DESCRIPTION

RECORDED IN NEW YORK

More jazz to dazzle the ears! If you're not familiar with this group, take a listen and join their already solid following in not only the U.S., but also South America. These 4 guys, Don Alias, Gene Perla, Bob Mintzer and Kenny Kirkland don't only possess all this musical wealth just to squander though! They love to perform, and spread their music. And they often will hold clinics which are not only listening but also learning experiences... DOWNBEAT has received them quite well, and one glance at each member's discography puts them right up in the "heavy" league!
Richman Bros. Records, Inc.


Most adventuresome release from the Alliance to date. Everything is well thought out and conceived at a high level of artistic achievement. Jazz programmers will find this of special interest, and jazz buyers will find this something worth having.
Midwest Record Recap


With their musically diverse fourth album, Stone Alliance proves that they deserve the respect and praise of the jazz and contemporary music community.

Highly recommended addition to any playlist!
Eric Gribin, The Jazz Line


Stone Alliance: Heads Up (PM) is an exciting set featuring some top contemporary jazzmen. Led by bassist Gene Perla and drummer Don Alias, the group fuses jazz, Latin, and funk idioms into a cohesive music which is both rhythmically and melodically appealing. The mostly original compositions give Kenny Kirkland, Bob Mintzer, Robert Piltch, Jan Hammer, and a number of other players room to stretch out, and there's some inspired soloing throughout. Stone Alliance represents "fusion" at its best, and the group is deserving of much wider exposure. Alias' "Uncle Jemima" and Orlando Lopez' "Para Los Papinos" are knockouts.
"Gem" Lieberson


What makes this group stand out among others is the natural feeling they have for playing with and among a complicated melange of rhythms.
Bob Rosenblum


Stone Alliance has succeeded in creating a complex sound easy to listen to.
M.P., Erie Times


A really tasty fusion set, with the keyboards covered by Kenny Kirkland and Jan Hammer. No commercial compromises, just honest music, with lots of synthesizer leads and background keyboards.
Jim Aikin, Contemporary Keyboard


"Just love 'Heads Up.' I will give it maximum exposure."
Ian Drever, CFUV, University of Victoria

DESCRIPTION
They were, or rather are, the first representatives of the latest musical evolution that has mastered the world. We were, and still are, a dominated, wondrous audience quite fascinated by a different way of life through music. It seems that what Stone Alliance was saying -- about telling a story each time one plays -- is true. We listen to the story woven by the music of Stone Alliance and we identify with it; in the long run we become enriched. And who else but AMIGOS would enrich us? Thank you, Stone Alliance!
Club de Arte


While most of the jazz world is heading toward either commercialism or the avant-garde, it's a pleasure to find a group such as Stone Alliance filling in this ever widening gap.
CBF


This album was recorded after the American trio had stayed a year in Buenos Aires, playing with and absorbing the talents of the Argentinian musicians who accompany here. The result is a dazzling blend of styles, and Stone Alliance's best effort to date. There is some fierce playing, notably from saxophonist Steve Grossman, but the overall feeling is Latin American melancholy and rhythm.

Percussionist Don Alias seems most adept at this synthesis; his African jungle percussion is delightful when positioned against the throb of congas, whistles and other South American instruments.
T.E.


What seven musicians can do with the aid of double and triple tracking, overdubbing, mixing and editing is not only astounding -- but an absolute delight.

Highly recommended to the intelligent jazz-lover.
Mark Allen, Record Review


This gem of a recording, done in Buenos Aires, features the trio known as Stone Alliance -- Steve Grossman, tenor sax, Gene Perla, bass, keyboards and guitar, and Don Alias, percussion and guitar -- augmented by local musicians. The music, as expected, is highly rhythmic, but also unexpectedly eletronic in spots. The traditional -- abandon on the bright "I'll Tell You Tomorrow" -- is contrasted with synthesizer overdub on the languid bolero, "Mujeres Sud Americanas." "Amigos," a surprise favorite, is a brief three-part exposition of what Latin percussion should sound like.

DESCRIPTION

Late lyrical god and actor Chino XL unveils his long-awaited magnum opus supremely scored by brilliant production messiah BodyBagBen. Darkness & Other Colors is the 6th full-length studio LP albeit posthumous debut from the East Orange, New Jersey emcee. There was a bit of drama between Chino’s estate & Holy Toledo Productions founder/A&R extraordinaire M80 surrounding the release of this album,
but anyone who admires Chino’s art can see why M80 wanted to drop Darkness & Other Colors.

So it could see the light of day since it very much offers explanation that he was clearly adamant of perfecting it back in 2020 when he was still here with us during the COVID lockdowns.

DESCRIPTION

This is part of Now Again Records multiple LP series on the History of Memphis Rap, which attempts to capture Memphis and its underground rap scene as it began to pro- duce some of the most distinctive music of the 90s.
This was a unique hip-hop strain - visceral and often vicious. It was a local, low-fi, cas- sette-tape based movement - yet it went on to change the course of rap music. These albums have never been pressed on vinyl - until now. From Skinny Pimp and Car- mike to Gangsta Blac and Shawty Pimp, these albums have been relegated to the prover- bial bins of history and bootlegged, with unofficial copies still fetching top dollar on the secondary market. These albums were all licensed directly from their original creators, and come on limited edition colored vinyl with artist-approved imagery for their
first LP iterations.
You can read the story of the Memphis Rap scene in a 12-page, oversized booklet with notes by Torii MacAdams. It captures the story of Memphis rap starting with the city’s founding and ending with an auto supply shop that sold these albums over the counter, with all points in between.

DESCRIPTION

With the release of Love (the) Ominous World, Blu & Exile have returned with an album that brilliantly builds on their soulful, reflective foundation with stunning musicality and sharp songwriting. Their shared history as one of hip-hop’s best duos continues to grow, especially as they venture into new territory while embracing and refining what made them special. “This album is our most unique work to date,” Blu says. “We took a different approach with the direction while still staying true to the culture our music has built with our fan base.” That direction is one that finds the two California natives crafting records that would sound right at home on the radio and hip-hop charts. Like “Suga & Butta,” for example, which features recent Def Jam signee Rae Khalil and rising star Ahmad Anwar. Every element of the track is as sweet and smooth as its namesake, from the lyrics to the production. There’s also the raw G-funk banger “Chucks,” a snarling collaboration with West Coast stalwarts KXNG Crooked and Kurupt. Love (the) Ominous World is a defining moment for Blu & Exile, who are eager to share it with both their longtime fanbase as well as those just catching onto their celebrated discography.

