Essential Mos Def double slap with Ms Fat Booty and Mathematics two principle cuts. Little hard to choose what best to play as they are both fantastic. Mild wear to disc but plays close to EX, check soundclip.

Rawkus classic off the Lyricist Lounge compilation. Two must have sides with Kweli's Manifesto on the flip. Cool cover art by Ge-ology. US original in strong VG+ condition, soft scuffing but payback not affected, cove...

Up front warning, this is the bootleg press, not the Columbia promo. Nasir Jones talking the harsh realities of life in the Queensbridge Projects on that smooth Gap Band sample flip. Straight EX shape, cover with ligh...

Another essential from Illmatic produced by genius Q-Tip who never really gets the credit as producer as he clearly deserves. All the Tribe stuff, Moob Deep, Nas and much more to his name (often uncredited). One Love ...

The Soul Brother No 1 at the stearing wheel with Nas showcasing just why he was hyped as superstar rapper even before Illmatics dropped. Q-Tip remix flipside plus instrumentals on offer. Nice VG+ copy with moderate we...

Funky East Coast girls rap that lends from Eric B and Rakim. US original in Mercury company sleeve.

Pressing plant fresh copy of this French dancefloor friendly groove with Menelik busy on the mic. Cover with light storage wear, record is near mint.

Juicy is great and will get most crowds going but the deal maker here to me is Unbelievable with instrumental take flipside. Pretty sure it is only out as 12inch on this pressing. Significant DJ wear so downgraded but...

Michal Urbaniak produced electro piece with smacking vocoders and mid tempo bassline. Pretty hard catch around here n Break Records in matching company sleeve. Writing on label.

Can't Go Wrong is not really doing it for me but the flip with Dangerous is seriously on point. Big L laying down lyrical laws on fat Beatminerz production. Disc with faint hairlines, playgrade is EX.

Flipside favorite with the Premo produced My World surely one of O.C.'s best. US original in decent VG+ condition and cover in shrink.

Premo at the knobs doing what comes natural with O.C. dropping science on the mic. Essential east coast hip hop material. US original in solid EX condition.

Prince Po and Pharoahe Monch representing Queens. The flipside with Numbers stand out to me but both sides are rocking. Graded the disc VG due to surface lines but play-grade is significantly better, check soundclip f...

Notorious BIG kicking off a long list of MCs rhyming on beats by Easy Mo Bee and U-Neek including Redman, Buckshot, Busta Rhymes and Ill Al Skratch. Scrace 12inch pressing very rarely for sale. Top condition close to ...

Love this gem by the legendary Mount Vernon hip hop duo. Flipside has remix versions and instrumentals of T.R.O.Y. so a great 12inch pick. This is my own copy that has seen plenty of action in the field, hence the VG ...

Landmark launch by Pharoahe Monch that always gets the crowd going. Great remixes with guest flows by Roots Manuva, Method Man, Redman and Shabaam Sahdeeq. Disc with a handful of hairlines but play great, cover with l...

Parrish Smith still making Dollars. From his solo 1994 debut release. Fantastic use of the Ohio Players Funky Worm sample. Good track for the clubs. US original in VG+ condition, cover still in shrink.

Quality old school rap from Pryme Tyme on very rare 12 inch in original Hits In The Groove company sleeve with tiny sticker. First time in stock so don't sleep.

Rough sounding gangsta rap that fans of Cypress Hill will surely get down with. Pete Rock on the mix and although the Chocolate Boy Wonder is the remix master in my ears I went for the original version on the clip. US...

Chuck D, Flavor Flav and the rest of the PE crew landing another in-your-face banger from their Apocalypse 91 album. Love the Almighty Raw 125th Street Bootleg Mix. Dutch pressing in picture cover.
