I’ve been meaning to pick this one up for a while now from one of a small number of online retailers carrying the record. But I’ve been preoccupied with many other vinyl purchases at the moment. Mostly from Ebay-You know how that goes haha. But finally I was able to grab a copy through a [...]

I’m digging this record a lot. It’s quite different from your average Hip Hop instrumental LP in the way Hubert constructs his beats here. His beats range from mellow Jazz grooves with light airy keys, to rhythmic Bossa and Latin styles driven by light drumming, horns, and heavy bass tones. You get some boom bap [...]

Today my instincts payed off as I found a copy of “Wu Tang Forever” instrumentals on wax for less than $5. I’ve never seen a copy of this before and I’ve never heard of a copy like this in existence. A huge plus too as it looks unplayed-a minty copy of what appears to [...]

Previously only available on CD format (like most of Kankick’s albums) “Beautiful Opus…” has recently surfaced on limited edition wax through www.hhv.de. Only 500 of these records were pressed and only available through HHV as well a couple other online retailers over seas. I tell you, Kankick is one of my favorite producers but his [...]

The reviews are out so I can’t really say much more than what has already been said over the internet about Damu’s production and the beats contained on these two volumes. I don’t want to be preaching to the choir on this one. All I can say now is go out and get it! Limited [...]

So now there are two versions of the same record out there on Stones Throw . This particular version comes with a bonus 12″ featuring about six more cuts not found on the regular release. Cover is screen printed and number stamped in a variety of color ways (Stones Throw for more info). Worth [...]

Seems as if the “Hi Hat Club” series on MPM just keeps getting better and better! Here on volume 3, Dexter delivers a real tribute to Jazz through beats constructed from a pallet of mellow Jazz tunes and vocal samples about the genre of Jazz. Transitioning these beats from one another through interludes and skits [...]

In stores this week, Strong Arm Steady’s “In Search Of Stoney Jackson” Instrumentals. What can I say, it’s MadLib beats. Love the cover art too haha.

Q Tip is still one of my favorite artists to this day. And if you stop and really think about how many classic songs he’s been involved with as an MC and producer over the years-it’s pretty mind blowing. And still, I can’t help but wonder how things would’ve been different if Q Tip never [...]
