"The legendary Wu-Tang Clan is among the most successful and influential groups in hip-hop history. As one of the nine original members, Masta Killa has been an important part of the Wu-Tang legacy since the group's debut in 1993. He's contributed verses to countless Wu classics ('Glaciers Of Ice,' 'Winter Warz,' 'Triumph,' 'Duel Of The Iron Mic,' 'Wu Banga 101'), released three critically acclaimed solo albums, and always remained true to the core Clan aesthetic: razor-sharp wisdom over dusty, soulful production. In 2017, Masta Killa unleashed the impressive album Loyalty Is Royalty. The memorable project boasts an impressive list of guest appearances, including Method Man, Redman, KXNG Crooked, Sean Price, RZA, GZA, Prodigy, Inspectah Deck, Cappadonna, and more. As fate would have it, two of those MCs have since passed away, making their contributions particularly special. With production handled by the likes of 9th Wonder, Illmind, P.F. Cuttin, RZA, True Master, and Dame Grease, Loyalty Is Royalty delivers the kind of classic hip-hop experience fans have come to expect from Masta Killa. After years out of print, this classic collection is now back on 2LP vinyl."

"A true innovator who elevated the art of rhyme to new levels of complexity, Myka 9 emerged in the early 1990s with influential Los Angeles collective Freestyle Fellowship. After the group sparked California's underground hip-hop movement with dazzling jazz-inflected flows on two classic albums, Myka launched an ambitious solo career, further developing his singular style while working with Talib Kweli, Cut Chemist, Prefuse 73, Busdriver, Open Mike Eagle, and more. Blu took inspiration from pioneers like Freestyle Fellowship in crafting the next generation of electric lyricism, becoming a remarkably consistent presence in the modern L.A. rap scene. The talented emcee's deep catalog includes four classics with Exile, albums produced by Evidence, Madlib, Nottz, Oh No, and more, plus collaborations with The Roots, Logic, J Dilla, Alchemist, Miguel, Kota The Friend, Roc Marciano, and others. Now, Myka 9 and Blu are joining forces for the new album God Takes Care Of Babies & Fools. 'Working with my idols is always the highest honor,' Blu explains. 'Myka is the God. He is so untouchable lyrically, and he can do it all because he has done it all.' The collection is entirely produced by Mono En Stereo, a renowned NYC beatmaker who has crafted music for De La Soul, Action Bronson, Mos Def, Your Old Droog, Homeboy Sandman, and more. With Mono's organic sampler concoctions providing an ideal canvas, Blu and Myka's rapid-fire linguistics explode into vibrant technicolor, animated by a consistent spiritual undercurrent. With an epic posse cut uniting Freestyle Fellowship and The Pharcyde plus appearances by Planet Asia, Abstract Rude, Exile, and A-F-R-O, God Takes Care Of Babies & Fools is an exhilarating collage of rap brilliance."

"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."

"After breaking through with a gold selling debut in the late 1990's, Harlem emcee Cam'ron quickly emerged as a leading figure in hip-hop, just as the genre was reaching mass audiences for the first time. A platinum-selling classic on Roc-A-Fella Records came a few years later, followed by the founding of the iconic collective Dipset and the release of three more seismic solo albums over the course of the 2000s. The last chapter in his historic run was 2009's Crime Pays, which drew praise from critics while also lighting up the Billboard Charts, showcasing Cam's sonic evolution while proving his pen game remained unmatched. More than 15 years after its release, this vital collection is now receiving an official vinyl pressing for the first time ever.

Double LP version. "When Your Old Droog first entered the hip-hop scene a decade ago, he was cloaked in anonymity. The Ukraine-born, Brooklyn bred rap phenomenon was known solely for his sharp, punchy lyrics wrapped in a gruff delivery. He finally came into the light with his eponymous debut release, the catalyst for what has become a prolific career. Since then, Droog has crystallized his place in hip-hop as the erudite rapper who can tackle any beat with precision; a product of the underground, yet designed for the mainstream. With his new project Movie, YOD is in a new era, where his days of being the dark horse in rap are over. He has countless co-signs from some of the greatest to ever touch a mic, and now he's finally geared to join them. 'Movie is everything that's dope about me,' Droog explains. 'Every song, every mood. This is my story.' A layered masterpiece, the album features appearances by Method Man and Denzel Curry, plus production by industry stalwarts like Just Blaze, Harry Fraud, Conductor Williams, and the legendary Madlib."

"As hip-hop's online footprint began rapidly expanding in the early 2010s, acclaimed Los Angeles emcee Blu was a rising star who commanded attention. Just a few years removed from the breakthrough success of Below The Heavens and an appearance on the XXL Freshmen list, the talented wordsmith was navigating the major label system, dropping self-produced mixtapes, and working with artists like The Roots, Miguel, Flying Lotus, 9th Wonder, and more. In 2011, the mysterious album Jesus turned up on Bandcamp, uploaded by an artist calling himself 'b.' Soon discovered to be the latest project from Blu, the unpolished but deeply soulful collection quickly made waves on blogs and social media. Just weeks later, Jesus improbably became one of Blu's first official solo releases, and it remains a lo-fi masterpiece, with mesmerizing production by Alchemist, Madlib, Knxwledge, Hezekiah, and Blu himself. Now, this classic is receiving a long-overdue vinyl reissue, complete with the Jesus-era bonus track 'Arrow & The Sparrow' featuring Jimetta Rose."

"Few artists are ever as controversial as they are influential. New York legend R.A. The Rugged Man has lived up to this billing by combining the authenticity of his undeniably rugged life with undisputed mic skills. Among the most gifted lyricists hip-hop has ever seen, R.A. burst onto the scene with an ill-fated stint on Jive Records in the early 1990s, before eventually becoming a pioneer of the independent rap hustle. Now, three decades after his arrival, R.A. has improbably outlasted nearly all of his peers. Having been banned, forgotten, blackballed, and left for dead, the Rugged Man has somehow emerged as one of the most important figures in underground hip-hop, with a thriving career, a nonstop touring schedule, and a die-hard fan base. His 2013 album Legends Never Die is remembered as the classic that solidified this reputation, balancing technically brilliant lyricism with raw honesty and head-nodding production. Featuring A-list guests like Tech N9ne, Hopsin, Talib Kweli, Brother Ali, Krizz Kaliko, Vinnie Paz, Masta Ace, Sadat X, and more, Legends Never Die is not only a celebration of R.A.'s illustrious history, but an exciting look at what's still to come."
