Pete Rock & CL Smooth - Main Ingredient (2 CDs Boxset, Original Full Length Album + Original 12" Single Versions) 2 x CDs Boxset £15.99 Add to basket After the success of 2010's deluxe reissue of Pete Rock & CL Smooth "Mecca and the Soul Brother", Traffic Entertainment is proud to announce the release of Pete Rock and CL Smooth's 1994 classic, "The Main Ingredient" in the same deluxe packaging and expanded content concept. The album never gained the traction as the pairings full length debut, which followed the 1991 EP "All Souled Out" and yielded the biggest hit of their conjoined career, "They Reminisce Over You." But "The Main Ingredient" is nonetheless Pete and CL's most critically applauded work, a definitive symbol of the tempered consciousness and roughneck rhythm that defined the era. Pete Rock laid these backdrops in Rockland County, where he moved and built a studio after leaving Mount Vernon in 1993 (the cover shot for The Main Ingredient was taken in his Rockland lab). Though the scenery changed, his tools of choice didn't, and this is yet another testament to the Chocolate Boy Wonder's magical knack with the SP-1200 drum machine and sampler. With no Pro Tools and little input from outside of their immediate camp, Pete and CL recorded their final sixteen as a team over the course of a year between 1993 and 1994. "This definitely marks a very high place in my career," says Pete. "We were in a zone, and when you're in a zone, it's fun. It was a great time, and we put the album together with just that in mind. It was like a family thing, and music was a hobby, not a job. We kept it like we were in the basement, creating music just for the fun of it. Of course the business side reared its ugly head, and we eventually had to deal with that, but '94 was a great time. Music was more real back then. It was more original". Traffic Entertainment now captures that time in a box with this expanded deluxe edition of this seminal work. |

Mantronix - King of the Beats (Anthology 1985-1988) 2 x CDs 2 x CDs £9.99 Add to basket How do you define the music of Mantronix? Is it Hip Hop? Electro? Funk? House? Maybe the answer is all of the above (or is it none of the above?). It is true that Mantronix will be remembered for their multi-faceted sound as well as their ability to bend and blend genres flawlessly into a cohesive musical tapestry, but they will also most importantly they will be remembered as musical innovators and sub- genre pioneers. Kurtis Mantronik and MC Tee formed the group Mantronix In the early 80s. Their Sleeping Bag Records debut: Mantronix: The Album shot to commercial success on the strength of their debut single, "Fresh Is The Word". The influence of this groundbreaking debut is still felt in popular music today, having been sampled by the likes of Beastie Boys, Beck, The Prodigy and more. Kurtis Mantronik was also as dangerous behind the desk as he was behind the boards. Working as A&R for Sleeping Bag while signed to the label, Mantronik also helped recruit, sign, and produce for artists such as T La Rock and Just-Ice. Notable records from this era include, Just Ice's "Cold Gettin' Dumb" and "Back to the Old School" as well as T La Rock's "Breaking Bells (12" Version)". Now available for the first time ever, Traffic Entertainment Group in conjunction with Sleeping Bag Records and Warlock Entertainment present; Mantronix: King of the Beats, The Anthology 1985-1988. This two disc carefully curated compilation combines the best of Mantronix's work from the early, and arguarbly, best era of their career into one amazing listening experience.

Grap Luva Neva Done CD (Redefinition Records) CD £8.99 Add to basket Packaged in a deluxe Mini-LP Debut solo release Grap Luva AKA The Younger Soul Brother is much more than Pete Rock s brother ... Grap is a veteran hip-hop producer & MC who has been selectively releasing songs for well over 15 years. Interestingly, this is his first ever solo release. From his work behind the boards for artists such as Method Man, Marley Marl and J-Live, to his days as a member of respected rap group INI (alongside Rob O); it s a known fact that Grap can hold his own when it comes to beats and rhymes. This 11 track EP is a true testament to Grap's career, proving that whether it's contemporary tracks collaborating with the likes of Kev Brown, Damu The Fudgemunk and Joc Max, or unarchived beats from his SP-1200 vaults, Grap s work is indeed never done. |

