Street Level (2LP remastered edition with bonus track) ... LP 
Relativity/Traffic, 1994. Near Mint- 2LP ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
The first Beatnuts full length LP - and as a double LP for superior sound – raw NYC hip hop at it's early-to-mid 90s finest! Raw, funky and jazzy beatcraft that's pretty much a blueprint for some of our east coast hip hop of the era, with sharp, on point rhymes, this one's a pure classic and ...

Big Maybelle Got A Brand New Bag (LP sleeve edition) ... CD 
Rojac/Traffic, 1967. New Copy ... $7.99 16.98
Big Maybelle's got a new bag – and we like it! This tasty set was cut for the tiny Rojac label in between Maybelle's earlier years at Savoy and later albums on Brunswick – and it's got a swinging, 60s mod sort of style that's pretty darn groovy, baby! The arrangements are by Bob Gallo ... (Soul) read more CD
(In a very cool Japanese-styled, LP-like cardboard sleeve cover!)
Rojac/Traffic, 1967. New Copy ... $7.99 16.98
A great set that may well be Big Maybelle's best record ever – really rare work that's quite different than her famous work of the 50s! The set was recorded in the Criteria studios in Miami – and it's got a cool southern soul sound that's part Bobby Blue Bland bluesy soul, and part ... (Soul) read more CD
(In a very cool Japanese-styled, LP-like cardboard sleeve cover!)
B-Boy/Traffic, 1987. New Copy ... $6.99 14.98

Camp Lo —
Uptown Saturday Night ... LP Profile/Traffic, 1997. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A real sleeper from the late 90s scene – a set that maybe didn't grab the charts as much as some of its major label hip hop contemporaries, but which has a lot more lasting power overall! There's a sense of variety to the songs here that's great – different themes, different modes, and ... (Hip Hop) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Sleeping Bag/Traffic, 1988. New Copy ... $6.99 14.98
Maybe the crowning achievement of DJ Cash Money – a sharp DJ from the early Philly scene – and a talent who was every bit as great at the time on as Jazzy Jeff on the wheels of steel! Cash is paired here with Marvelous, an MC whose sense of wit really matches the sharpness of the ... (Hip Hop) read more CD

Nat Dove & The Devils —
Petey Wheatstraw ... CD Magic Disc/Traffic, 1977. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
One of the funkiest blacksploitation soundtracks of the 70s – a rare indie gem from Nat Dove & The Devils! Dove's got a style that's a lot rougher and rootsier than other soundtrack artists of the 70s – an approach that's more based in the modes of the indie funk underground of the ... (Soul) read more CD
Paul Winley/Traffic, 1976/1996. New Copy ... $7.99 16.98
A legendary album – and for good reason too – a set that's as mysterious as it is funky, and a record that's stayed at the top of our crates for years! The album features a really unusual collective of musicians, pulled together under the guidance of producer Paul Winley – a ... (Soul) read more CD

Done By The Forces Of Nature (Special Edition with bonus CD) ... CD Warner/Traffic, 1989. Used 2 CDs ... Out Of Stock
Ahh, the glory days of the Native Tongues. Remember a time when dropping knowledge and keeping rumps bumpin' weren't mutually exclusive? This sophomore LP from the J Beez is a smorgasbord of funky breaks, jazzy samples and lyrical niceness from the golden era of hip hop. An unimpeachable hip hop ... (Hip Hop) read more CD
Fresh/Traffic, 1986. New Copy ... $6.99 14.98
Just-Ice wasn't actually part of the old school – although to some, the 1986 release might seem pretty darn close – but he definitely does a good job here of keeping things nice and clean on his classic debut! Production is from Mantronik, but there's also a harder edge than most of ... (Hip Hop) read more CD

JVC Force —
Doin' Damage (expanded version) ... CD B-Boy/Traffic, 1987. Used ... Out Of Stock
A well-remembered set from JVC Force – a group who were maybe most notable at the time as being one of the best labelmates of Boogie Down Productions on B-Boy Records – and who should have been able to give the world a lot more music than they did, thanks to the strength of this album! ...

