2021 repress. "Produced entirely by MF DOOM. Following the success of two collaborative releases (EMC The Show/2008 and Ace & Edo G Arts & Entertainment/2009), Masta Ace joins forces with the metal faced MF Doom for Son of Yvonne, a highly personal concept album that celebrates the life and legacy of Ace's recently departed Mother. Like his 2004 landmark Disposable Arts, Son of Yvonne is meticulously constructed with stories, settings, and characters that resonate with flesh and bone humanity. Interstitial vignettes provide a thematic backbone to the experience, and each track complements and completes the previous to form a narrative whole: a sometimes visceral, sometimes nostalgic slice of Ace's young life in Brownsville, Brooklyn. Entirely underscored by MF Doom's iconic Special Herbs instrumentals, Son of Yvonne features the Juice Crew general Big Daddy Kane, new comers Pav Bundy (The Bundies), Reggie B and even MF Doom on the mic. It's Masta Ace's no frills flow, however, that looms largest above the dusty samples and digger loops that define Doom's production. Ace's photo-realistic rhymes about stick-up kids, spraycan artists and wack emcees add extra gravity to his already celebrated reputation as 'truly an under-appreciated rap veteran and underground luminary' (Allmusic Guide). Like Eminem recalls in his 2008 autobiography The Way I Am, 'Masta Ace had amazing storytelling skills. His thoughts were so vivid.'"

LP version. "Music by Madlib arranged by Kieren Hebden. Gil Evans to Miles Davis... Holger Czukay to the ensemble known as Can... Jean Claude Vannier to Serge Gainsbourg on Histoire de Melody Nelson. That's the only way to explain the specificity of Four Tet and Madlib's collaboration, in this special album that showcases a two-decade long friendship that has resulted in an album that follows Madlib's classics like Quasimoto's The Unseen, Madvillainy and his Pinata and Bandana albums with Freddie Gibbs. 'A few months ago I completed work on an album with my friend Madlib that we'd been making for the last few years. He is always making loads of music in all sorts of styles and I was listening to some of his new beats and studio sessions when I had the idea that it would be great to hear some of these ideas made into a Madlib solo album. Not made into beats for vocalists to use but instead arranged into tracks that could all flow together in an album designed to be listened to start to finish. I put this concept to him when we were hanging out eating some nice food one day and we decided to work on this together with him sending me tracks, loops, ideas and experiments that I would arrange, edit, manipulate and combine. I was sent hundreds of pieces of music over a couple of years stretch and during that time I put together this album with all the parts that fitted with my vision.' --Kieren Hebden AKA Four Tet"

"BRASS is a collaborative album from experimental musician and poet Moor Mother and the rapper billy woods (½ of Armand Hammer). After working together on Armand Hammer's critically acclaimed 2020 LP Shrines, Moor Mother and woods released the song 'Furies' for the Adult Swim single series in July. A whirl of interweaving allegories spun over producer Willie Green's hypnotic flip of a Sons of Kmet sample, 'Furies' was the burning arrow that both artists followed, the first crack of thunder in a blackening sky. BRASS sees both artists joined by an eclectic array of friends, family, and legends- in some cases all three. John Forte, ELUCID, Amirtha Kidambi, Franklin James Fisher (Algiers), Mach Hommy, Imani Robinson, Wolf Weston (Saint Mela), Navy Blue, and Fielded all lend their voices to the project. Production by The Alchemist, Preservation, Moor Mother, Olof Melander, Child Actor, Navy Blue, Messiah Muzik, Steel Tipped Dove, and WIllie Green. BRASS is a moment where two great artists in their own right tap into a new frequency together. Even for those familiar with both it's an unexpected sound that, once heard, could never have been otherwise. It is both ethereal and utilitarian, timeless and timeworn. A cast-iron pot propped over a fire in the dark. A tropical beach shimmering with broken glass."

"Blackmarket Seminar, an album by Kazi and entirely produced by Madlib. Guest features by Madlib, MED, Wildchild, Declaime (Dudley Perkins) and Oh No. The album was recorded in 1996 and digitally remastered in 2016 and released on all digital stores. The CD version of the album is now available in 2020. Kazi says: 'We recorded this album in the wee hours at CDP studios back in '96. It was pretty much me, Madlib and Declaime in the lab when this album was recorded. I learned so much from Lib, cadence, rhyme patterns, timing and how to dig for records. What some people don't know is this cat actually took the time to show me how to make beats. I must say working with Lib was an amazing experience. The Blackmarket Seminar is a very raw and dark album. We came up with 'Black Market' because at the time we were doing hip hop that nobody else was doing and to us you could only get it on the 'Black Market'. When you first play the album you'll hear characters on a skit in search of the black market seminar. We really tried to make it seem like the characters were outside walking around looking for it.'"

2021 repress; clear vinyl. "Ridin' Dirty is the third studio album by dirty south legends Bun B and Pimp C -- together known as UGK. It is easily considered one of the greatest southern hip hop albums ever made, but let's drop all the labels this is just pure good rap music, for any region. It's all right there, everything that people have come to expect from Houston rap: candy-painted cars, wood-grained steering wheels, flashy jewelry, late-night odes to lean and weed, passing references to DJ Screw tapes, those warm funk synthesizers that sound like radio oldies. All of Ridin' Dirty feels iconic now -- among other reasons, because so many of its lyrics have since been cribbed by everyone from Slim Thug to Jay Z. There's the laid-back badassery of 'Diamonds and Wood,' the zoned-out celebration of '3 in the Morning,' the ridiculous boasting of 'Fuck My Car.' Everything here is essential. Ridin' Dirty was produced entirely by Pimp C and features start to finish bangers such as 'One Day', 'Murder,' 'Hi Lif,' and of course the title track 'Ridin' Dirty.' Pimp C makes use of perfectly chosen soul, funk, and gospel samples to create a perfect soundscape for he and Bun B to trade verse over. Despite there being no singles or videos released from the album, the set went on to be a pivotal moment in southern hip hop as well as UGK's best-selling and most critically acclaimed release."