Ol' Dirty Bastard - Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version CD Boxset - NOW IN STOCK !!! £18.99 Add to basket Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version (DELUXE RE-ISSUE) (WALLET + ID CARD + POSTER + STICKER) (Double CD) It's safe to say that hip-hop has never seen an album like Ol' Dirty Bastard's 1995 solo debut Return to the 36 Chambers. The brief glimpses of ODB's unhinged genius provided by Wu-Tang Clan's landmark Enter the Wu-Tang album two years earlier were begging to be expanded on to a larger canvas, and, with RZA guiding production, the album promised to give Dirty the creative license to make one of the most bizarre, entertaining and original LPs in hip-hop history. With his raspy, drunken flow and dark sense of humor, Dirty fearlessly attacks from all angles, throwing himself fearlessly into punchy rhyme attacks ("Damage" with GZA), drugged-out party jams (the monster singles "Brooklyn Zoo" and "Shimmy Shimmy Ya") and bizarre, grimly hilarious fantasies of sex and violence ("Don't U Know" and the R&B-tinged "Sweet Sugar Pie"). Backed by RZA's appropriately gritty, dissonant beats and appearances from the Clan, Return became an instant hit, selling over 1 million copies and earning a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rap Album in 1996. The album stands as a high water mark in the Wu-Tang Clan's collective creative output and was selected as one of the Best 100 Rap Albums by The Source magazine in 1998. In honoring the legacy of one of hip-hop's most innovative releases, Get On Down is proud to present this incredible and unique special edition of Ol' Dirty Bastard's Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version on double CD which contains the complete original album, remastered for optimal sound quality, plus a 13-track second disc featuring remixes, a capellas, instrumentals and rarities from the Return to the 36 Chambers sessions. The two-disc set comes packaged in a deluxe bill fold wallet, designed especially for this release, which includes a reproduction of the laminated food stamp card featured on the album's iconic cover art. Also included are a vintage "On Tour" poster, promotion sticker, extended artwork and detailed liner notes. |

Damu The Fudgemunk - Overthrone / All Green (Redefintion) 7" Vinyl 7" £6.99 Add to basket This time we're greeted with a minimalist designed black jacket with a simple "O" and "G" on opposing sides of the record. The O stands for "Overthrone (Try a lil skillfulness)", a masterfully produced instrumental which features one of Damu's signature arrangements, combining pianos, horn blasts, a seemingly infinite number of patterns as well as some choice cuts and scratches ... "Pass the crown, let's get down to business" ... Notably this piece features the same Otis sample as heard on a certain Throne LP that you may have heard of. Is Damu trying to say something with this track? His cuts, "Empires Are Over Thrown" may suggest that is so, but as he usually does, Damu let's his music do the talking so listeners will have to draw their own conclusions. The B-Side features "All Green" which many may recognize as the instrumental version of Damu's Army Fatigue Rap Remix (Kaimbr & Kev Brown, 2011). Damu finally decided to liberate this monsterous beat which will surely satisfy his core audience and then some. "All Green" is an achievement in limitations. Taking what many considered to be an overused well of sample fodder and turning it into something completely new and original, while still making it feel familiar is something Damu is becoming known for. Packaged in a black paper sleeve inside a mylar dust jacket with an outer sticker, this is a yet another quality Damu product that shouldn't be missed. |

Black, Rock & Ron - Stop the World CD CD £7.99 Add to basket Hailing from Hollis Queens (and well influenced by their neighbors, RUN-DMC), Lord Black, The Ruler Master Rock, and Ron Scratch released their first single "Hard Rap" on Next Plateau in 86 under the name the Vicious Four. Released during the emergence of the "New School" where samplers and drum machines such as the Lynn Drum and the SP-12 hit the market, producers and hip-hop artists were better able to create a less expensive and more complex structure to tracks that wasn't previously available without having connections or a backing band. The era of loop heavy samples and drum breaks were upon us. In 1987 Black, Rock & Ron hooked up with Jazzy Jay (Strong City) who produced their next single "That's How I'm Livin" also on Next Plateau. At the request of LL Cool J they then went on to be managed by the one and only Russell Simmons' Rush Town. Then getting signed to RCA Records Black, Rock and Ron put together the material for their debut album "Stop The World". With legendary engineers: the late Paul C. (Ultramagnetic MC's, Super Love Cee & Cassanova Rudd, Organized Konfusion), DJ Doc (Boogie Down Productions, Spyder D), and Skeff Anselm (A Tribe Called Quest, Brand Nubian) at the boards they put out the underrated classic LP, a few 12 inch singles, and a couple videos. They gained a cult following overseas, the album "Stop the World" was released on the Supreme record label in the UK. It entered the UK album charts on 22 April 1989, and reached number 72. They were last involved with the Hip-Hop Against Apartheid - Ndodemnyama (Free South Africa) anti-apartheid song, but like some of the unfortunate rap artists of the time, Black, Rock & Ron just seemed to fall off into random rap obscurity. That is until now, Get On Down in conjunction with Sony Music presents this dusty gem repackaged with an extended booklet featuring vintage never seen-promo photography, the first interview with all 3 members in over 20 years, a reprint of vintage HHC magazine cover story feature and Testimonial quotes from likes of Russell Simmons, Tragedy Khadafi and Uncle Ralph McDaniels. |

