Two nice ones from the late great Big L, one of the 90's most unfairly slept-on MC's – with straight-ahead production from Mike Heron of the Ghetto Pros and Roc Raida, and a Big L bio in the liner notes on the back. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
With Big Daddy Kane and production by DJ Premier on "Platinum Plus", and with C-Town and production by Hi-Tek on "Still Here". (Hip Hop) 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 ... (Hip Hop) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Two cuts from the acclaimed Funcrusher Plus LP, plus instrumentals, and another mix of 8 Steps that's similar to the original single version, but less noisey than the LP version. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(In the original clear plastic jacket with cardboard picture insert.)
To us, there's too few tracks about graffitti writing but Complany Flow make up for the deficit with "End To End Burners." With a nice sepia-tone front and back cover by the legendary Phase 2 that compliments the dense, abstract, on-beat/off-beat Co Flo sound. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
One of the masterpieces of mid 90s indie hip hop – the classic Funcrusher Plus from El P & Big Jus – a record that took an artier, icier and jagged production that would go on the a harbinger for the early Def Jux sound, even though this one was on Rawkus at the time! Includes ... (Hip Hop) read moreCD
This double LP of instrumental tracks from Company Flow, produced by Mr Len and El Producto, features less of the distorted crashing beats style of some of their early material, and more of the atmospheric-hypnotic style. We're not quite sure what to think, but in some ways these tracks wouldn't ... (Hip Hop) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a small cutout hole and is bumped at the bottom of the spine.)
Debut full-length from the always smooth DJ Spinna – with guest spots by Missin Linx on "Who U Be", Apani B Fly MC and Talib Kweli on "Time Zone", and Eminem and Thistin Howell III on "Watch Dees" and some instrumental cuts to round out the album.

Mos Def's landmark late 90s solo debut – a rock solid classic that stands up today as one of the best hip hop albums of its decade – and for all the dizzying creative highs and lows of his career to follow, it stands strongly among his best work ever. His preceding duo work with Talib ... (Hip Hop) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Internal Affairs ... LP Rawkus, 1999. Near Mint- 2LP ...
Temporarily Out Of Stock
The fantastic solo debut of Pharoahe Monch – served up after a few years of guest appearances that were really raising our ears to his mighty talents! The Pharoahe returns the favor here – inviting in guest versions from Common, Talib Kweli, Canibus, Apani B Fly, Busta Rhymes, MOP, and ... (Hip Hop) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
All the instrumentals from the Internal Affairs LP – including the classic "Simon Says" – on two LPs for better sound. Most of the tracks are produced by Pharoahe Monch, and the rest are produced by DJ Scratch and Diamond. (Hip Hop) LP, Vinyl record album
One of the earliest singles on Rawkus, and his first for them before a string of dope guest appearances and several more underground hits. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
On top of releasing some of the very best independent hip hop of the 90s, Rawkus Records did another great service to humanity with this – the double vinyl companion to Ego Trip's Book of Rap Lists! They did a great job of including a lot of amazing old school tracks (1983-1989) that maybe ... (Hip Hop) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