“New York’s Harlem River Drive is a dividing line, a highway where the rich zip past the poor,” says singer Jimmy Norman. Eddie Palmieri’s Latin-funk band of the same name tackled these hard truths, playing prisons and speak- ing to the common man. Ultimately, Norman and Palmieri made a powerful socio-political statement
that continues to resonate to this day."

- Pablo Yglesias/Wax Poetics


TRACKLIST
A1. Harlem River Drive (Theme Song)
A2. If (We Had Peace Today)
A3. Idle Hands B1. Broken Home
B2. Seeds Of Life


DESCRIPTION
When initially released in 1971, many critics panned Eddie Palmieri’s album Harlem River Drive. Those critics were wrong. Regardless of critical opinion, the release was not the crossover success Palmieri and Roulette Records had hoped for, at least in the immediate. Over the years the release has developed a following among listeners, DJs, and aficionados of rare-grooves.
The record may have been recorded towards the end of the Latin soul era, yet it features that genre's wonderful mix of Puerto Rican soul, Spanish Harlem Latin, and New York funk. Palmieri worked with an incredibly talented crew of Latin and R&B session musicians to create this quintessential New York vibe, a synthesis of funk and Afro-Cuban sounds. Contributors include Victor Venegas from Mongo Santamaria’s band, Palmieri’s brother Charlie, an accomplished musician in his own right, Bruce Fowler who went on to join Frank Zappa’s band, Dick Meza who went on to great things with Tito Puente, Ray Barretto and Celia Cruz, as well as Andy Gonzalez who’s pedigree includes recordings with Barretto, Johnny Pacheco, Willie Colon
and even Chico O’Farrill. Also appearing Randy Brecker and one of the all-time
greatest of the greats Bernard Purdy.
An over-arching theme of Harlem River Drive is the thought that, as Palmieri puts it “The U.S. is richest country, all this immense wealth, side by side with the most intense poverty, racial prejudice; how is that possible?” A question that’s perhaps more even more relevant today than it was in 1971. A question that can be further explored with Get On Down’s reissue of this seminal recording.

DESCRIPTION

Declaime also known as Dudley Perkins grew up living across the street from Madlib at around the age of eight and nine. They introduced themselves through a week long pop locking battle from across the street, it was Declaime against Madlib and his sister stacey. Once they became friends Madlib began to show Declaime his early beat tapes. He use to use pencils paper foil, pillows and his beatboxing skills which was far advanced back then. Decalime and his family moved and they lost contact for a short time. Declaime would run into Madlib every once in a while in the neighborhood grocery store where Madlib once worked. It wasnt until about 93-94 when Declaime's brother who was still classmates with Madlib aka Otis Jackson and some of the earlier crate diggas palace crew members introduced Decalime to Kankick who was in a group at that time with Otis, WildChild and DJ Romes, they were called the Lootpack. Other crew members were Kazi, Medaphoar, gods Gift, Gran Vanac, Nick Anderson, Abstract Wino and Roc C. Kankick was the leader of a crew called the Fonk Farm, CDP and The Farm were 2 crews in one. Madlib headed CDP. Tons of recordings were made by these two crews, many battles were fought to get any sort of recognition in the town of Oxnard. Madlib with the help of the crew, forged a new sound that soon was heard all around the world, to this day. Collection of tracks recorded from 93-96 at the Crate Diggas Palace in Oxnard California. Originaly pressed up on cassettes and dats, these tracks were lost for almost 25 years. Re-masterd by DJ Rhomes and available for the first time in all formats.

The lead single Pigeons reverently pays homage to T.O.N.Y., the timeless anthem by esteemed rap duo Capone-N-Noreaga, and utilizes the symbolic imagery of the pigeon — the unofficial mascot of New York City — to capture the essence of NYC Hip Hop and its cultural legacy. Animal Barz features guest appearances from prolific French-American emcee Napoleon Da Legend, esteemed Minneapolis rapper Muja, and scratches on all tracks by Tone Spliff.

Manifest (feat. Apathy, Mickey Factz)

DESCRIPTION
On Awaken The Sleeping Giant, New York emcee Queen Herawin delivers a cathartic blend of stunning tales of personal growth with raw, speaker-shaking instrumentals. As one third of The Juggaknots and through previous solo work, she’s more than proven herself as a force in the world of Hip-Hop. But ATSG is simply on another level—and its release was well worth the wait.   After dropping her debut, Metamorphosis, in 2015, Queen Herawin moved from NYC to Chicago and put out an EP, The Space Between Things. And upon returning to New York she hit a creative wall and began to internalize her feelings and thoughts. Eventually, those emotions that she had turned a blind eye to emerged to tell the story of an awakening. Queen Herawin brings those feelings to life in the form of both track titles and jaw-dropping lyricism, and she gets right to the point on the opener, “Focus.” A gut-punch of writing, the song is also a flat-out banger thanks to Bear-One’s production. It sets the tone for the rest of the record, too, as Herawin moves through emotions like “Anger,” “Denial,” and “Shame” with an unmatched pen game. But she also makes room for bravado and culling self-doubt on standout tracks “Arrogant (feat. Poison Pen)” and “Manifest (feat. Apathy & Mickey Factz).”   “The album is a musical memoir,” Queen Herawin explains. “It’s about acceptance, but also awakening to the things I wanted to bring awareness to.” Most importantly, ATSG represents Queen Herawin’s journey and personal growth, and she hopes it will have a similar effect on listeners.   Awaken The Sleeping Giant hits all major digital retailers and streaming platforms on February 28th via Matic Records. The album features Pretty Bulli, Illa Ghee, Ke Turner, Poison Pen, Open Mike Eagle, Apathy, Mickey Factz, Aaqil Ali, Rachel Walker, and fellow Juggaknot, brother Breeze Brewin. Producers include Bear-One, Supastition, Neff Beats, Solitaire, Johnny Slash, King Rem, B-Money, EMPEE, J.Depina, Neff Beatz, Marlon “Solitaire” King and DJ Deception.

DESCRIPTION
Spacing Out is an instrumental masterpiece only ever issued in Bermuda at the turn of 1970. A mix of the band's out-there original compositions and extravagant covers of The Meters, The Temptations, Aretha Franklin and The Isley Brothers, it established this band as one of the greatest instrumental bands of any genre, and helped kickstart the retro-soul/funk scenes that birthed the likes of Daptone and Big Crown Records. It's certainly a lodestar for Now-Again Records.
This reissue was done with the license and participation of the entire Invaders band, with their story told in great detail in an oversized booklet penned by Jefferson "Chairman" Mao, complete with rare photos of this rarely seen ensemble. From the proverbial stank face-inducing opening bars of reverb-drenched drums and congas that announce Spacing Out, you're thrust into something visceral and fleeting: a pocket universe in which technical excess, chemistry between players, and the uninhibited energy of youth align in a kind of glorious imperfection. Spacing Out is one of the greatest instrumental albums of its or any period in that unmistakably raw - as in honest - way only a crew of largely self-taught young uns could catch a groove.