MF Doom - Operation Doomsday (Deluxe Edition Red Cover Double CD) 2 x CD £8.99 Add to basket Operation: Doomsday has floated in and out of print since its original 1999 pressing on famed New York label Fondle Em, attaining mythical status amongst underground fans as one of the landmark releases of the decade, showcasing MF Doom s abstract wordplay, pointed wit, subtly subversive lyrics and alcohol drenched stream-of-consciousness flows over adventurous sample-based production. The album s impact steadily grew to alter the landscape of hip hop as it was then known, and its periodic cycles of unavailabilty seem only to have enhanced its mythical status. This Deluxe Edition version is the same remastered and expanded double-disc set that was in the now sold out limited edition tin box reissue, but in a superior quality digipack sleeve with brand new cover art. The audio content is identical; the same 42 tracks including 23 alternate versions, b-sides, instrumentals and acapellas. Still as bold, creative and villainous as it was 12 years ago, only now it s louder and longer. |

J Dilla - Donuts (Stones Throw) 2 x LP Vinyl 2xLP £19.99 Add to basket To really start to talk about how much of a legend Jay Dee has become in the time period of less than a decade would be something pretty much anyone with a pulse knows. Everyone who is anyone in the industry respects and looks up to Jay Dee. Don't get this release twisted either. Some of you might not pick this up because it maybe seems a bit geared toward the beat smiths and you usually don't pick up instrumental discs. All the songs are basically 1- 2-minute beats with most having some kind of vocal samples present. This album is incredible and highly recommended all the way through. Once "Workinonit" hits in, you know what you're in for. |

M.F. Doom "Operation: Doomsday" 4LP Vinyl Tin - IN STOCK NOW !!!
4LP in a Tin w. Lyric Book & Card Set £49.99 Add to basket Ask any true hip-hop fan and he can tell you exactly where and when he first heard DOOM's Operation: Doomsday. Against seeming insurmountable odds, the album - bootlegged mercilessly, floating in and out of print on various labels since it's release in 199 - gained mythical status amongst music aficionados of all backgrounds as one of the landmark releases of the past decade. At its core? One man, a microphone and the Roland VS 1680 and MPC 2000. By the time of Operation: Doomsday's recording, DOOM was a transformed man: a veteran of hip hop's aging "new school" reinvented as the masked, abstract wordsmith of the NOW. His pointed wit, subtly subversive lyrics and stream-of-consciousness flow over adventurous sample-based production created the measuring stick by which rappers in the coming decade would measure themselves. This summer, DOOM's own Metal Face Records will release Operation: Doomsday as it was intended to be heard: as a special remastered and expanded 4 LP set, featuring a 32-page, 7" x 7" lyric book and a complete collection of alternate versions, b-sides and instrumentals, packaged in a 12.75" round vinyl tin. Stones Throw's Jeff Jank, an often DOOM collaborator, and San Francisco-based artist Jason Jagel, who provided the painting for DOOM's MM... Food album, were enlisted to create both an updated version of the album's iconic comic-book style cover art for the box and a set of 10 Doomsday MCs trading cards (featuring DOOM, Kurious and others) especially for this release. Produced by Stones Throw Records GM and A&R Egon under the watchful eyes of DOOM himself, this is Operation: Doomsday as it was intended to be experienced. |

MF Doom - Operation: Doomsday (Expanded Edition Boxset) £99.99 Add to basket Remastered and Expanded 42 Track 2CD Set, Alternate Versions, B-Sides, Rare Originals and Instrumentals, 32-Page Lyric Book, Doomsday MCs Card Set, Unique Limited Metal Box Packaging. Check out the whole content on here: http://www.youtube.com/user/getondowntv Operation: Doomsday has floated in and out of print since its original 199 pressing on famed New York label Fondle 'Em, attaining mythical status amongst underground fans as one of the landmark releases of the decade, showcasing MF Doom's abstract wordplay, pointed wit, subtly subversive lyrics and alcohol drenched stream-of-consciousness flows over adventurous sample-based production. The album's impact steadily grew to alter the landscape of hip hop as it was then known, and its periodic cycles of unavailabilty seem only to have enhanced its mythical status. This new version presents it as a remastered and expanded double-disc set, featuring a 32-page lyric book plus 23 alternate versions, b-sides, instrumentals and acapellas, packaged in a 7" x 8" x 4" lunchbox tin, with handle and snap-lock clasp. San Francisco-based artist Jason Jagel, who provided the incredible painting for Doom's MMŠFOOD album, was enlisted to create both an updated version of the album's original iconic (copyright-infringing) comic-book artwork to cover the whole box, along with a sealed pack of Doomsday MCs trading cards, featuring MF Doom, Kurious, and others - 10 in total, one for each character featured on the album. Still as bold, creative and villainous as it was 12 years ago, only now it's louder and longer, you won't need a headful of chaos to figure out the lyrics or a bag to carry it home in, and you'll be the envy of your homies every time you get your sandwiches out. |