HIERO 113LP

"For the first time officially on wax, the Hiero Oldies is a collection of early works from the Hieroglyphics crew featuring Del The Funkyhomosapien, Casual, Pep Love, and Souls of Mischief. This also marks the first official vinyl release of the timeless tune 'Step To My Girl'. The Oakland-based Hieroglyphics are a long-running, influential underground rap collective who combine an offbeat sensibility with a strong grounding in battle rhyming, freestyling, and other hip-hop traditions. Thanks to a significant online presence and constant touring, Hiero gained a healthy following among rap fans seeking an alternative to the increasingly commercialized state of the genre."

"On their ambitious collaboration, New York rap heavyweights Rasheed Chappell & Buckwild have perfectly captured the stress and tension, but also faint sense of the hope, of what it means to be a sinner or a saint. In just 11 tracks, Sinners & Saints plays like an audio documentary series filled with expertly crafted beats and rhymes. When the two sat down to work together, Rasheed says that they only knew that they 'wanted to address the now, the past, and the potential future.' And upon receiving the first batch of beats from Buck -- the D.I.T.C. producer with decades of acclaimed work to his name -- the NY emcee used a majority of them and knew immediately what they were doing. 'My goal was simple: don't try to recreate anything they have done, just create something that no one else can do, which is to be me,' Rasheed says. Buck echoed that sentiment when he talked about the record in a documentary, in which he expressed his excitement to work with not just a talented rapper, but a skilled artist. 'Being an artist is just as important as putting two words together to rhyme,' Buck explained. That high level of artistry, from everyone involved, is what makes Sinners & Saints so impactful. Not just anyone could pull off a track as stirring as 'The Blue Hood,' in which Rasheed plays the role of a racist, corrupt police officer over Buck's harrowing production. The same goes for 'Rock Bottom' where he and Ransom sound off about life's low points, and 'Bredren,' a speaker-knocking middle-finger in musical form featuring Planet Asia. There's just so much to love about what these two have created with Sinners & Saints, a project that sounds like if 2020 was a hip-hop album. And if things do truly get better as we move into 2021, there's no better anthem than 'Black Owned,' a powerful anthem for Rasheed, Buck, and everyone listening."

Marco Fonktana has more than 20 years of career and is a benchmark in Spanish hip-hop scene. Two new tracks on a 7" vinyl pressing, equal parts biographical and moments of reflection, without compromising his torrential sincerity that grows larger with each subsequent musical endeavor. If there's one thing that has characterized the Santa Coloma MC, it has been his continued search and shaking of the hip-hop underground with his continuous evolution with music. Projects like Soul Divos or Aerolíneas Subterráneas showed that the union of rhymes with a funk band backing was not only possible but worked well. His solo projects: Al Volverte Hay Un Perro Detrás y Balas Perdidas, always maintained a high quality of exploration within the grooves, without forgetting his most old school look with the project of Hombres Bala accompanied by Sr. Zambrana and Weleló.

Cassette version. "For the third installment of his PeteStrumentals series, producer Pete Rock takes a departure from the sample-heavy style that has earned him recognition as a living hip-hop legend. This twelve-track project is instead a collection of beats crafted by the producer, then reimagined by his stellar band, The Soul Brothers -- drummer Daru Jones (Jack White), keyboardist BigYuki, bassist MonoNeon (Prince), guitarist Marcus Machado and vocalist Jermaine Holmes (D'Angelo); all critically acclaimed musicians in their own rights. After performing together across Manhattan, cementing their creative bond, Pete Rock & The Soul Brothers combined their individual musical influences and experiences to craft a smooth sonic experience that is truly the sum of all of its stylistic and instrumental parts. PeteStrumentals 3 is a masterful blend of funk, jazz, hip-hop and soul, a mellow soundtrack for any occasion."

"First repress since 2002. Includes the singles 'Mic Manipulator' and 'Rapperfection (ft Mr.Lif)'. Stanton Swihart of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, calling it 'a wild, weird, instantly left-field rap masterpiece from one seriously bugged-out, innovative loner.' Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! described it as 'an album that embraces the late '80s/early '90s of hip-hop, with old school beats and battle rhymes (the Primitive), while at the same time shaking hands with new school lyricism and space age effects (the Plus).' Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club wrote: 'One of the year's most promising debuts, Primitive Plus makes the beats of yesterday and the flows of today sound like the hip-hop of tomorrow.'"

Last copies, Black Friday RSD 202 release. "The Jahari Massamba Unit features Madlib on all instrumentation with the exception of drums, which are laid down by Karriem Riggins. Like Madlib, Riggins is well-versed in both the jazz and hip-hop worlds. Musically, Madlib's label says: 'we would call the project spiritual jazz, but jazz great Phil Ranelin told us to call it black classical music, so that's what we're going with. This is an album put together by students of jazz in its myriad and historic forms who are also proponents of jazz's future. The resulting recording reflects a lifetime of record collecting, musical study, woodshedding, and a reverential respect for one another's craft. Regardless of categorization, this is an exciting and all-new entry in Madlib's Yesterday's New Quintet canon of difficult to categorize music. Pardon My French debuts on RSD Black Friday."