DESCRIPTION
Originally released in 1970, Soul Rebels marked the first full-length album credited to Bob Marley and The Wailers, establishing it as a cornerstone of the roots reggae movement and a musical monument in the early stages of their career.
This album is a powerful blend of love songs and defiant rebel anthems that captures the essence of the era's burgeoning reggae scene. With its catchy rhythms, revolutionary spirit, and thought-provoking lyrics, this recording stands as a testament to the band's ability to seamlessly merge the themes of love, liberation, and self-awareness.
The title track, ‘Soul Rebels’, has become an anthem for those seeking freedom from societal norms and restrictions, encapsulating the themes of resistance and self-determination that Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer wove into their music. The album also highlights their collaboration with visionary producer Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, recorded at the renowned Randy’s Studio in Kingston, which became the birthplace of some of the most influential sounds in reggae history.

DESCRIPTION
Chic’s Nile Rogers is lauded as an international star and the recently departed Patrick Adams is acknowledged as one of the most important pioneers of disco music, but behind them were an army of lesser-known musicians, producers, and arrangers including one of the founding-fathers of New York Dance, the enigma Lonnie Johnson.
Scorpgemi Records and Lonnie Johnson, the man behind the label, will be unknown to most, but he was an important figure at the birth of dance music. His label featured work by several leading voices of the New York scene and provided one of New York’s most instantly recognisable dance music records— “Keep In Touch (Body To Body)”—one of the greatest club cuts ever.. But Johnson himself leaves hardly a trace, a behind-the-scenes person, and a friend of Patrick Adams who is only known to those who study the small print on record labels.
So, Lonnie Joel Johnson proves to be both highly influential, and almost completely elusive. A backroom person, who created an anthem across the Atlantic from his home base in New York. A man who was instrumental in the development of Patrick Adams’ career from producer of vocal groups to the go-to producer for dancefloor gold. Yet, for all this there are no biographical details, no interviews and almost nothing left behind except for a small but fantastic catalogue of music.

Sammy Davis Jr was a singer, actor, comedian, dancer, TV host and noted amateur photographer. But, he is perhaps best remembered for his role in the iconic film Ocean’s 11 where he played a member of the Rat Pack alongside lifelong friends Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, a role that he lived in real life.
In 1969 he had a #11 Billboard hit with ‘I’ve Gotta Be Me’ after which he signed to the mighty Motown Records in order to reach a younger audience.
The album was released internationally in 1970 and showcased Davis at his smokin’ best covering ‘Spinning Wheel’ and ‘Wichita Lineman’ with his trademark brassy tenor. At the time Davis was a top-draw act in Las Vegas alongside Elvis with whom he developed a close relationship. He appeared in Presley’s concert film That’s The Way It Is and included a superb version of ‘In The Ghetto’ on the album. The set also includes the Motown classics ‘For Once In My Life’, popularised by Stevie Wonder’, and ‘You’ve Made Me So Very Happy’ by Brenda Holloway, co-written by the Holloway sisters and Frank “Do I Love You” Wilson.
Sammy Davis Jr was posthumously awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement and his legacy lives on through his screen performances and his prolific recorded output.

Released in Jamaica in 1971, Soul Revolution Part II is the follow-up to Bob Marley and the Wailers’ 1970 debut album Soul Rebels. Going from strength to strength on the material they recorded for Lee Perry, this 12-tracker constitutes another crop of exceptional early-roots reggae anthems.

Recorded at the famed Randy’s Studio (also known as Studio 17) located at 17 North Parade in Kingston, Jamaica, this is the second full-length collaboration (and last!) between Bob Marley and the Wailers and producer Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry!

The TV series – the album and companion singles – were a huge commercial success and 22 episodes were produced by Hanna-Barbera. It was the first Saturday morning show to feature an African-American cast and the soundtrack was suitably soulful, upbeat and funky. One of the main writers, James Ralph Bailey, was a former member of the Cadillacs and famed for penning songs for Main Ingredient and Isaac Hayes. Bailey is also none other than Chuck Wood, writer and singer, of the Northern Soul anthem “Seven Days Too Long”.

Joey Pastrana had a special gift for singing songs in both English and Spanish. Along with other boogaloo luminaries like Pete Rodriguez and Joe Cuba; Joey Pastrana was responsible for introducing Latin music to many English speakers across America. With a wonderful and talented orchestra, Joey Pastrana paved the way for the new Latin music fusions that have come to be known as the Latin boogaloo. A master of the timbales, Pastrana was also a brilliant singer known internationally for his energizing live performances. Honing his musical skills in his beloved New York City, Joey was enamored at an early age by the sights and sounds coming out of Spanish Harlem during the early sixties. Taking his cue from the R&B and Jazz that was popular at that time, Pastrana became a master of rolling rhythms that shook up hips in dance floors throughout the world. One of the top artists of the boogaloo/Latin soul era, Joey Pastrana s music is regarded as one the most wonderful and exquisite examples of the world-famous New York Latin sound.

Aguaturbia’s second LP “Volumen 2” (1970) is an essential album to understand the construction of what we know today as Chilean rock.
The album is as raw and dynamic as their debut LP, featuring even heavier rhythms, distortion, and exceptional phased female vocals reminiscent of Jefferson Airplane. Comparisons with the Grateful Dead, Country Joe and the Fish and Led Zeppelin can be drawn. Splendid heavy psych and proto-stoner tracks make this album a pioneer recording in the history of South American rock.

DESCRIPTION
Aguaturbia’s debut album was originally released in 1970 and showcases one of South America's most significant psychedelic bands from the late 60s and early 70s. Their influence in their native Chile —and beyond— was groundbreaking.
In July that same year the band recorded this “Volumen 2” that delivers even heavier intensity than their debut LP. As expected, this album is raw and dynamic, featuring heavy rhythms, distortion, and exceptional phased female vocals reminiscent of Jefferson Airplane. Comparisons with the Grateful Dead, Country Joe and the Fish and Led Zeppelin can be drawn. Splendid heavy psych and proto-stoner tracks make this album a pioneer recording in the history of South American rock.
The LP showcases breathtaking moments, like the psych-blues ‘Heartbreaker’ or ‘I Wonder Who’ where guitarist Carlos Corales shines. When he played solos at the gigs, the effect on the audience was silence and euphoria at the same time. In fact, Carlos Corales (guitar) and Willy Cavada (drums) were both professional musicians who had made a previous career in rock and roll bands. Other outstanding songs are ‘Blues On The Westside’, ‘Waterfall’ and the magnificent ‘Well All Right’.
Controversy accompanies the release of the album once again. In this case the cover artwork, a tribute to Salvador Dalí, scandalizes the most conservative sector of Chilean society.
"Volumen 2" is an essential album to understand the construction of what we know today as Chilean rock.

