(Promo in an Arista sleeve.)
Mo Wax, 1996. Used ... $4.99
It seems like when this came out, critics, and even DJs liked to drop the term "Trip Hop" whenever possible, and this album was held up as the watershed mark. A few years down the line and it still holds up, but as an instrumental hip hop LP, as much as a rock album (Shadow's gone on to ... read more CD

An incredibly well-captured set by the legendary DJ Shadow, Live In Manchester in October of 2017 – and come to think of it, the live album format is pretty underutilized in hip hop – who better than Shadow to pull it off so well!

Redefinition, 2018. New Copy ... $21.99 23.98
DJ Spinna's third and maybe best beat tape yet for the Redefinition label! It's head nodding beatcraft with raw soul power, but going deeper than that with some seriously deft use of samples and layered atmospheric elements. The beats clap and the bass bounces, keeping it in straight forward boom ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

All the samples used in DJ Woody's Flexicuts 3 and 4 – served up here on a special album of skip-proof scratch phrases!

Def Jam/Universal (Italy), 2002. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)... $22.99
The classic single! "X Gon' Give It To Ya" kicks of loudly but loose, a horns and a growly intro from DMX before falling into that steady beat and DMX balancing wild energy and on beat control. We paired with the equally huge "Party Up" (Up Here)" on the flip. 12-inch, Vinyl record

Streetwise, 1984. Very Good (pic cover)... Just Sold Out!
One of our favorite tunes from the old school – a beautiful blend of vocoder vocals, sinister keyboards, and some cool splashy beats!

Seriously distinctive, certain to stand the test of time underground hip hop from Seattle's DoNormaal!

Reality, 1986. Very Good+ ... $6.99
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, and the dark lyrics about death match the mood of the music. 12-inch, Vinyl record

Dr Dre —
2001 Instrumental ... CD Aftermath/Interscope, 1999. Used ... $6.99
We probably liked Dre's comeback LP better than we'd like to admit, and a helluva of a lot more so stripped of the often relentlessly boring braggadocio of Dre's own rhymes, and the bevy of sub par guest MCs. Nothing here but those minimal, hissing beats and sandy synth washes that make Dre great. ... read more CD

Earl Sweatshirt's first new album in a few years, and right up there with his best ever!
