Embark on a sonic journey through the rich tapestry of Ian Lampel's multicultural heritage with his debut solo album, The Parque Rodó Tapes. From the echoes of his grandparents' wartime exodus from Europe's tumultuous past to the rhythms of daily life in Parque Rodó, Lampel's artistic vision was shaped by a kaleidoscope of influences: Science fiction and fantasy books, graphic design annuals, comics, films, early computers and videogames as well as music; the haunting melodies of Russian and Polish classical composers hummed by his grandmother while cooking, the choir and Hammond music of the synagogue, his early explorations in club music and dub or the syncopated drumming of candombe and carnaval echoing in the streets of Montevideo. The composer, producer and bass player, wrote, sequenced and recorded practically everything that is heard throughout the album. With meticulous attention to detail, he has crafted a sonic landscape that seamlessly blends elements of jazz and Uruguayan music with the innovative spirit of dub, hip-hop and electronica; from the infectious rhythms of candombe and the raw energy of murga, to breakbeats, moog's and samples. Drawing from a treasure trove of samples collected over two decades, The Parque Rodó Tapes weaves together a tapestry of sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking, from the haunting voice of Marosa Di Giorgio and the vibrant cacophony of a carnival field recording by Lauro Ayestaran, to the guest contributions from notable musicians including Lampel's wife, singer/songwriter Eco Lopez, multi-instrumentalist Luciana Giovinazzo on flute, and Ferna Nunez on repique drum. Each track is a testament to Lampel's eclectic vision. A debut album with a certain degree of melancholy that works as a soundtrack to the world in which the artist grew up, a world now gone, without cellphones or social networks, in which everything had to be proactively pursued "in the streets."

"Rakim is an American rapper best known as one half of the legendary rap duo Eric B. & Rakim. Rakim is considered a transformative figure in hip hop for raising the bar for MC technique higher than it had ever been. Rakim helped to pioneer the use of internal rhymes and multisyllabic rhymes, and he was among the first to demonstrate the possibilities of sitting down to write intricately crafted lyrics packed with clever word choices and metaphors rather than the more improvisational styles and simpler rhyme patterns that predominated before him. Rakim is also credited with creating the overall shift from the more simplistic old school flows to more complex flows. Rapper Kool Moe Dee explained that before Rakim the term "flow" wasn't widely used -- Rakim is basically the inventor of flow."

"While fighting through label limbo and placing his budding film career on freeze, Antwan 'Big Boi' Patton spent a couple years readying the artillery for his solo close-up. Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty is both a testament to the maturation of Big Boi and a tribute to his late father; underneath, it's a speakeasy at breakneck speed, sittin' on 32s. Where many other formidable MCs would be eaten alive, Big Boi shapeshifts across every mood and landscape with his trademark tenacity. He's an effortless showboat who can portray sleaze with ease, but he's a true class act who's got nothing left to prove, yet will never let it show. Flanked by his known co-conspirators and many more, Big Boi blesses the senses the way only an East Point playboy can; it's an intergenerational time warp, and another funky ride in HD. The final product is a natural progression of his Organized Noize lineage, sent across dimensions to return with an assemblage of time-tested potent Black grooves, then pressure-cooked in the kitchen of the finest booty club in Georgia. First vinyl reissue of Big Boi's proper solo debut. Pressed on 2LP purple and silver galaxy vinyl." "A monster of an album... it takes an extra special sort of swagger to pull this off." --Sean Fennessey, SPIN (9/10)

"There was no other rapper like Lupe Fiasco making this much of a splash in the mainstream in 2006. Here was this bookish kid from the 'hood who could rap circles around Jay-Z and had the gall to pose with trinkets -- a Wee Ninja doll, a Nintendo DS, a copy of the Quran, a copy of his first Fahrenheit 1/15 mixtape, a toy robot -- on the cover for his debut. He may have been an anachronism in his time, but looking back, it's easy to see how he laid the groundwork for other high-minded emcees with crossover potential. There's moments of brilliance packed into every Lupe Fiasco album, but the equilibrium of Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor has been difficult for him to recreate. To this day, it remains the most potent and well-balanced of Lupe's work, a case of the corner boy and the scholar living in an otherworldly talented rapper's brain working in perfect harmony. Lupe's acclaimed debut album, featuring 'Kick, Push' and 'Daydreamin''. Lacquers cut by Barry Grint, AIR Mastering. Pressed on exclusive 2LP purple prism vinyl. Listening notes booklet by Dylan Green."