DESCRIPTION
Marcos Valle is one of the few artists you cannot miss if you have the slightest interest in Brazilian music. Whether your taste is focused on bossa jazz, samba, psych folk or soul, Valle has surely recorded a great album for you. By the late 60s he had already put out enough quality records to secure a place within the top Brazilian songwriters of all time, but his career luckily did not stop there and he continued releasing amazing music over the following decades until this day.
By the dawn of the 1970s, the multi-talented Valle was entering a new era, ready to test the government censors (Brazil was under strict military rule since a coup d’état in 1964) and express a socially aware stance and a playful hodge-podge of musical styles including samba, bossa nova, baião (a rhythmic beat from the rural northeast of Brazil), black American music, and rock.
“Marcos Valle” was originally released in 1970 and features a dynamic musical backing from some of Brazil’s most gifted players. Hip-hop fans may even recognize the opening horn blasts of ‘Ele E Ela,’ sampled to great effect on Jay-Z’s “Thank You.”
It includes some of his most popular songs like ‘Freio Aerodinamico’ and ‘Os Grilos’, swinging between sophistication and groove…

“Gusano mecánico” has become a coveted collector’s item, highly valued by music lovers worldwide. It has been included in 5001 Record Collector Dreams by Hans Pokora, receiving the highest rarity rating and hailed as a musical masterpiece.
It was released in 1974 by the legendary Bolivian rock band Climax and was a big leap from their early recordings, where they paid tribute to their musical heroes. It became a landmark of prog rock in Bolivia and one of the few conceptual albums produced in the country.
“Gusano mecánico” explores themes such as the loss of personal essence and the vindication of indigenous peoples.

DESCRIPTION
On October 7, 1974, the now-historic “Gusano mecánico” was released — the only full-length album by the legendary Bolivian rock band Climax. Founded in 1968 from the remnants of the disbanded Los Black Byrds and the unrealized project The Turtles, Climax was formed by guitarist José “Pepe” Eguino and bassist Javier Saldías, who developed a strong bond with drummer Álvaro Córdova, cemented by their shared passion for rock. Together, they embarked on a journey of self-discovery, spending several months in the United States during a crucial period straddling the end of the Summer of Love and the lead-up to Woodstock.
This period, perhaps the most significant of the 1960s countercultural movement, saw an explosion of artistic expression driven by dissatisfaction with the society that the youth had inherited from their parents. Within this context, the influence of iconic bands such as The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, Blue Cheer, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer played a pivotal role in their decision to return to Bolivia and form the country's first ‘power trio’. Their first EPs paid tribute to their musical heroes.
They quite literally brought psychedelic and prog rock to Bolivia by carrying new, experimental vinyl records in their luggage, at a time when rock music (and music in general) had very limited exposure due to the scarcity of media resources. Their musical project reflected their influences and laid down the first traces of what would later be called heavy rock, a genre that never achieved widespread popularity in Bolivia.
“Gusano mecánico” was a big leap from their previous recordings. Climax embarked on a prog rock journey, exploring themes such as the loss of personal essence and the vindication of indigenous peoples. Their rebellious discourse opposed the mechanization of humankind brought about by past decades of industrial exploitation in which they resist being absorbed by the system. It became a landmark of prog rock in Bolivia and one of the few conceptual albums produced in the country.
Over time, Climax’s music has gained cult status among prog rock fans. Their album became a coveted collector’s item, highly valued by music lovers worldwide. It was even included in 5001 Record Collector Dreams by Hans Pokora, receiving the highest rarity rating and hailed as a musical masterpiece. Only two South American albums received this distinction.

“Lyrically, RJ Payne explodes out of the lineage of great spitters like DMX, Big Pun, Kool G Rap, Big L, Canibus ...” - AllHipHop

DESCRIPTION
Pure, unfiltered, and unrelenting—A Different Kind of Payne is a masterclass in lyrical proficiency, delivered with reckless abandonment by RJ Payne and fueled by the cinematic, hard-hitting production of Long Island’s own BP Infinite. This is a no- frills, no-features, all-bars affair, where Payne goes scorched earth over BP’s menacing soundscapes, proving once again why he’s one of the most feared lyricists in the game.
Following the success of his star-studded producer album Kill or Be Killed—which boasts features from Redman, Skyzoo, Cory Gunz, Tragedy Khadafi, Nature, E L U C I D, and Payne himself—BP Infinite flips the script with an entirely singular vision. Here, he crafts a sonic battlefield tailor-made for RJ’s relentless delivery, weaving gritty, soulful samples, hard-hitting percussion, and cinematic arrangements into an immersive listening experience.
For RJ Payne, A Different Kind of Payne comes on the heels of an unstoppable run, stacking bodies on projects like Hellraiser, GUTTR (alongside Ras Kass & Havoc), They Live (produced by Bucky Luger), and most recently 3 PIECE, crafted by the legendary Erick Sermon. With each release, Payne has continued to raise the stakes, and this project only solidifies his status as a top-tier bar assassin.
Released in partnership between Beautiful Payment Entertainment and Common Virtue Records, A Different Kind of Payne is raw, unapologetic hip-hop at its finest—a brutal display of elite lyricism and masterful production, leaving no room for mercy.

DESCRIPTION
“In my category, I’m the one and only,” proclaimed Oakland legend Too $hort on his 1990 single “Short But Funky.” Few disagreed then, and even fewer would do so decades later. First appearing in the mid-1980s, slinging homemade tapes out of his car trunk, the man born Todd Shaw has always stayed true to himself. Although he is known more for the dirty side of his rap game, on “Short But Funky,” he also reminds listeners of an important fact: “There’s a serious side to everything I say.” Short Dog’s In The House, was $hort’s sixth studio album, and his second for the Jive label. By the time it hit, he was a West Coast legend, but his rep was growing Eastwards, as the rest of the country started opening its ears to new sounds. Peaking at #20 on the national Billboard 200 chart, the album was exactly what his dedicated fans expected funky, 70s drenched beats made for cars on the boulevard, and no nonsense lyrics that made more sense and dropped more knowledge than he was ever given credit for. For examples of his conscious side, look no further than the P-Funk fueled “It’s Your Life” or the album’s lead single, “The Ghetto.” The album’s second single “Short But Funky” landed somewhere in the middle of $hort and Todd Shaw, talking about where he was at as the new decade broke, and making it clear that he wasn’t going anywhere. His mortality was mainly on his mind after rumors had surfaced the year before that he had died in a crack house. He speaks directly to this crazy episode on “Dead Or Alive.” And although it’s mostly a solo affair, he brings in some heavy artillery and a lot of not for the kids profanity on “Ain’t Nothin’ But A Word To Me,” featuring none other than Ice Cube In between, $hort distributed plenty of tales and charisma for fans to eat up, continuing to build his legendary status as one of the rap trailblazers of the era.

