Nice & Smooth —
Nice & Smooth ... CD Priority, 1989. Used ... $8.99
One of our favorite hop hop records from the end of the 80s – a set that sprang onto the scene out of nowhere and instantly won us over! They're not exactly the same, but we'd like to think of Nice & Smooth in the same space as De La Soul and Tribe Called Quest – because, like ... read more CD

De La Soul —
De La Soul Is Dead ... CD Tommy Boy, 1991. Used ... Just Sold Out!
The epic second De La Soul album – a slightly deeper record than the upbeat 3 Feet High And Rising, but to us it's just as irrefutably classic – and among the best hip hop full lengths ever!

Two from the second Fugees LP.