"Return Of The Funky Man is the second album by New York legend Lord Finesse. Originally released in 1992, this album was highly anticipated after his debut on the scene just a few years prior. Having already established himself as a punch-line king capable of humorous storytelling, Return of the Funky Man cemented Finesse as a top-notch producer. Tracks such as 'Fat for the 90s' and 'I Like My Girls With A Boom' showed the Funky Man truly living up to his name, both on the mic and behind the boards. After the gruff-voiced 'Lord Finesse Intro,' the album goes on a nonstop journey of witty wordplay over genre-defining boom bap beats. Along for this ride, Finesse brings D.I.T.C. brethren Showbiz and Diamond D on the production side (plus Aladdin & SLJ) while AG and (at the time) newcomer Percee P share mic duties. Topically, Finesse doesn't stray too far from reminding us why he's earned the title The Funky Man. Whether it's bragging and boasting, or breaking down females, he has a way of doing it with a tongue-in-cheek type way that is sure to have you letting out a laugh or two every couple of lines. He possesses that rare quality of being a solo MC that is capable of entertaining throughout the entire hour plus listening experience. Standout tracks such as 'Yes You May,' 'Stop Sweating the Next Man,' and 'Party Over Here' all show why this album was instantly praised by fans and critics alike."

"Pressed on cotton-candy splash colored vinyl. Crazy Noise is the 1989 debut album by New Haven, Connecticut rapper and producer Stezo. After being a dancer for hip-hop group EPMD, Stezo signed a solo record deal with Sleeping Bag/Fresh Records and recorded this debut album. It features two charting singles: 'Freak the Funk' and 'It's My Turn,' plus fan favorites 'To The Max' and 'Bring The Horns.' Crazy Noise is chock full of crafty rhymes and original loops, and Stezo was the first person ever to use some of these more notable loops. Stezo died in his sleep on April 29, 2020, leaving behind a legacy begging to be properly commemorated. This reissue is one step in that process. Crazy Noise is an overlooked and underappreciated album that serves both as a time capsule for hip-hop's late 1980s golden era, and a lesson in keeping it real. An overlooked detail is that the album was mixed and engineered by the late great Paul C, who also produced for the Ultramagnetic MCs, Biz Markie, and Eric B and Rakim."

"With an ever-growing horde of rappers clamoring for attention, manifesting a successful long-term career in hip-hop has become an almost supernatural achievement, reserved for artists with near-mystical talents. Atlanta emcee Tha God Fahim embraces this role, positioning himself as a divine warrior with lyrical powers transcending this earthly realm, battling dark forces with tactical ingenuity and relentless dedication. This artistic vision has become even more vivid in recent years, culminating in the wildly creative series Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap with acclaimed producer Nicholas Craven. Inspired by the anime phenomenon Dragon Ball and its conception of a dimension unconstrained by the rules of time, Fahim and Craven just concluded the ambitious endeavor with a staggering fifteen volumes released in only eight months. Taken collectively, Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap forms a vital entry in Tha God Fahim's catalog, blending gritty narratives of hustle and hardship with intergalactic rhyme wizardry. Fahim's stratospheric ambitions are elevated by exquisite production from Nicholas Craven, known for his work with Roc Marciano, Mach-Hommy, Westside Gunn, Conway, Boldy James, Pink Siifu, and more. After a limited release on Bandcamp, Nature Sounds is now rolling out the Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap series on vinyl. This pressing of Volume 1 contains the full collection on side A, with the accompanying instrumentals on side B."

