"Pete Rock is widely recognized as one of the greatest hip hop producers of all time. His name is oft included in the pantheon of the greatest, alongside DJ Premier, RZA and J Dilla. In addition, Pete has one of the world's most extensive vinyl collections, the sort of collection whose size can only be estimated --and that estimate stands in excess of 100,000 LPs. His production forte is the melding of Jazz with early 90s East Coast boom bap, regularly sampling classic soul greats like James Brown & Curtis Mayfield, jazz oddities like Tom Scott & Les McCann, and innumerable others. This production prowess is best demonstrated though his work with partner in rhyme CL Smooth. There was a time however, before Pete met CL. A time before the world came to know Pete Rock & CL Smooth. A time when Pete was a 19 year old in his basement in Mount Vernon, NY making beats with an SP-1200 drum machine, sampler, and sequencer. These previously unreleased beats are now compiled here in Return Of The SP1200, the debut release from Rock's own Tru Soul Records, and a tribute to his beloved sampler. Also features additional scratches from Beat Junkies member J. Rocc."

In 2018, Sucata Tapes welcomed Grup Ses with Program 01 (SUC 012CS, 2018), a mystically-mixed soundtrack of far-out new age and film soundtracks from Turkey circa 1986. A new set of Turkish delights were prepared for this year's release. Deli Divan is a two-part record with incredibly crafted beats that tell a different story depending on which version one choses. The A side captivates with its voracity; hi-tech and fierce beats drop with the sharp voice and flow of Ethnique Punch, delivering 14 (yes, f-o-u-r-t-e-e-n) short and punchy tracks. The diggin' liveliness of Grup Ses is well present in the samples used, manufacturing beats that serve well the fast paced and nocturnal voice of Ethnique Punch. The first part of Deli Divan is pretty much a straight story, but a good one. But then comes the surprise, the other side. The same fourteen tracks without voice, just the beats. And here, Deli Divan tells a completely different story. It loses the urgency, darkness and robustness of the A side, especially because the beats float in limbo without a voice. But that limbo reveals the straightforwardness of the beats created by Grup Ses for this record. There's a hidden narrative here; without the voice the short tracks connect like an outer world radio broadcast. But there's no narrator, just time-traveling beats that interlink past, present and future, synthesizing complex ideas in short bursts of one or two minutes.

The seven-track project showcases Realz's song writing and artistic flare as he effortlessly skips between rap and melodic rap while at the same time delivering his signature hard-hitting lyrics and catchy hooks. With production credits from the likes of Zeph Ellis and Dwayne Patrick as well as features with Geovarn and SNE; Get Set has something for everyone. By focusing on his ever-growing fan base, Realz has found his true voice, which has helped him to push and elevate his talent; he has also made fans out of his peers, including the likes of Wiley, Skepta, Frisco, and Mike Skinner, who have all tipped Realz for big things. Putting in some serious groundwork through his own releases, emcee battles and various head-turning, high profile freestyles, Realz has subsequently earned serious support and kudos from gatekeepers such as DJ Target, Logan Sama, Sian Anderson, and Tim Westwood, all championing his sound. If 2018 was the year that saw Realz Get Set, 2019 will see him go. Also features M-fly, Danzey, Flayva.

RSD 2019 release. "Pete Rock is widely recognized as one of the greatest hip hop producers of all time. His name is oft included in the pantheon of the greatest, alongside DJ Premier, RZA and J Dilla. In addition, Pete has one of the world's most extensive vinyl collections, the sort of collection whose size can only be estimated -- and that estimate stands in excess of 100,000 LPs. 2019 will see the launch of Pete Rock's own imprint, Tru Soul Records. And being a lover of all things vinyl, he's decided that the label's inaugural release has to be for Record Store Day. Rock's production forte is the melding of Jazz with early 90s East Coast boom bap, as demonstrated though his work with partner in rhyme CL Smooth. But there was a time before Pete met CL, a time before the world came to know Pete Rock & CL Smooth, a time when Pete was a 19-year-old in his basement in Mount Vernon, NY making beats with his SP-1200. These are those beats. Released for the first time ever on Return Of The SP-1200 debuting on Record Store Day 2019."

RSD 2019 release. Previously unreleased six-track demo by forgotten NYC-area band Renegade Force. There is no background information about this recording, a salvaged demo by unknown musicians seeing collaborative release between Snow Dog and Heavenly Star Records (Clyde Alexander & Sanction, Margo's Kool Out Crew, Cloud One). The group's dead-on execution of Zulu Nation/Wild Style-era "live hip-hop band" vibe recalls Positive Force, Doug Wimbish, Planet Patrol, Pumpkin & Friends, and The Harlem Underground Band. The recording's origin is murky, the equipment/instrumentation (all analog by the sound of it) fits the early 1980s NYC landscape, with the influence of the emerging popularity of drum machines evident on "School Disco".