When CRIMEAPPLE and Big Ghost Ltd first linked up on their "Aguardiente" collaboration in 2016, the two came to shake the game up. The iconic Antioqueño bottle left a mark in underground hip-hop that still stands strong to this day, and to follow up they cooked up the deadliest material to do that once again with "Bazuko".
Named after the deadliest and most addictive street drug in Colombia, basuco, the album embodies the raw, uncut and unfiltered essence of their artistic process, much like the gritty remnants of cocaine paste.
CRIMEAPPLE's razor-sharp lyricism cuts through Big Ghost Ltd's masterful, hard-hitting beats, creating a visceral, addictive and immersive soundscape. With "Bazuko," the two aren't just following up on "Aguardiente"; they're raising the stakes, delivering a project that is as potent and unforgettable as its namesake.

Inspired by the Dr Dre classic, The Chronic, the concept for this release was to bridge gaps between generations, as well as coasts, while showing love to the album that introduced the world to Death Row Records. The Chronic is a timeless masterpiece that shifted not only the trajectory of Hip Hop culture at the tail end of 1992, but the entire scope of the music industry from that point on. It’s telling when an album that was recorded 3 decades ago can still provide a template for art created today, which is precisely what Big Ghost Ltd has done here. 38 Spesh & Conway are reputed spitters, who have displayed ease with rhyming over everything from dusty loops to contemporary trap beats. The fact that they can sound this naturally compelling over vintage G-funk beats is a testament to their undeniable talents.

DESCRIPTION
The third LP in Now Again's Memphis Rap series is Gotta Get My Pimp On. Lo-fi pimp player raps recorded on a four-track cassette in Shawty Pimp's bedroom in 1994.
This is part of Now Again Records multiple LP series on the History of Memphis Rap, which attempts to capture Memphis and its underground rap scene as it began to produce some of the most distinctive music of the ’90s.
This was a unique hip-hop strain – visceral and often vicious. It was a local, low-fi, cassette-tape based movement – yet it went on to change the course of rap music.
These albums have never been pressed on vinyl – until now. From Skinny Pimp and Carmike to Gangsta Blac and Shawty Pimp, these albums have been relegated to the proverbial bins of history and bootlegged, with unofficial copies still fetching top dollar on the secondary market. These albums were all licensed directly from their original creators, and come on limited edition colored vinyl with artist-approved imagery for their first LP iterations.

DESCRIPTION
That Mexican OT is making sure Texas has a seat secured at the rap table. The Tejano rapper recently burst onto the scene with exuberant, confidence-filled bars and the truck-rattling sensibilities of prime southern rap, mixed with the experimentation of DJ Screw’s signature sludgy chopped-n-screwed sound. OT rose to fame off the strength of his legendary linkup with Houston royalty Paul Wall on “Johnny Dang”, which has amassed over 300 million streams to date.
He parlayed that success into his breakout project Lonestar Luchador, which has been heralded by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, HipHopDX, The Houston Chronicle, and more. Embodying the resilience and fire of Texas pride, the album encapsulates the energy of an artist who delivers on every bar and every beat, crafting knockout anthems that resonate far beyond borders. Now, Lonestar Luchador is available on vinyl featuring a mini poster insert,
with artwork by Jesse California.

DESCRIPTION
When we last heard from Bay Area producer DEAD PERRY, he was riding high on the critical success of "The Art Of Reanimation" album. That album was a re-imagining of legendary Hieroglyphics crew emcee Casual's work from his "Big Head Science" album.
However on the forthcoming "Acoustic Shadows" album, as the title implies things get a bit dark. As he relays "when I made (The Art Of Reanimation) with Cas, I wanted to cater to the specific sound that Hieroglyphics has, but put my spin on it without making it too dark (though there are a couple of dark gems sprinkled throughout). I knew that my next album was going to be a solo LP and I wanted it to be something special. Dark and grimy has always been my style of beat making so I wanted to showcase that with this record."
However, the title also has a double meaning to the producer. "The term Acoustic Shadows comes from a Civil War phenomenon that refers to a sonic blind spot. Due to geographical obstructions disrupting sound waves you could think you are a great distance from the battlefield while you could already be in it. It also refers to my style keeping to the shadows and out of the limelight, when I only appear in photos wearing a mask, it's not because I’m on that post MF Doom craze, it's because I came from graffiti and graffiti artists let their art be their only face to the public."
That style is showcased throughout the forthcoming album, including his choice of collaborators include Casual, Daniel Son, Estee Nack, Al Divino, Raz Fresco, Ill Bill, Goretex, Hus Kingpin, Crimeapple, Planet Asia, Da Flyy Hooligan, Izrell, P-Dirt, J-Spliff and cuts from DJ Eclipse. Concepts also lent itself to the grime including the John Carpenter-esque synth laden "Call Me Snake" track, which inadvertently inspired the emcees. As DEAD PERRY relates "I give the beats a place-holder title until the track is done so this one was 'Die Kurt Russ.' P-Dirt chose to create the concept off the beat title. Crafting that song was a fun experience." It also has a full circle moment as DEAD PERRY and Casual expand their "White Crown" single from their previous project on this release enlisting Planet Asia to drop an additional Afro-Centric verse.

Fanon brings these tracks to life with a unique production approach, taking it back to basics with soul heavy soundscapes Blu describes as “straight loops, no drum programming or layers, just really soulful loops.” With appearances by Kota The Friend, Asher Roth, R.A.P. Ferreira, Mickey Factz, Homeboy Sandman, Chester Watson, Fashawn, and more, Forty is a timless experience from an artist who remains a vital presence in any decade of life.