Vex Ruffin - Crash Course EP CD CD £6.99 Add to basket On paper Vex Ruffin's music is simple: an untrained punk musician who uses a few basic instruments in uncomplicated ways, he calls the style 'minimalist.' Although it may not seem like it upon first listen, Vex's music is rooted in sampling and hip hop beat-making culture. The SP 303 sampler provides the drums and other sounds, a purchase inspired by Madlib. Vex is the first and only artist signed to Stones Throw Records on the strength of an unsolicited demo sent through the mail. Peanut Butter Wolf recalls, "It was kind of a fluke that I listened. I just liked the drawing on the cover so I decided to check it out. I called the phone number on the CD and Vex thought I was his friend playing a practical joke." These days, Vex is playing shows around L.A. and O.C. as a 3-piece band while getting ready for his full length at the end of 2012. He just played his dream gig at The Smell and is now ready for Coachella and 106 & Park. |

After a mutual decision to part ways with Little Brother before the groups final album, 9th has put his focus on both on his long awaited solo album, as well as launching the careers of his IWWMG/Jamla signees Rapsody, Big Remo, Thee Tom Hardy and more. 9th Wonder's cultural influence goes well beyond reaching fans through his music. The producer is currently a professor at Duke University, and recently had a documentary entitled The Wonder Year released that followed a year in the life of 9th Wonder. "If there was ever a better time to express how I feel about hip-hop music, black music, or just music in general......it would be to do it now....on this project. My career has been from the depths of the underground, to the pop charts, but it has always stayed my sound, and what I believed in to be pure........welcome to the Wonder Years," says 9th Wonder. |

Mr. Chop - Switched On CD CD £7.99 Add to basket Traffic Entertainment Group, in association with Five Day Weekend presents to you, Switched On, the newest project from Mr. Chop. The producer, engineer and multi-instrumentalist behind several Now-Again and Jazzman Records releases, is the proprietor of Cheshire, UK based Ape Recording Studios one of the finest analog studios in the world, and a repository for vintage synthesizers, guitars, drums and gear sourced from the world over. Which brings us to Switched On, his homage to the great Moog-lead albums that proliferated in the wake of the synthesizer's invention in the late 60s and early 70s. But, unlike those records - like Dick Hyman's Age of Electronicus which contained one great synth-funk track amidst a series of soft pop hits, this album is all killer, and no filler. Mr. Chop tackles songs by the likes of Can, the JBs, Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Smith via a still-futuristic blend of heavy drums and funky basslines by The Heliocentrics' Malcolm Catto and Jake Ferguson, and his own fuzzy guitars and cosmic keys. |

Big Noyd - Episodes Of A Hustla CD CD £8.99 Add to basket Amongst Mobb Deep's younger fans, many probably wonder who Big Noyd is and why when Prodigy and Havoc are around, he's never far behind. They likely weren't around in the mid-1990s, when Noyd had electrified audiences with his scene-stealing performance on Mobb Deep's single "Give Up the Goods" from their landmark The Infamous LP. That helped build the buzz for his debut album Episodes of a Hustla. Released on Tommy Boy Records in 1996, the album is produced exclusively by Havoc and features four guest appearances by Prodigy. Considered one of the classic examples of the Queensbridge style epitomized by artists like Tragedy, Cormega and Mobb Deep themselves, Episodes of a Hustla features dark, haunting beats and vivid lyrical depictions of life in the projects of New York City during the Guiliani Era. Stand-out tracks include "Recognize & Realize (Part I)," "It's on You" and "Usual Suspect." Traffic Entertainment is proud to present Big Noyd's Episodes of a Hustla in a new digipak edition. |

