L.A. old school hip hop group with ironic rhymes and electro beats. Does not show up here all too often. Small writing on label.

Spotless US original with the catchy Hold On making use of Simply Red's smash but rather flip it for Lord Jamar's fat beats and rhymes on Step Into Da Cipher, Classic joint. Top condition with cover in shrink.

Fair dues, Grand Puba's flow is special but Sadat X, Alamo and Lord Jamar still pulling weights as a trio. Diggin In The Crates production with Diamond D at the knobs. Strong EX condition cover and wax.

Underground hip hop act out of NYC with The Wrecka an indie flow / straight beat style and the flip Shiw Takes an ol school vibe. Rare 12inch in near perfect condition. White jacket with original sticker.

Raw electro jam with solid rhyming by mixed Miami group. Copy looks poor but plays much better than appears, certainly VG if not VG+.

Chi town fave Common Sence with two hard hitting bangers for Rawkus. Hi-Tek productions and Maseo cutting things up on the ones and twos...

It does not get much better than Common on this early NO ID production out in '95. Large Professor's remix version is equally strong and makes for one hot 12inch always in high demand. US 1st pressing in stunning cond...

Essential for the remix of Flava In Ya Ear with Busta Rhymes, LL Cool J, Rampage and Biggie dropping rhymes on Easy Mo Bee's beats. US original with soft lines, plays solid EX, cover in shrink.

Great flows and production here from Creutzfeld & Jakob featuring Kool Savas. For those who does not get the lyrics, just check the beats. Works a blast... Rare and collectable German Hip Hop.

Dilla production and DJ Spinna on the mix how can things go wrong. Conscious rap joint from their brilliant Stake Is High album. UK press in spotless NM condition, cover with tiny promo sticker on back.

Epic anthem that can not fail a serious hip hop collection. That raw buzzing in-your-face production is so unique and always works wonders on a big system. Hard to find original pressing in solid VG+ condition.

Old school Delicious 12" in UK company sleeve. Good use of Cheryl Lynn Got To Be Real. Spins those tracks together at your next block party. VG copy with lines / marks but plays well.

Massive hip hop anthem from the early nineties. Record visually has got plenty of light marks but plays VG(+). German pressing with alternative cover art.

Funky Deutsch rap jam with four banging tracks by the German chiefrockers Denis, Enrico and Mattias. This copy includes two identical 12s in case you want to cut up the action. Visual VG grade but playback is signific...

German rap pioneers Fanta4 with one of their earliest get downs on wax. Always lyrically entertaining and the production is on point as well. Flipside with Eins Und Eins is a funny take of the 2 Live Crew anthem. Reco...

Rework The Angles is great but The Alchemist jam Guaranteed here offered as 12inch mix is the highlight to me on this '99 release. Top production and fine flows by Evidence and Rakaa. US original in strong VG+ shape.