DESCRIPTION
This album originally was planned for release in 2022—that’s when Defcee and Parallel Thought first connected, built on a mutual respect for each other’s discographies. Defcee was fresh off the success of his Backwoodz debut, Trapdoor (produced by Messiah Musik), while Parallel Thought had just released The Wild End, their collaborative album with another Chicago legend, Tree. An initial beat pack was sent, quickly followed by a demo of songs recorded by Defcee. The foundation was there, but then—silence. Long story short…life happened. Fast forward to July 2024, and Defcee spent a week in Freehold, recording the entirety of Other Blues at Parallel Thought’s studio. Other Blues lays bare small joys, big hurts, and both swagger and insecurity in equal measure, serving as a testament to honesty, redemption, and a refocusing on life’s most important priorities. Deeply personal and introspective, the album showcases Defcee’s raw, honest lyricism over Parallel Thought’s smoked-out, heavy, hazy jazz soundscapes. The project also features guest verses from extended family—New Jersey’s feature king, Fatboi Sharif, and fellow Chicagoan, Tree. Despite balancing day jobs, kids, and family, Defcee & Parallel Thought prove that music can still sound like it comes first.

DESCRIPTION
In 1976, legendary musician and composer Roy Ayers released one of the most iconic albums of his career: "Everybody Loves the Sunshine." This album not only solidified Ayers as a key figure in the world of jazz-funk but also marked a milestone in soul music and contemporary jazz. It features a sophisticated blend of irresistible grooves, smooth melodies, and a unique sound that has endured over the years, becoming a reference for multiple generations of musicians and listeners.
By the mid-70s, Ayers had already established his reputation with his band, Roy Ayers Ubiquity, and his distinctive use of the vibraphone, which became his personal trademark. However, with this album, Ayers ventured into a smoother, more accessible sound, partly in response to the rise of disco music and the growing interest in more experimental sounds within the music scene. Throughout its ten tracks, Ayers managed to create a sonic atmosphere that evoked both the warmth of summer and the sophistication of jazz from that era, set against a backdrop of modern soul.
The production was carried out by Ayers himself, along with his producer and friend, David R. Williams, and features the wonderful sound of Phillip Woo's Fender Rhodes and the powerful energy of the rest of the band, achieving an unmistakable authenticity and freshness. Some of its most well-known songs include the title track, ‘Everybody Loves the Sunshine,’ ‘The Golden Rod,’ and ‘The Third Eye,’ which quickly became classics of jazz-funk and soul.
This album is crucial in Roy Ayers' career, as it demonstrates his ability to remain relevant and creative in an ever-changing music industry. Over the years, "Everybody Loves the Sunshine" has become a cult album, frequently featured in DJ sets by artists like Gilles Peterson, Theo Parrish, and Lefto. Summertime soul classic!

DESCRIPTION
"Electròccid àccid alquimístic xoc" marks a shift in Pau Riba’s sound—now electrified and fully embracing rock under the influence of artists like Lou Reed—opening a new chapter as he distances himself from his immediate past. The magical "Dioptria" had been left behind.
The album was recorded in the winter of 1975 with the help of the same group of musicians who had accompanied him a few months earlier at a concert at Zeleste to debut new songs: a mix of Valencian musicians from bands like Paranoia Dea and guitarist Eduardo Bort’s group.
Once again, Riba left everyone bewildered with a work that, on its own, gave early substance to what would eventually be known as roc català, of which Riba may well have been its most authentic representative.
There are nods to Lou Reed, Ray Davies, and Kevin Ayers, but the core of "Electròccid…" is defined by Riba’s own authorship. With lyrics that veer from poetic to absurdly ironic, Riba explores themes like the moon, the stars, death, love, women, the devil, and the bourgeoisie—fueling the originality that made him such a unique artist. It's striking how naturally and effortlessly Riba incorporated the Catalan language into the rock idiom—and vice versa.

DESCRIPTION
Indianapolis' legendary Rhythm Machine is one of the rare funk bands that transitioned between eras of funk's history seamlessly, creating awesome funk sides for a host of independent labels between the years of 1968 and 1976. Born out of cult Indy funk band The Highlighters' ashes, the Rhythm Machine was founded in the early '70s by bass player James Boone and guitarist James Brantley.
Their self-titled and only LP, originally released in 1976, is a wild, super-groovy ride with tight band energy and a bunch of unexpected twists that keep things interesting from start to finish. At first, you might catch some Earth, Wind & Fire vibes—deep basslines, funky beats, and killer horn sections—but dig a little deeper and you’ll find something a little looser, a little cooler. There’s a smooth, jazzy undercurrent running through a lot of these tracks that gives the whole thing a fresh, off-the-beaten-path feel.
Some songs drift into a dreamy, almost spacey zone—think cosmic funk with a romantic twist. The production is silky, almost liquid-like, letting the guitars shimmer and the keys float. And when the soprano sax kicks in? Pure magic. It adds just the right bite to take the tracks up a notch.
Perfect for late-night grooves, chill sessions, or anyone hunting for that hidden gem funk record with serious soul.

This elusive and lesser-known collector’s gem by Óscar Agudello y el Combo Moderno called “Pa’ mi muñeca” is an album devoted to recreating the strength of a musical genre that’s been the soundtrack of Colombian life for decades and represents a milestone on the route cumbia had taken by 1966, when it was originally released on Discos Fuentes. It’s exactly the kind of music that lights up a tambó or a fandango circle on carnival night.

DESCRIPTION
In 1966, Óscar Agudelo recorded this elusive and lesser-known collector’s gem called “Pa’ mi muñeca” for Discos Fuentes. It is a rarity where the artist took an unexpected musical turn and performed several porros, paseaitos, gaitas, and cumbias, evoking the swaying motion and rolling waves of Colombia’s Caribbean sound.
It resonates with the echoes of a romantic minstrel laced with an unexpected richness of nuance, a hallmark of the cumbia sound. It’s exactly the kind of music that lights up a tambó or a fandango circle on carnival night. A dozen tracks, none of them new, but suffused with a consciousness that can be understood within the context of their time and with the personality of the artist bold enough to bring them to life.
‘Madre cumbia’ opens the album with a festive, nostalgic mood, infused with the simple beauty and the electrifying beat of the tropics that immediately makes you want to get up and dance. It’s a fantastic example of how to perform a song with passion and make the listener fall instantly in love with an album. ‘Pa’ mi muñeca’, the title track, is a fast-paced paseaito that explores new paths that took a shortcut to the dance halls. A showstopper on the dance floor. ‘Está como mango’ is a porro-cumbia that charms with a rich tapestry of compliments, the calling card of many old-school tropical songs. ‘Cumbia de recuerdo’, ‘Cumbia suave’, ‘Cumbia de Santa Marta’, are back-to-back cumbias.
This is an album devoted to recreating the strength of a musical genre that’s been the soundtrack of Colombian life for decades. It’s a record dedicated to capturing good times, filled with simple dreams, steeped in joyful energy, and shining with the uninhibited flair, or better said, the quality of the sixties.
This album represents a milestone on the route cumbia had taken, both for Discos Fuentes and maestro Agudelo.