"In 1996, Busta Rhymes delivered his debut album, The Coming, three years after the Leaders of the New School unofficially disbanded. Though his talents were evident on those Leaders of the New School releases, Busta went on a series of features that only built up the public's desire for a solo Busta album. Right out of the gate, Busta dropped his classic debut single 'Woo Hah!! (Got You All in Check)' that made it abundantly clear he was to be mentioned among Hip Hop's greatest solo artists. The energy and originality packed on that one song set a tone for the album that displays Busta's raw talent and ability to bend words with his ever-rambunctious flow. The album features production by Easy Mo Bee, DJ Scratch, Q-Tip, and J Dilla. Songs such as 'Everything Remains Raw,' 'Abandon Ship,' and 'Still Shining' all rise above as The Coming's stand-out tracks, but 'Ill Vibe' is the album's crown jewel moment. Busta sounds right at home over this J Dilla beat, trading verses with his Native Tongue cohort Q-Tip. The Coming was a critical and commercial success for Busta Rhymes. It reached #6 on the Billboard 200 chart in 1996 and has since received a platinum certification from RIAA. As mentioned, The Coming boasts the hit single 'Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check ' which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1996. It was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance. It also ended up sporting another hit single, 'It's a Party' featuring Zhané. The Coming shows amazing variety where Busta can break free from the bells and the whistles of the Busta Dungeon Dragon flow to explore other ways of leaving our jaws open by his incredible lyricism. The Coming surely lives up to its title, as Busta delivers a performance that ignited his impeccable solo career."

As on their first EP Mokili Na Poche on Seismographic Records, Atelier Kamikazi's collaborative lyrics are dedicated to their spectrum of life as street kids. They struggle with the exhausting and dangerous beauty of life in Kinshasa by encouraging themselves and promising never to give up. Neither in the face of lying politics, nor in the face of a religion whose representative they call "Priest Cat's Heart," nor in the face of that great power to which they dedicate several songs, the drug called "Bomb," made from car catalyst deposits mixed with a wild cocktail of ingredients. They warn against using this drug to see "the nakedness of the turtle," because the only thing that could really be seen would be the ridiculousness of those consuming the drug. They counter that they are on a mission to conquer the future with their weapons: the weapons of speech, their knowledge and Loketo, the hip swing of dance.

"With creative verses rooted in technical brilliance, Detroit emcee Elzhi has attained the highest level of lyrical mastery. Now 15 years into an inspired solo career, the former Slum Village member has ramped up his output lately, joining forces with producers Georgia Anne Muldrow, Oh No, and JR Swiftz for three acclaimed albums in the 2020s. Now, Elzhi is reuniting with famed North Carolina producer Khrysis as the duo Jericho Jackson, revisiting the chemistry that resulted in a celebrated 2018 joint album. After emerging in the Justus League collective during the rise iconic group Little Brother, Khrysis has gone on to work with hip-hop royalty like Sean Price, Black Thought, Mac Miller, JID, Conway, Rapsody, Talib Kweli, Redman, and many more. Elzhi and Khrysis are launching the new era of Jericho Jackson with the flawless EP I Am Him, channeling the spirit of vintage maxi-singles. 'For me, the maxi-single represents a time when hip-hop was unapologetically raw and underground,' Elzhi explains. 'Some of my favorite artists used the format to showcase remixes, freestyles, and loose tracks that might not have fit the sound of an album. This is our way of restoring that feeling.' An exciting burst of new music from two undeniable talents, the project features appearances by Domo Genesis and Oh No."

"The original Madlib instrumentals to Georgia Anne Muldrow's critically acclaimed album Seeds which was released in 2012 on SomeOthaShip Connect. Heralded as one of her most captivating and immediate front-to-back statements of purpose, a deeply spiritual collection of songs. It was the first time in her career where she handed over all production duties to someone other than herself, that someone being the legendary Madlib. The beats on Seeds are naturally heavy, funky, soulful, abrupt yet hypnotic. All the characteristics of Madlib's signature sound listeners know and love. On the B Side of the vinyl is a collection of Georgia Anne Muldrow instrumentals from across three Dudley Perkins albums, Young Spirit, Self Study, and Holy Smokes. Beats with synths reminiscent of J Dilla's electronic era but with enough G-Funk influence to melt your Raiders hat. Bass lines that could get The Click back together. Georgia Anne Muldrow is a master of her craft on the beats and the microphone. This record is a testament to that. Rediscover Seeds, the magical powers of Madlib, and why beat tapes will never go out of style."