King Sun —
XL (special edition with bonus tracks) ... CD Profile/Traffic, 1989. New Copy ... $7.99 16.98
Tough, righteous rap from King Sun – 1989's XL – a set that still looms large after all these years! King Sun dropped knowledge from a Five Percenter influence with a flow that's as smooth, solid and authoritive as any Bronx rapper of the day – and the production by Sun Born ...

Elektra/Traffic, 1991. New Copy 2 LPs (reissue)... $28.99 32.99
A hell of a record from the early 80s scene – a set that many folks slept on when first released, yet a record that's gone on to be every bit as classic as work from De La Soul or Tribe Called Quest in their prime! Of course, part of the album's fame has expanded over the years – as ... (Hip Hop) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Elektra/Traffic, 1991. New Copy ... $6.99 15.98
The amazing debut of those most hyperactive of the Native Tongues, the short-lived, ultra fresh Leaders Of The New School! Busta & Co. splintered apart after just two albums, but this will always be a shiny trophy in the mantle with the all time freshest East Coast hip hop. It sounds great to ... (Hip Hop) read more CD
Traffic/Crate Diggas Palace, 2004. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $26.99 30.99
Way more than just a set of "lost tapes" – but that's what we've come to expect for any project that involves Madlib – an artist for whom even the smallest of moments is a thing of greatness! Lootpack are the trio that first helped Madlib rise to fame in the 90s – ... (Hip Hop) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Mighty Tom Cats —
Soul Makossa (LP sleeve edition) ... CD Winley/Traffic, 1974. Used ... Out Of Stock
A great lost bit of funk – and a pretty mysterious record, too! The record came out hot on the heels of Manu Dibango's big original version of "Soul Makossa" – and while it's got a groove that definitely leans towards Afro Funk, it's also got plenty of Caribbean touches too ... (Soul) read more CD

Rudy Ray Moore —
Human Tornado (LP sleeve edition) ... CD Traffic, 1976. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A funky funky follow-up to Rudy Ray Moore's classic Dolemite film – and a soundtrack that offers even more depth than the first one! The music here is a hip blend of gritty funk and some of the groovier soundtrack styles of the 70s – almost a blend of the sounds you might normally hear ... (Soul) read more CD
Rudy Ray Moore —
This P*ssy Belongs To Me – The Second Rudy Ray Moore Album ... CD Kent/Traffic, Early 70s. Used ... Out Of Stock
Rudy Ray Moore's second album, and almost hipper than the first – thanks to some key musical backings from The Fillmore St Soul Rebellion!

Dolemite ... CD Generation International/Traffic, 1975. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Quite possibly THE mother of all funky soundtracks – the legendary score to Rudy Ray Moore's classic first Dolemite film!

Tay-Ster/Traffic, 1969. New Copy ... $3.99 16.98
Don't get this set mixed up with Clarence Reid's album of a similar name on Alston/Atco – as this rare date for the Tayster label is quite different – although it still shares the famous title track! Reid's in perfect rough-edged form here – almost more strongly southern soul ... (Soul) read more CD

Hiero Imperium/Traffic, 1993. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... About June 1, 2023
A record that may have the year 1993 permanently locked into its title – but a set that's got more than enough strength to survive strongly over the decades – the first great statement from Cali giants Souls Of Mischief, and a record that would set the tone for the Hiero Imperium scene ...

Muddy Waters —
Can't Get No Grindin ... CD Chess/Traffic, 1973. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Muddy Waters can't get no grinding – but that's hardly a problem, given the strength of this sweet early 70s set! The album marks Muddy's return to more basic Chicago blues after his funky electric period on Chess – but the set's still got some of the trippier touches of a few years ... (Blues) read more CD
Chess/Traffic, 1950s/1960s. New Copy ... $4.99 14.98
A late 60s album on Chess Records – but one that serves to bring together all the best early work that Muddy Waters did for the label – including lots of original 45s and 78s! The range of music is really wonderful – the kind of tracks that first got Waters noticed in the first ... (Blues) read more CD
Muddy Waters —
Sail On (aka The Best Of Muddy Waters) ... CD Chess/Traffic, Early 50s. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
