!) from MN hip hop lifers Atmosphere – one of the most consistent, reliable duos in the game – and Southsiders is another honest, moody gem.

MCA, 1988. Very Good ... $9.99
One of those album's you have to love – not only because it's extra dope, but because it's a slept on gem by one of hip hop's pioneers – one that keeps it real in a sense that seems lost so many years down the line!

Like It Should Be ... LP Jive, 1994. Very Good+ ... $14.99