Skull Snaps - Skull Snaps (Get On Down) CD £8.99 Add to basket Skull Snaps's legacy isn't defined by a prolific catalog or the longevity of their career. In fact, this album from 1973 is the group's only album, yet it was enough to earn them a place as one of the more mysterious and fascinating funk ensembles of the era. Previously known as The Diplomats, the group featuring Sam Culley, Erv Waters and George Bragg became the Skull Snaps after several notable releases (including She's the One ), and their self-titled album is nine tracks worth of gruff, unpolished vocals, crisp drums and driving pace that hasn't diminished with age. I'm Your Pimp echoes the jazz-funk fusion sound of Blaxploitation cinema, while the second single Snapped is fueled by a tough horn break. But the real jewel here is It's a New Day, the group's signature song, who's unmistakable opening drum break has become a staple ingredient of hip-hop cuts by Ol Dirty Bastard, Das EFX, Eric B. & Rakim, Digable Planets, DJ Shadow and others. In continuing our series of rare, vintage funk reissues, Get On Down is proud to present Skull Snaps in deluxe paste-on gatefold packaging. |

Del Tha Funkee Homosapien Golden Era (The Council) Vinyl LP 2xLPs £15.99 Add to basket From Oakland, CA comes Del the Funky Homosapien; a true innovator & legend in the world of Hip-Hop. Having already turned out incredible releases in the 90s, the early 2000s saw Del's star rise even further. Del linked up with super-producer Dan The Automator and world-class turntablist Kid Koala to create one of the most innovative Hip-Hop albums in modern history, Deltron 3030. Deltron received amazing reviews (4.5 stars from Rolling Stone) and continued on to further secure Del's place in Hip-Hop history. The ideas and concepts born with Deltron 3030 allowed for the creation of Del's next project; the Gorillaz collaboration. With Dan The Automator at the helm, Damon Albarn (Blur), Tom Tom Club's Tina Weymouth, Buena Vista Social Club star Ibrahim Ferrer and Kid Koala working together, the album was an immediate hit. Del's vocals on the smash single "Clint Eastwood" helped the Gorillaz sell over 5 million records. Recently Del dropped "Golden Era", which Hiphopdx describes as "Del channeling the emcees of the late 80s‹stream-of-consciousness raps punctuated by ridiculous braggadocio‹but through a filter that is unmistakably Del." Now The Council proudly bring you "Golden Era" the way many of us heard the golden era, on vinyl.This double LP release from Del the Funky Homosapien features 4 bonus tracks not available on CD. |

Stepkids - Stepkids (Stones Throw) CD CD £7.49 Add to basket East Coast American psych-soul outfit The Stepkids are three singer-songwriters destined for great things together. The Stepkids groove is a fusion of 70s soul, funk, punk, jazz, folk, West African rhythms and modern classical. This gifted band absorb it all, then produce, engineer and record something altogether new on a reel-to-reel. All three of us write and all three sing, says Jeff Gitelman, who resigned from touring as Alicia Keys' guitarist to concentrate full-time on recording The Stepkids album. Drummer Tim Walsh continues, There's an equal split in the creative process. Any lyric, any melody, any idea could have been done by any of us. This approach comes from more than a decade of musical experimentation and experience. Raised on the East Coast jazz and the R&B circuit, individual band members went on to share stages with 50 Cent and Lauryn Hill, tour internationally with indie punk band Zox, score movies and commercials, and produce solo albums. Now it s time for The Stepkids to take their time in the spotlight. |

Stetsasonic - On Fire (Re-Issue) CD CD £8.99 Add to basket Years before The Roots became a household name, Stetsasonic was already pushing the boundaries of what was considered "hip-hop." Formed in 1979, the crew‹featuring Delite, Daddy-O and Frukwan on vocals, with music from DBC, Prince Paul and Wise‹turned heads with their vibrant fusion of hip-hop and live instruments. Their 1986 debut album, On Fire, introduced the world to their unique sound: lots of punchy drum breaks and b-boy aesthetics, with upbeat, positive party rhymes. Prince Paul, who would later go on to find success with another Tommy Boy Records act (De La Soul), was already showing a talent for creative productions with tracks like "Just Say Stet," "On Fire" and the lead single "Go Stetsa." Frukwan would also join Prince Paul as part of the Gravediggaz in the early 90s. Recognized by The Source magazine as one of the "100 Best Rap Albums" ever in 1998 (with "Go Stetsa" also named to their list of "100 Best Rap Singles"), On Fire is an undisputed hip-hop classic and an essential part of any music fan's CD library. |

