Breakin' My Heart (Jim Sharp edit) (4:14)
Check Minnie's Love (Naughty NMX & Runex Brexit mix) (3:55)
Review: Reissue of a classic alert! On 'Breakin' My Heart,' the wonderful Jim Sharp seamlessly blends A Tribe Called Quest's summery vibes with the original instrumentation sampled by J Dilla. Bebel Gilberto's iconic vocals glide over boom-bap drums and create an undeniably catchy groove. On the flip side, 'Check Minnie's Love,' Naughty NMX and Runex deliver once again by layering horns, heavy beats, deep bass, and smooth vocals into a gem with a nostalgic 90s feel. Minnie's silky vocals transform it into a dancefloor banger, capturing the essence of '92 without missing a beat.

OPP (4:26)
Uptown Anthem (2:41)
Review: 'O.P.P.' by Naughty By Nature is an iconic hip-hop song that not only achieved commercial success, reaching the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning platinum status, but broke barriers and became a cultural phenomenon in the 1990s. The song's success helped Naughty By Nature establish themselves as a major force in hip-hop and contributed to their longevity in the industry. 'O.P.P.' continues to be celebrated and remembered, showing the group's ability to blend rough subject matter with catchy pop hooks, making it a timeless classic in the genre. The Hip-Hop movement was arguably the most important cultural movement in the 80s and 90s. Here you have one of its most important soundtracks.

Put It On The Line (4:03)
I Shot Ya (4:03)
Review: Jim Sharp's Put It On The Line from Revamp records delivers two distinct takes on this compelling track, blending hip-hop and r&b influences with flair. Side-1 presents 'Put It On The Line,' a track rich in 70s soul with an urban edge. Its smooth piano lines and elegant strings are complemented by a robust beat, creating a classy track. Side-2 features 'I Shot Ya,' which reimagines the A-side's beat with a gritty hip hop twist. Channeling East Coast 90s vibes reminiscent of Craig Mack, this version injects the track with a fresh, rhythmic energy that contrasts beautifully with the soulful original.

Review: LL Cool J returns with The Force, his first album in 11 years. This new project, his 14th studio record, marks a significant evolution in his career. The album features production by Q-Tip and boasts collaborations with Eminem, Saweetie, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg and Fat Joe, among others. LL Cool J describes The Force as a fresh start, saying he relearned how to rap and aimed to strip away excess to focus on meaningful content. With tracks like 'Murdergram Deux' and 'Proclivities,' the album delves into themes of self-motivation and bold expression. Notably, 'Huey in the Chair' and 'Basquiat Energy' celebrate icons of personal conviction. The Force stands as a testament to LL Cool J's enduring relevance and innovative spirit in hip-hop.

Chad Jackson - "Jazz Be Good To Me" (4:11)
Hallmighty - "What Is Stormy Love" (3:04)
Review: Chad Jackson and Hallmighty deliver a fresh take on classic sounds with Jazz Be Good To Me on Battle Weapons France. This hip hop/R&B release features two creative tracks. Side-1 showcases Chad Jackson's 'Jazz Be Good To Me,' a lively hip hop groove that echoes the late 80s and 90s, when dance music was a key component of the genre. Jackson updates the early 80s classic by the S O S Band with a vibrant, contemporary twist, making it a perfect fusion of old and new. On Side-2, Hallmighty presents 'What Is Stormy Love,' a masterful mash-up of Haddaway and Diana Ross & The Supremes. This track is produced so seamlessly that it feels like an original song from the late 60s, blending vintage soul with modern production techniques.

Sometimes Bootyful (4:02)
Sugar Face (2:52)
Review: Suckaside, a creative artist with a deft touch in beat composition, sampling, and mashups, delivers a dynamic offering with Toxic Funk Vol 15. 'Sometimes Bootyful' is a piano-laden funk jam driven by a tight breakbeat that's both hip and infectious. The track seamlessly blends elements of house into its groove, making it accessible to pop fans while staying true to its funky roots. The addition of rap verses adds an extra layer of appeal, making this track a standout. Bringing in 90s funky rhythm vibes, 'Sugar Face' on the B-side cleverly incorporates hooks from D'Angelo's 'Brown Sugar.' This track is a 7" gem for funk and R&B lovers, combining nostalgic grooves with a modern twist.

