Mister Jason Has A Posse Limited 10″

One of the more highly anticipated pieces of wax for 2011 has finally arrived at my doorstep this afternoon. The lead single from Mister Jason’s “Frankensteez” album showcases 26 quality MCs trading clever one liners under their assigned letter from the Alphabet. J Zone of course gets the impossible task of rhyming with the letter Z at the end. This 10″ is also limited to 144 copies and pressed on green wax. Here you’ll find the vocal, instrumental, & acapella for “Mister Jason Has A Posse” as well as “Black Angel” and three other non album tracks. You can purchase your copy at www.undergroundhiphop.com

Damu The Fudgemunk “Overthrone” 7″

I’ve been standing by the mailbox for the past few days anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new Damu 7″ for obvious reasons. Well one is reason is because my mailman leaves packages anywhere he chooses like in the bushes, but the main reason is for the music. On this one you’ll find two superbly produced instrumental tracks. The “All Green” track you might remember as the instrumental version to Damu’s Army Fatigue Rap Remix found on the bonus Alexander Green Project 7″. Very nice indeed.

Biz Markie “Turn Tha Party Out” Paul Nice Remix 7″

I remember listening to this version of the Biz’s, “Turn Tha Party Out” off a Paul Nice mixtape a few years ago thinking to myself, damn did I miss another exclusive promo or some kind of white label for this one somewhere?! I later learned that this particular remix was never officially released on any format (which was kind of a relief) until recently. Now thanks to Slice Of Spice Records and Paul Nice, a limited number of these records with the lost remix have been released on standard black vinyl as well as a more exclusive pressing on hot pink wax for the record nerds like myself. Very nice! For more info or to purchase Slice Of Spice product, visit Slice Of Spice Records

Grap Luva “Neva Done” on Redef

It’s really hard to go from a Grap Luva record, to listening to another new release for me. Why? Because musically the bar is just set so high by Grap Luva and crew that anything else is like drinking a glass flat soda. Tonight I’ve been listening to the title track, “Neva Done” produced by Kev Brown over and over again and it brings a huge smile to my face every time. I feel refreshed! Thanks Redef and Slice Of Spice for releasing quality music. I can’t wait for the wax!

Raekwon “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx” Instrumentals

Here’s a record I put on my want list years ago after hearing rumors of an actual copy floating around somewhere out there. And nobody I knew had a copy to confirm the swirling rumors-or even seen a copy in the flesh for that matter. I couldn’t even find any photos, or closed auction listings selling the original LP online either. So I really wasn’t sure if the wax actually existed outside of a CD version and various bootleg vinyl pressings.
If it did exist, surely someone out there had to have one-no? So the record remained a mythical piece of Hip Hop history for me since Loud Records first released the vocal version back in 1995. But thanks to a fellow vinyl junky, a copy was recently unearthed at shop somewhere in Europe. On the original pressing you’ll find the STERLING stamp etched in the runout groove with the Wu Tang Records label. Mystery solved.

Slum Village “Fantastic Vol.2″ Instrumentals

Fatbeats and Ne’Astra Music group have finally released the entire “Fantastic Vol.2″ album on wax in a deluxe 3LP set with limited edition poster. Essential!

Flex Mathews “The Handsome Grandson” Maxi 12″ Single

Yesterday on my record shopping excursion I stumbled upon a promo copy of the Flex Mathews 12″ single. This record right here was Damu The Fudgemunk’s wax debut before all the youtube fame and Redef releases. He produces the entire record. Beats are dope as you would expect from Damu, while Flex’s mic skills are also solid. Its a dope record. Comes in plain white sleeve.

The Cookers “Hermano (Keep On)” 7″

Yesterday I took a 45 minute drive to a local record shop where I usually go to when all the other stores around me are dried up and I can’t find SHIT! Its a long drive but usually worth the trip because in the past I’ve pulled some rare stuff out of there and they always seem to have a good supply of Hip Hop. So on my way out of the shop with a stack of goodies under my arm, I decide to flip through the Hip Hop 7″ section and found this single that I’ve been looking for for at least two years now. Its produced by a local producer named Lynn Ness and was released on his New Medina label. Its a dope record and was limited to 150 copies. Check it out.

Damu The Fudgemunk “When The Winter Comes” Instrumental 7″

If you purchased the last Damu 7″ featuring Buff 1 on vocals, you might want to purchase a copy of this new 7″ featuring the instrumentals. Yes it’s another limited release and pressed on clear blue vinyl with the “Truly Get Yours” instrumental on the flip. To get a copy visit www.fatbeats.com as it looks to be already sold out in the Redef Shop.