Mad Skillz - From Where??? (Re-Issue) CD CD £8.99 Add to basket Pound-for-pound, Mad Skillz may be one of the most underrated emcees of the 1990s. The Virginianative earned a reputation for dropping incredible freestyles littered with punchlines and witty references, which eventually led to a recording contract with Atlantic Records in 1995. His debut album From Where??? was released the following year, and despite being overlooked by mainstream audiences, it remains amongst his best work as a solo artist. His prodigious talents attracted some of the era's best producers‹including Buckwild, Jay Dee (J Dilla), The Beatnuts and Large Professor‹to the project. Led by the single "The Nod Factor," From Where??? served as a display of Skillz's verbal dexterity and spontaneous creativity on the mic, not to mention a breakthrough release for an artist from the mid-Atlantic. In continuing their efforts to unearth rare classics from hip-hop's golden era, Traffic Entertainment presents From Where???, the debut album of Mad Skillz and an essential title in any vintage hip-hop collection. |

Foreign Exchange (Phonte of Little Brother + Nicolay) - Connected (Re-Issue) 2 CDs CD £9.99 Add to basket Representative of how the Internet can aid in creating music, The Foreign Exchange started when Little Brother rapper Phonte heard a beat on /Okayplayer.com by Dutch producer Nicolay and asked if he could lay some vocals over it. Nicolay agreed, and the song "Light It Up" appeared shortly after as the B-side to "Whatever You Say" off Little Brother's 2003 album, The Listening. Relying mainly on Instant Messenger and email, the duo continued to work together, with Nicolay sending beats to Phonte, who would add vocals and send them back until they had enough tracks together to form an album. Not once during the entire process of making their debut, Connected, which came out in 2004, did the members of the Foreign Exchange speak over the phone or in person. Seven years after its release (and 2+ years out of print), The Foreign Exchange Music are happy to announce the re-pressing of the debut album "Connected." Featuring guest turns from Rapper Big Pooh, Von Pea (of Tanya Morgan), and longtime +FE collaborators Darien Brockington and YahZarah, "Connnected" was originally released on BBE in 2004. The album has been officially out of print since 2009 and original pressings currently sell for upwards of $50 on Amazon and eBay. The new +FE Music reissue contains the original "Connected" album, as well as all the accompanying remixes and instrumentals packaged in a specially priced double-disc digipak complete with all the original artwork. |

Defying the list of announced hip-hop collabs that never see the light of day, Gangrene has just emerged. The album is called Gutter Water and it is being released on the Decon label. Starting from the album title, there's no mistaking the style of Gutter Water: drums smothered that go-jump-off-a-bridge, rusty-nail-in-the-eye, nasty toilet bowl rawness, the kind of grimy music both of these producers have spent a decade perfecting. |

Neek The Exotic & Large Professor - Still On The Hustle (Fat Beats) CD £11.99 Add to basket 2LP £18.49 Add to basket Though their career paths have always intertwined, Neek the Exotic and Large Professor's 'Still On The Hustle' marks the first true collaboration in both legends' long, eclectic oeuvre. Large Professor earned his place in the pantheon of hip-hop heavyweights by founding Main Source and producing songs for Nas' Illmatic and Kool G Rap's Wanted Dead or Alive. It wasn't until he joined forces with Neek on 1992's White Men Can't Jump soundtrack that both artists were launched into the global spotlight. The remainder of the 90's and 2000's saw the two producer/MC's cementing their legacy in collaborations with equally big name artists, such as Pete Rock, Busta Rhymes, The X-Ecutioners, and Mobb Deep. 'Still On The Hustle', a culmination of ten years in utero, stands testament to the rich history, personal battles, and against-all-odds accomplishments that mark both mens' road to recording this soon-to-be classic album. |

Nice & Smooth (Greg Nice + Smooth B) - 'Nice & Smooth (Re-Issue) CD £8.99 Add to basket When the team of Greg Nice and Smooth B made their first appearance on Big Daddy Kane's "Pimpin' Ain't Easy" in 1989, they instantly became one of the most recognizable duos in hip-hop. Known for their catchy, lighthearted and humorous tracks, Nice & Smooth combined Greg Nice's lyrical dexterity with Smooth B's slow, talkative flow to create an often imitated, never duplicate style that won admiration from the likes of Kane, Tupac, DJ Premier and many others. Their self-titled 1989 debut proved their initial chemistry was no fluke, to quote their single "Early to Rise," they "kept coming back with more and more hits." Aside from that song, the album also contains "Funky For You" and "Perfect Harmony," tracks that highlighted the pair's unique delivery, sense of humor and ear for catchy beats. The group went on to experience further success in the subsequent years, but their debut remains possibly their best work, and a worthy inclusion on The Source magazine's list of 100 Best Rap Albums of All-Time. In continuing their series of classic hip-hop reissues, Get On Down is proud to present Nice & Smooth's long out-of-print debut album in a special edition, featuring audio remastered from the original master tapes and digipak packaging featuring the original album artwork. |