LP version. "First Brick is the long-awaited return of critically acclaimed emcee Rasheed Chappell. His debut LP Future Before Nostalgia was heralded as a classic by many in the indie Hip Hop scene. On First Brick Rasheed pairs once again with legendary producer Kenny Dope to provide the canvas for his vivid wordplay. It's been 7 years since Rasheed's last release and First Brick serves as a reminder and reintroduction. It reminds those already familiar with Rasheed why he is held in such high regards by luminaries such as O.C., Lord Finesse, DJ Eclipse, DJ Scratch & DJ Clark Kent to name a few. It also serves as an introduction to those who may not be familiar with the work Rasheed had been putting down over the years. Collaborating with the likes of Raheem DeVaughn, Apollo Brown, Diamond D and others has maintained his profile as an elite level rhyme sayer. First Brick provides an in-depth look into the mind and musings of Rasheed Chappell. The title serves as a compass, leading the listener to the very beginnings of what made Rasheed the man he is. His crisp delivery and penchant for silver screen-esque lyricism is on full display on songs such as '101' and 'Shorty Rock Pt.1'. The opening track 'Breaking Ground' is a spoken word piece that informs the audience about the ride they're about to embark on. All of life's hardships and heroism are captured in his words. 'Street Corner Shit' is a standout track that serves as an ode and cautionary tale to those that indulge in such recreation. Unlike his debut LP, Rasheed isn't the sole voice on this project. Enlisted are some of today's truly exceptional rhyme spitters. CRIMEAPPLE and Daniel Son help paint a haunting picture on 'Aiding & Abetting'. On the bar for bar banger 'Kingsmen' Recognize Ali, Hus Kingpin, Napoleon Da Legend and Lil Fame of M.O.P. all pen precise poetic mayhem over a neck snapping Kenny Dope rhythm. As the introduction of the album states, every building starts with a single break. As long as the foundation of Rasheed Chappell and Kenny Dope remain intact, expect nothing but good things."

"By the time Busta Rhymes hit with his second solo album, When Disaster Strikes, he was already cemented as one of the most powerful voices in the rap game. With a lead single that countered that statement 'Put Your Hands Where MY Eyes Can See' he proved he is more than just a one act man. The single was an immediate smash and was followed by an equally amazing album. The albums second single 'Dangerous' continued to push Busta creatively and was accompanied with a stellar video gained him major air play on BET and MTV. Critics and fans alike applauded this release for its depth and well-crafted songs which made it platinum at the time of its release. Songs like 'Turn UP,' the Flipmode-assisted 'We Could Take It Outside,' and 'Rhymes Galore' showcase Busta at his best; rapidfire delivery over hard pounding beats. Other standout cuts include 'So Hardcore' and 'One,' which is a great collaboration with Erykah Badu. On the production side Busta brings along his trusted team; Rashad Smith, Dilla, Rockwilder, and DJ Scratch to serve him just what he needed for When Disaster Strikes to be full on dope!"

"When one makes mention of Deee-Lite, the 90's house-funk trio of Lady Miss Kier, and DJs Dmitry and Towa Tei, invariably their Billboard smash single 'Groove Is In The Heart' (Off their 1990 studio debut World Clique) will come up, and for good reason. With its Herbie Hancock-sampling bassline, some classic rhymes from Q-Tip, and guest vocals by Parliament-Funkadelic legend Bootsy Collins, the song became an indelible classic of 90s music, a massive commercial hit for Deee-lite, (Reaching #4 on the Billboard Hot 100) and is widely considered one of the greatest dance songs of all time. Although a massive success for the group, 'Groove Is In The Heart' led to some pigeonholing from critics and reviewers, who had specific expectations for future records. Rather than deliver more of the same free-wheeling, breezy dance music of World Clique, Deee-lite took a more politically-minded approach with their second album, spurred largely by front-woman Lady Miss Kier, who had a lengthy history of political activism prior to forming the group. 1992's Infinity Within rendered several Dance-chart hit singles, but was not as commercially or critically lauded as its forebear. Deee-lite were undaunted by their change in commercial fortune, regrouping with the addition of junglist DJ Ani, replacing the absent Towa Tei to record their third record. 1994's Dewdrops In The Garden was the result of their efforts, which struck a remarkable balance between the celebratory grooves of World Clique, and the social justice-driven Infinity Within. Lady Miss Kier had done a lot of world-traveling in the time between albums, and the material in Dewdrops was a reflection of her experiences, applying a spirit of global togetherness to their house-funk grooves. Regrettably, Dewdrops In The Garden was not a commercial success, yet it still managed to render its share of #1 Dance Chart singles; the atmospheric techno bounciness of 'Bring Me Your Love', and the spacious funk-house track 'Call Me.' Though Deee-lite would disband soon after Dewdrops In The Garden's release, the record remains an unheralded favorite among dance music devotees for its coupling infectiously bright, and soulful melodies, with banging dance-floor grooves, and unshakably optimistic vibes."

