Our favorite track from the Likwidation LP. Spare beats with a staccato piano line throughout plus the sound of rolling bottles as percussion, with a great appearance by the late great ODB! 12-inch, Vinyl record
Pure niceness. Another instant classic from Mos Def, Talib Kweli and Hi Tek. In some ways it's hard to describe what sets the Mos Def and Kweli material at least two steps above most current undergrround hip hop. Definition makes good use of BDP's chorus (and some samples) from "Stop the Violence." On "Twice Inna Lifetime" they're joined by Jane Doe, Wordsworth and Punchline. 12-inch, Vinyl record
One of our favorite tracks from the early 80s, with a sort of beeping, bouncing good time boogie track and back and forth rhymes from the Crash Crew over top. 12-inch, Vinyl record
The classic track from the Spike Lee's "Crooklyn" finally back on vinyl. What more can you ask for – Masta Ace, Special Ed, and Buckshot all at the top of their skills and production from A Tribe Called Quest. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Lead single from the then highly anticipated D&D Project, produced by DJ Premier with Mad Lion, Doug E Fresh, KRS One, Fat Joe, Smif & Wessun, and Jeru on the mic. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Posse track with verses from Afu Ra, QNC, Jane Blaze, Fat Cat Kareem, Starang Wondah, TEF, and Krumbsnatcha; with production by Curt Cazal. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Great 3-sided single that features two regular sides, plus a third side "hidden" amidst the grooves of the second side. Loads of great stuff, including "Brain Washed Follower" and "Ain't Hip to Be Labeled a Hippy". The kind of 12 inch single that makes collecting them worth while! 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Original pressing with SRC stamp, in the stickered Tommy Boy sleeve. Still includes the sticker! Sleeve has some wear and aging, and an index label with BPM. Label has BPM in pen.)
Shadow finally returns to release a record under his own name, and believe it or not, it's as much of a pop/rock record as the UNKLE LP was! We're not complaining though, because this one's got a great new wave twist to it, and on the third track of this single, Shadow's back in battle mode, with vocal cut-ups over a slower beat. CD
Unlike the normal high-energy Doug E Fresh style, as you might guess from the title "Play This Only At Night" utilizes the creepy theme from the Phantasm soundtrack! 12-inch, Vinyl record
Rhymes on "All In Together" by Baby Black, Mr Eon and Pauly Yamz, on "Captivating" by Rasheed, Mr Eon and Ill Advised and "Know A Little Nig" by Ill Advised. Beats by Mighty Mi of High & Mighty. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Classic material off the Hard To Earn album, with Lil Dap and Jeru on "Speak Ya Clout" over one of our favorite Premier productions! 12-inch, Vinyl record