DESCRIPTION
LA-based producer Real Bad Man and Detroit artist ZelooperZ release their joint album Dear Psilocybin via the producer’s own Real Bad Man Records. The album marks the duo’s first collaboration, culminating in a full-length project that also features guest appearances from Boldy James, MAVI and a verse from The Alchemist. On Dear Psilocybin, ZelooperZ invokes unconventional production out of Real Bad Man to match his own unpredictable and outlandish delivery, working outside of traditional song structures and existing in a lane of his own. The Detroit multihyphenate, who is an integral part of Danny Brown’s Bruiser Brigadecollective and also an accomplished visual artist, painted the album’s corresponding cover artwork as well.
“I definitely haven’t made anything like this before, it’s a very subtle version of my music as far as tone, ” ZelooperZ explained in a conversation with Real Bad Man for his RBM Radio show. He elaborates on the off-kilter approach to the way he recorded to say, “the album feels like a movie soundtrack for a film about a man losing his mind and getting spurts of memories along the way. ”
Speaking about how the project differs from the rest of his collaborative catalog, RBM says, “It’s trippy and it’s a little different – but the main goal was for it to be authentic to Z and his process. ” That dedication to authenticity rings true across his catalog, drawing back to the foundations of his beginnings as a producer, learning the fundamentals of sampling, experimenting with chords and learning to piece songs together by ear. RBM builds a cohesive production arc around each artist he works with, catered to their strengths as artists, working with a variety of lyrical stylists including Memphis rapper Lukah, Pink Siifu, Blu, Kool Keith, Elcamino & more.
Real Bad Man is the production moniker of visual artist and designer Adam Jay Weissman. A designer and visual artist first, he made his foray into music through his On High Alert series of imaginative, multi-generational compilations, which have featured the likes of Roc Marciano, ROME STREETZ, Pink Siifu, Maxo and more. In the years since, he’s partnered with some of hip- hop’s most talented and adventurous artists on full-length projects, refining and shaping the trajectory of some of rap’s most exciting independent artists.

Boston area emcee Big Dese and producer Confidence combine forces for “Kool Moe Dese”. The eight-track long project will drop via Below System Records digitally on May 16th as well as in a limited vinyl edition of 100 yellow copies and 200 black.
Propelled by singles “Strike Back” and “Melt” featuring Oak Lonetree listeners get an example of the duo’s punchline heavy bars and sample-based soundscapes. Besides Oak Lonetree other guests on the album are Just Pete and King Author.
Big Dese, over two decades deep in the game makes a masterclass of balancing lyrical disrespect and self-deprecation. Fellow Massachusetts neighbor and producer Confidence has laced tracks and projects for such notables as The Legion, Neek The Exotic, Purpose (Tragic Allies), Rashad and Edo G. He specializes in creating an ill array of head-nodders crafted from deep, dusty crates of funk, soul, disco and other vinyl sources.
The emcee and producer initially met over two decades ago. Speaking on the genesis of “Kool Moe Dese” Confidence recalled “I was working on a beat recently and found some old vocals from Dese that were never used. I put the vocals over the beat and sent them over to him. He was feeling it and decided to write new lyrics for it and we just started building from there.” Regarding the album title Dese added “I always like to do a play on words on my name for my album titles. This one had such a classic Hip Hop feel to it I decided to reference a classic Hip Hop figure.”

Their history of soul music excellence is enough to certify them with legend status, shaping the sound of acts like Soul Generation, Rhyze, Florence Ballard, The Escorts, Linda Jones, The Moments, The O'Jays, and The Whatnauts to name a few.

Artists such as Snoop Dogg, RZA, Tribe Called Quest, Madlib, Chance The Rapper, Childish Gambino, and Jack Harlow owe some of their biggest hits to a sound crafted by Kerr and Kyser. In 2022 they even came together as a production team for The Jack Moves’ sophomore album Cruiserweight. The Soul of New Jersey series strives to cement New Jersey’s unique quality of soul music into the global consciousness. It’s been there since the beginning and it’s not going away any time soon.

DESCRIPTION
A deeply personal journey of an aspiring artist (Solene) navigating the harsh realities of Hollywood. An album that explores the emotional toll of being a hopeless romantic in a city full of predators and narcissists. A raw look at survival — and the trauma that follows. A narrative arc that takes the listener from LA to Las Vegas, only to find the same demons follow: addiction, vices, self-destruction, and the allure of illusion but ultimately setting on a journey of healing: picking oneself up, learning from pain, and choosing hope again and again. A love letter to Jazz, honoring Solene’s roots, with Hip Hop providing the fire and framework, produced by J. Rawls, to create something new: a genre-bending sound that’s soulful, futuristic, and fearless. Midnight Angel is not just an album — it’s a testimony of recovery, and of rebellion.

The original Madlib instrumentals to Georgia Anne Muldrow’s critically acclaimed album; “Seeds” which was released in 2012 on SomeOthaShip Connect. Heralded as one of her most captivating and immediate front-to-back statements of purpose, a deeply spiritual collection of songs. It was the first time in her career where she handed over all production duties to someone other than herself, that someone being the legendary Madlib. The beats on “Seeds” are naturally heavy, funky, soulful, abrupt yet hypnotic. All the characteristics of Madlib’s signature sound we know and love. On the B Side of the vinyl is a collection of Georgia Anne Muldrow instrumentals from across 3 Dudley Perkins albums, “Young Spirit”, “Self Study”, and “Holy Smokes.” Beats with synths reminiscent of J Dilla’s electronic era but with enough G-Funk influence to melt your Raiders hat. Bass lines that could get The Click back together. Georgia Anne Muldrow is a master of her craft on the beats and the microphone. This record is a testament to that. Rediscover “Seeds”, the magical powers of Madlib, and why beat tapes will never go out of style.