"'Shook Ones Part II' might be one of the biggest records to come out of New York in the mid 90's. From the moment you hear the bare hi-hat and the infamous line 'to all the killers and the hundred dollar billas' it is an immediate adrenaline rush. The beat alone is a work of art, Havoc constructed what would go on for years as 'how did he actually come up with that beat?!' amongst DJ's and Producers alike. The infectious piano, cinematic sirens, it was no doubt that it was one of (famed New York nightclub) The Tunnel's most signature records. As Cipha Sounds put it - 'How could it not rip in The Tunnel? Just classic. "Shook Ones Part I" was actually pretty big in the Tunnel, but "Part II" ripped everything.' When 'Shook Ones Part II' came you couldn't help but nod your head and get lost in Havoc and Prodigy trading verses breaking down the meaning of a crook... making you shook son."

Double LP version; gatefold sleeve. DJ Jazzy Jeff's M3 is a memoir, love story, how-to manual and manifesto all in one. As a renowned DJ and producer, DJ Jazzy Jeff's career spans decades, genres, and generations. M3 is a reflection of that existence and his "declaration of independence". In the final installment of his Magnificent series, DJ Jazzy Jeff celebrates unhindered creativity. While staying true to his b-boy roots with classic boom bap drums, Jeff infuses a myriad of sounds that have influenced his production work over the years. The result is a cohesive mix of hip-hop, R&B, funk, jazz and house. For M3, DJ Jazzy Jeff brings extraordinary artists together to present a multigenerational perspective on life, love, the current state of society, and the music industry. The Trinity, comprised of Grammy and Oscar award-winning MC Rhymefest, Philadelphia MC Dayne Jordan, and multi-talented artist Uhmeer, serves as M3's primary storytellers. With three distinct styles, the trio is a group with an unprecedented flow and magical delivery. The Trinity lays bare the foundations of real hip-hop with tracks including "The Beginning", "Scars", and "Where You At." Things lighten up with feel-good tune "Skater's Paradise", and a tribute to womankind, "Stronger Than Me". And M3 wouldn't be complete without a few soulful voices. Singer/songwriter Aaron Camper provides his sultry sound to "Midnight Escapade" and "The Way We Cool", while Maimouna Youssef lends her soulful harmony to "Child of God," and Masego adds his signature trap-jazz flair to "2Step." For DJ Jazzy Jeff, M3 represents creative freedom and a feeling of empowerment that he hopes will "inspire fellow artists to maintain their independence and take charge of their own destiny".

"2018 Black Friday RSD release. On vinyl for the first time ever!
Pressed on red vinyl with variant covers of each jeckel brother! Horrorcore hip-hop veterans Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope of Insane Clown Posse have never been one to avoid controversy for the sake of their craft. The release of their 1997 album The Great Milenko proved that, when the album's label, Disney-owned Hollywood Records, removed the album from shelves mere hours after its release to appease complaints by the Southern Baptist Church. This controversy only served to propel the Detroit duo's profile higher, as numerous labels lined up to court them. By 1998 Insane Clown Posse had settled into Island Records, and The Great Milenko had sold over one million copies, setting the stage for their next record. The Amazing Jeckel Brothers was released in 1999, was the fifth entry into their Joker's Cards anthology of albums, and featured 17 tracks touching on themes of anger, morality, and sin, heavily inspired by the negative press the group had received from the Hollywood Records debacle. Like Milenko, the album featured production from their frequent collaborator DJ Mike E. Clark, but Jeckel Brothers set itself apart with its sound, heavily indebted to classic 90s rap, as opposed to Milenko's hard rock-influence, featuring key contributions from legends of hip-hop like Ol' Dirty Bastard and Snoop Dogg, from fellow horrorcore icons Twiztid, ska-revival band Gangsta Fun, and even prank call comedians The Jerky Boys. Despite receiving a thrashing from critics, Insane Clown Posse defied the press it received when The Amazing Jeckel Brothers debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 charts, and ultimately reached platinum status in 2008. In celebration of this landmark album, Insane Clown Posse's own Psychopathic Records now presents this special reissue of The Amazing Jeckel Brothers. Not just on vinyl for the very first time, but pressed on transparent red wax, and housed in two variant covers featuring each of the two iconic Jeckel Brothers from the original artwork."