D-Nice - Call Me D-Nice (Extended Re-Issue) CD £7.99 Add to basket When Boogie Down Productions' DJ/producer/hypeman D-Nice went solo in 1990, the world wasn't quite sure what to expect. Taking over as KRS-One's DJ after Scott La Rock's murder in 1987, D-Nice was a relative unknown, despite having played a part in the group's classic albums By All Means Necessary and the follow-up Edutainment. Setting out to make his name as an independent artist, he delivered Call Me D-Nice, an album that abandoned BDP's militant political rhetoric in favor of a fun, upbeat attitude that played to his strengths: witty and boastful rhymes backed by funky, sample-based beats. The album yielded a #1 hit with the title track (along with "Crumbs On the Table", which made the Top 20) and proved that D-Nice could do much more than just play the background. Out of print for over 20 years, D-Nice's debut album Call Me D-Nice returns in an expanded edition housed in a 6-panel digipak featuring original and extended artwork with liner notes for the bonus cuts written by Noah Uman. Extended Audio includes 2 non-album cuts (produced by Scott La Rock) as well as 12" mixes and instrumentals previously unavailable on CD format. Also includes the 12" singles "Glory" and "The TR 808 Is Coming." |

Atmosphere (Slug + Ant) - The Family Sign (Rhymesayers)
CD £7.99 Add to basket 2 LP £24.99 Add to basket Atmosphere returns with their 7th official studio album and the newest addition to their unparalleled body of work. The Family Sign comes from a place well refined and firmly planted, from a universal perspective. It's about being okay with losing friends and strengthening your bonds with others, celebrating the person who's been the most positive in your life, your kids, your homies, leaving the people you need to behind, and bringing the ones you love with you. It's about your family, your time and the time you have with them. It's about living and dying. It's the truth about family, that it comes from loyalty as much as biology. It's about breaking down your perceptions of family and really appreciating the people who've made you who you are and continue doing so. The Family Sign is Atmosphere's most personal and intimate album yet; it involves and engages the listener like never before. Slug's signature voice weaves in and out of Ant's ASR-born production, Nate Collis' bluesy guitar riffs and the sound of Erick Anderson's unmistakable keys giving The Family Sign a fresh, unique edge without sacrificing Atmosphere's signature sound. Custom printed heavyweight digi-pak that doubles as a picture frame with stand. Includes 5 silver foil stamped pictures backed with lyrics that can be changed in the frame. |

Ramelzee & K Rob - Beat Bop 12" WHITE VINYL £15.99 Add to basket Back in stock! 1983's epic 'Beat Bop' by Rammelzee and K-Rob is best known as the magnificent theme for the film, 'Style Wars'. Rammellzee's old school flow perfectly encapsulates the film's energy, rapping about The Son of Sam and other noteworthy elements of NYC pop culture as The Rock Steady Crew break dance against Dynamic Rockers. It is a stunning ten minutes of psychedelic instruments and stunning old school anthem lyrics. 'Beat Bop' came about when Fab 5 Freddy took Rammellzee to meet the up and coming (and now legendary) Warhol protege, Jean-Michel Basquiat. |

Count Bass D & Insight - The Risk Takers CD £9.99 Add to basket "The Risk Takers" celebrates the style of two MC's & Producers, in a mood of positive emulation. "The Risk Takers" doesn't care about mainstream as much as underground. So, exit the classic formulas, Count Bass D & Insight have favoured a more subtle universe. The tracks are mixed and self-sufficients, showing on different strokes various atmospheres and moods. We can find here what made us thrill on the first Pharcyde or Deltron 3030. An innocence and a certain Hip-Hop classicism which paradoxically get the agreement of all and overtake the divides of the genre. Maybe this is what means having style and brio. |

James Pants - James Pants (Stones Throw) 2LP £18.99 Add to basket James Pants' third album is appropriately self-titled, as it is the first album that sees him avoiding gimmicks and coming into his own as an original entity. Released in 2008, Welcome found the Spokane local appropriating electro-funk, and 2009's Seven Seals was a spooky, psychedelic concept album about forming a cult. James Pants is a personal record, but it's still out there. Like most Stones Throw artists, Pants is never content unless he's pushing boundaries and evolving. Here, to use his own words, he's influenced by Twin Peaks and `50s diner songs. He uses crazy amounts of slapback echo and a wall of `90s synths to get this sort of ominous, retro-cool sound. |