DESCRIPTION
Soli Deo Gloria, Latin for “Glory to God Alone,” is the new 10-track collaborative album from NYC wordsmith Homeboy Sandman and Sonnyjim, UK's double threat who sets aside his rapping prowess to focus entirely on production. The title isn’t just a nod to the sacred; it’s a declaration of purpose. This is hip-hop without compromise — razor-sharp lyricism laid bare over smoky, sample-rich grooves. Recorded with raw intensity and zero filler, Soli Deo Gloria brings together two of rap’s most distinctive voices. Sonnyjim crafts a cinematic soundscape steeped in jazz, soul, and vintage grit while Homeboy Sandman delivers verses packed with honesty, humor, and hard-earned wisdom. Each track feels like a moment carved from marble — meditative, unflinching, and timeless. It’s minimalist and masterful — no guests, no gimmicks, just two artists operating at their highest level. More than a collection of songs, Soli Deo Gloria plays like a reflection on purpose, presence, and personal freedom. “Whatever happens is supposed to happen. So relax. Read. Never give up. Lead with love. Be yourself and love yourself,” Homeboy Sandman concludes.

DESCRIPTION
Undeniably one of today’s most essential artists, the enigmatic polymath Jean Dawson has released his highly anticipated new album, Glimmer Of God, and it’s Jean like we’ve never seen or heard him before. The project houses a collection of songs that reveal a new chapter for Jean: 15 breathtaking tracks with incredible depth and a stunning theatrical approach that envelop a powerful message of hope and chronicle his personal journey of growth. The songs feature his vocal prowess front and center, soaring across intricate production and instrumentation and boundless sonic range that honors the sounds that shaped Jean. The project captures Jean’s deep admiration for his mother, whose profound impact remains at the core of his being and his art, while simultaneously celebrating the divine feminine that exists in all of us and can prove healing and liberating.
Jean’s most honest and deeply riveting work to date, Glimmer Of God, sees the young artist make an immeasurable mark on the larger pop arena, firmly continuing his reign as one of music’s foremost visionaries today. Sonically, the album pulls inspiration from the rich musical world that was nourished by Jean’s mother as a young child growing up between the US and Mexico. Here Jean flourishes in the impact of great artists that shaped him, such as Prince, Stevie Wonder, Modest Mouse, Zapp & Roger, and the other sounds from the 80s that his mother loved across pop, dance, rock, R&B, and more. Staying true to that era that nurtured some of music’s greatest icons that was founded on live instrumentation, the album features complete live instrumentation seen through the stunning sonic arrangements. The project was largely produced and composed by Jean and his team of close collaborators that includes Hoskins (Khalid, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Don Toliver, Wiz Khalifa), Vic Wainstein (Tyler, The Creator, Frank Ocean, Mac Miller, Odd Future), Biako (Masego, Fousheé, Fana Hues, Baby Rose), and Johnny May (Sam Short, Che Lingo).

DESCRIPTION
When Marshall Chess decided to combine a rock group with some of the best voices he could get his hands on he invented a stream of psychedelic rock that was quite different from the one that emerged in Detroit with the help of George Clinton and Norman Whitfield.
Partly this was Marshall’s hippy sensibility, but it was one that fused perfectly with vocalist Minnie Riperton’s own word-view and the musical genius – “no other word for it”: Marshall Chess − of Charles Stepney.
Working across a cleverly arranged mix of originals and cover versions, the recordings featured some of the finest musicians that you could find in Chicago including drummer Morris Jennings, bass players Louis Satterfield and Phil Upchurch, and revolutionary guitarist Pete Cosey, who would later join Miles Davis’ group. Cosey’s guitar playing on their fourth album “Songs”, released in 1969, is incendiary and unparalleled. The vocals were arranged as a perfect choir with a series of leads most notably Minnie, Sidney Barnes and Mitch Aliota.
True success − rather than doing well enough − eluded them, with some bad decisions being made and bad luck also dogging them. When Chess left the company and Barnes the group it looked as if the writing was on the wall for Rotary Connection, but Charles Stepney wanted one more go. The New Rotary Connection came together with a refreshed vocal line up featuring Minnie, Kitty Haywood and Shirley Wahls and songs by Stepney, Minnie’s husband Richard Rudolph and Terry Callier.
“Hey Love” was the album that appeared and it is a gem, that features the astounding ‘I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun’ - later a UK hit in 1997 for Nuyorican Soul, ‘Love Has Fallen On Me’ - later recorded as a tribute to Stepney by Chaka Khan, the beautiful title track and Callier’s stunning ’Song For Everyman’. However the album failed to sell and there was no more records.
As time passed the late 60s and early 70ws productions of Charles Stepney became some of the best loved and most influential of the ear, influencing UK groups such as 4 Hero, Radiohead and more recently Jessie Ware, and “Hey, Love” has been considered one of the peaks of his work.

DESCRIPTION
As part of Ace 50 BGP has hooked up with our old friends at Concord Music to reissue one of the most important albums in our story. In 1987 as the dance jazz scene morphed into acid jazz Billy Hawks ‘Oh Baby (I Believe I’m Losing You)’ was filling the dance floors where either Gilles Peterson or Baz Fe Jazz were playing.
The Prestige Records album that featured the track ‘Heavy Soul!’ was impossible to find, and frustrated DJs were desperately trying to find a copy. BGP - the Ace label that the two DJs helmed - reissued the album and put the in-demand track onto a 12 inch single. With supply sufficient it became a club smash, crossing over to become a mod classic and one of the most important cuts from our scene.
In the ensuing years the tracks status has remained undimmed and the album has never turned up in significant numbers, and yet it has never been reissued since. With an attention to detail that has always been the Ace way, we have carefully mastered the record to be as close to the sound of the original Van Gelder mastering of 1967, and created and accurate representation of the album and label cover art.
Hawks never lived to be rediscovered, but through our musical detective work we tracked down his brother and found out as much of his story as possible, and also unearthed a couple of pictures. The Virginian born organist with the amazing voice was a fixture on the North Eastern lounge bar circuit, which was the entertainment backbone off Black American music at the time, and his full story is told on the illustrated inner sleeve that comes with this release.

DESCRIPTION
The iconic D&D Studios and Fat Beats Distribution proudly announce the release of "Up In D&D Volume 1", a powerful vinyl compilation celebrating the golden era of boom bap hip-hop. This project marks a historic reunion between two cultural institutions that helped shape the sound of 90s East Coast rap. Up In D&D delivers a curated collection of legendary tracks and previously unreleased gems from the vaults of D&D Studios, home to some of the most influential records in hip-hop history. Known as the creative sanctuary for artists like DJ Premier, Jay-Z, Nas, KRS-One, and many more, D&D Studios was the beating heart of authentic New York hip-hop. Co-founded by Doug Grama and David Lotwin, D&D Studios continues to honor its legacy while embracing the future. This latest release with Fat Beats brings back the gritty, analog sound of the era—with both classic tracks and newly discovered recordings pressed to wax for the first time. This release marks the first in an ongoing series, with many more vinyl drops from the legendary D&D catalog.