'Back To The Old School seems like a crazy title for a hip-hop album that came out in 1986. What exactly did Just Ice, Sir Vicious himself, mean by this title? Back to the Bronx? Back to the streets? With the emergence and commercial success of Queens natives Run-DMC and LL Cool J, the origins of hip-hop culture were entering its second decade back in 86', the 'new school.' On Back To The Old School, Just-Ice the original gangster of hip-hop teams up with the lord high ruler and emperor of the beat Kurtis Mantronik (Mantronix) and his partner in crime the original human beatbox Cool DMX, to provide the pure, raw hip-hop that everyone is finding for. Traffic Entertainment presents yet another choice classic from hip-hop's golden era, complete with original cover artwork by NYC graffiti legends Gemini & Gnome."

Repressed; originally released for 2014 RSD Black Friday. "Pressed on special Christmas-themed colored vinyl! Re-issue of the 1987 Profile Records holiday compilation on colored vinyl, with songs by Run-DMC, Dana Dane, Sweet Tee, The Showboys, The Surf M.C.s, Spyder-D, and more. Leading off with the Run-DMC smash, 'Christmas In Hollis,' this classic Christmas compilation features some of the hottest rap artists of the era, celebrating the holidays, hip-hop style. Highlights include Dana Dane's 'Dana Dane Is Coming To Town,' Sweet Tee's 'Let The Jingle Bells Rock' and even the Surf M.C.s' 'A Surf M.C. New Year,' adding a California surfer (and, ahem, Beastie Boys rip-off) twist to the proceedings. Not to be overlooked is the classic front and back cover artwork, featuring a gift-wrapped B-Boy. It remains an essential, evergreen (pun intended) holiday album to this day."

2LP version. "As the first Asian-American solo rapper to perform at Lollapalooza and Coachella, and to release a greatest hits record, Lyrics Born has broken through countless barriers to cement his illustrious career. Now on the cusp of acting appearances in acclaimed films as Sorry To Bother You, and the upcoming Always Be My Maybe, he will be the first Asian-American solo rapper to release a 10th album -- a record of funk and soul woven into classic, boom-bap hip hop called Quite A Life. Quite A Life features a legendary line-up of guest musicians, including the heavily buzzing artist Aloe Blacc ('Brooklyn In the Summer', 'I Need a Dollar', Avicii's 'Wake Me Up'), Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, Gift of Gab (of Blackalicious), Galactic, and Chali 2na (of Jurassic 5)."

"Too $hort's legendary 1992 effort Shorty The Pimp is back in effect on vinyl thanks to the hip hop preservationist at Get On Down. Though many don't consider this to be one of Too $hort's strongest releases, the project did move well over 80,000 in its first week of release landing at Number 6 on the Billboard Top 200. Taking the title from the incredibly rare 1973 Blaxploitation film, Too $hort does what he does best on Shorty The Pimp: funk beats, boastful braggadocio, a few conscious rhymes and layers of straight up pimp talk. The lyrical content can certainly be considered comical and entertaining. Shorty The Pimp is also a stand out project for producer Ant Banks who did many of the beats for the project, his first works with Too $hort with many more to follow over the next decade. Oddly enough, one of the best comments on Shorty The Pimp comes from a random guy on the internet who commented on his experience listening to the release, 'I ran my car into a tree after listening to 'It Don't Stop' Definitely made for cars with the booming systems!'"

"As the first Asian-American solo rapper to perform at Lollapalooza and Coachella, and to release a greatest hits record, Lyrics Born has broken through countless barriers to cement his illustrious career. Now, on September 14th, on the cusp of acting appearances in acclaimed films as Sorry To Bother You, and the upcoming Always Be My Maybe, he will be the first Asian-American solo rapper to release a 10th album -- a record of funk and soul woven into classic, boom-bap hip hop called Quite A Life. Quite A Life features a legendary line-up of guest musicians, including the heavily buzzing artist Aloe Blacc ('Brooklyn In the Summer', 'I Need a Dollar', Avicii's 'Wake Me Up'), Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, Gift of Gab (of Blackalicious), Galactic, and Chali 2na (of Jurassic 5)."