King of Kings DVD
£11.99 Add to basket This tell-all, anti-drug docu-drama is the urban version of the hit film "Once Upon a Time in America." It depicts the life of three brothers raised in Southeast Queens, N.Y. named "Pretty" Tony, Lance & Todd Feurtado who have now been dubbed the "King of Kings," According to government and news sources in the early 70's they were the leaders of the notorious "Seven Crowns" Gang, which started selling marijuana and then graduated to heroin and cocaine. They were the "Masterminds of Crime" behind a continuing crime enterprise spreading over 23 states and earning up to 15 million dollars a week. Their operation was so ruthless and sophisticated they avoided prosecution for nearly a quarter century. They methodically launched and/or influenced the criminal careers of some of this country's most notorious drug kingpins including Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff, Lorenzo "Fat Cat" Nichols (serving 45 years for drugs and murder), Pappy Mason (serving life for the hit on NYC police officer Ed Byrnes), George Wallace, Tommy Mickens, Gerald "Prince" Miller, and others. The film also shows how the Feurtado's have turned their life around since their release from prison by working with Russell Simmons and others to educate our youth about drugs. |

Jamel Shabazz - Seconds of my life (Hardback Book) £20.99 Add to basket At age nine, Jamel Shabazz was introduced to photography by his father, who kept a signed copy of Leonard Freed´s Black in White America on the family´s coffee table. Intrigued by Freed´s provocative images of both Southern and urban life, Shabazz knew then it was his calling to document his community and the people who gave it life. Photography has given Shabazz a sense of purpose, allowing him to connect with the people he encounters on a daily basis. By connecting with his subjects, complimenting their style, and recognizing their potential-and then in turn publishing these images for the world at large to celebrate-in a small but meaningful way Shabazz has been able to counteract the damage society can wreak on self esteem. Having worked as a corrections officer in New York City for twenty years, Shabazz has witnessed the worst in humanity, yet he remains a humanist dedicated to preserving the legacy of our time, shooting with an eye for the future while preserving the present as a document of our collective past. Seconds of My Life, his fourth powerHouse book, pays tribute to the people he has met throughout his struggles and his travels, and unstoppable tour de force through a remarkable life. 256 pages, hardcover |

BONAFIDE #05 - OLD SCHOOL X NEW SCHOOL SPECIAL (with Free Limited Ricky Powell Postcard!!) £3.99 Add to basket Bonafide set out with the aim to celebrate 'old-school, mid-school and new-school creativity', five issues on we're proud to present the old school x new school issue. In hip-hop chronological order we speak to the Godfather of it all, Grandmaster Flash, profile EPMD, the funky Long Island duo from the golden age of rap and get crazy with 'the lazy hustler' and fourth Beastie Boy, Ricky Powell. Still in NYC, we speak to a leading voice for alternative hip-hop, EL-P, who, nearly 15 years on from the release of the Funcrusher Plus (as part of Company Flow), reveals that there's plenty of drive left in the tank. From the West Coast we catch up with the revered turntablist and Beat Junkie, J Rocc. In the new-school side of the magazine, we break bread with those responsible for some of the most exhilarating new sounds in British urban music. We have exclusives with DELS and Ghostpoet as they launch their careers with original and nuanced albums. For this issue's roundtable we speak with the men behind Numbers, the Glasgow based record label that has rewritten the rulebook on how techno, electronic, R'n'B, house and hip-hop music should sound. And the resulting mutant strain of bass music is destroying dance floors the world over. On the visual side, we delve deep into the Brainfeeder psyche, speaking with designer and artist Charles Munka about his contribution to the label's distinct art direction. |

80 Blocks From Tiffany's £10.99 Add to basket Inspired by journalist Jon Bradshaw's Esquire Magazine article, "Savage Skulls," Gary Weis, a filmmaker for Saturday Night Live, convinced SNL creator Lorne Michaels to help turn the concept into a feature-length documentary. Documenting the everyday activities of two South Bronx street gangs, the Savage Nomads and the Savage Skulls, the film is a glimpse into a different time, when the South Bronx was considered 'a land of nowhere.' The 80 Blocks from Tiffany's DVD is beautifully packaged, housed in a 40-page hard cover book within a slip case. DVD bonus materials include brand new never-before-seen interviews with Weis and director of photography Joan Churchill, while the accompanying book contains all new liner notes and Jon Bradshaw's "Savage Skulls" article in its entirety. |