Review: Featured on this new white 7" are three separate and equally essential "redrums" from the soundtrack of Belly. They are great works from DJ A L starting with the slow motion and seductive claps and beats of 'Back 2 Life (Impreach edit with intro)' then cruising into the 'Back 2 Life' (Re-Drum-Apella) with more knowing beats and prominent snares, then last of all is 'Devilz Pie' (Re-Drum-Apella) which is lo-fi and lovably loved up thanks to the D'Angelo vocal up top.

Review: Hip-hop pioneer, influential DJ, and super producer whose work had a lasting impact on the boom-bap scene, Marley Marl is a true legend of the game. The Dope Jams label has dug into archives here to serve up two of his stone-cold classics on one 45 rpm. First up he collaborates with Craig G on 'Droppin Science' which is a low sling number with a funky bassline riff, scratches, soulful vocal hooks and a hooky beat. On the flip, he works with The Juice Crew on 'The Symphony' which has a more edgy rap over piano stabs and gentle breaks. These two timeless joints to heat up any party.

Review: A very useful, sample-heavy pair of joints here on the newly mined Vinyl Stream Champs label out of the US. They combine a welsh of funk, soul, hip hop and r&b vibes on one 7" that has been aptly named 'Bitch Better Have.' The title track starts with some iconic funky riffs, female vocal seduction up top and mid-temp beats to get things going. On the flip, Tyla's recent smash hit 'Water' gets reworked with some classic funk beats and samples to make for a fine ass-wiggler.

Rock is best known for his instinctive and distinctive beat making style and for plenty of seminal tunes which showcase that, while Common is the next level lyricist, rapper and iconic freestyler who paints vivid pictures with his words. The Auditorium Vol 1 is a remarkable coming together of the two which arrives on limited edition coloured vinyl across four sides of wax. The groundbreaking collab blends all their considerable skills into a record that draws on the golden era but also shows a new future for the genre. It's richly layered and hugely rewarding, as you would expect.

A Chorus Line (part 1) (3:32)
A Chorus Line (part 2) (3:19)
Review: The Ultramagnetic MCs, a pioneering hip-hop group from the Bronx, NYC, are celebrated for their innovative sampling, complex rhymes, and surreal lyrical style. Founded by Kool Keith, the group also includes Ced Gee, TR Love and Moe Love, with Tim Dog joining unofficially in 1989. Their track 'A Chorus Line,' initially the B-side of a single, quickly became one of their standout hits, introducing Tim Dog to the scene, while the instrumental from 'A Chorus Line' was later reworked for Tim Dog's controversial debut single, 'F--- Compton,' produced by Ced Gee, which played a significant role in igniting the East Coast/West Coast rivalry of the 1990s. This 7" release features both parts 1 and 2 of 'A Chorus Line,' offering a glimpse into the early days of Ultramagnetic MCs and their influential role in hip-hop history, capturing the raw energy and groundbreaking creativity that defined their legacy.

Released on limited edition purple vinyl, this 7" captures the essence of early 90s rap, with a catchy beat and a memorable guitar riff that echoes the East Coast's golden era. Side-1 features 'Move It Or Lose It' (feat. Mathien), a smooth blend of funk and rhythm and blues, all wrapped up in a b-boy/fly girl flavour that feels effortlessly cool. The track's excellent rap flow and infectious melody make it an instant favourite. This physical edition brings the much-anticipated vinyl release, which has been in high demand since its digital drop late last year.

Review: The legendary collaboration between Akinyele and Kool G Rap, 'Break a Bitch Neck,' is one of rap's most famous cuts and not for musical reasons. It is a track which showcases a scorching beat and the incredible synergy between these two New York lyricists but is best known for being one of the most unapologetically sexist and outrageous rap songs ever. It's a hard-hitting and deep hip-hop joint with a super cool break and naughty bars. On the flip, you will find a remix but only the brave will play this one in today's socially conscious landscape.

Review: Long-time hip-hop heads will be familiar with this particular bit of beat-making history from back in 1998 when it dropped as part of PF Cuttin's 44 Magnum (Tape 44 Side A & B). It was his 44th mixtape back then and one of his most classics with this jam, Medina Green's 'Crosstown Beef', one of the standouts. It is lo-fi, perfectly undercooked, rides on a catchy bass riff with some slick bars and is a great and instant hit of nostalgia that has aged to perfection. An instrumental also appears on the flip.

Review: The second full-length solo record by British songstress Jorja Smith. Falling Or Flying was released in 2023, and heard a continued unpacking of the yearning, jazz-soul-r&b-house combo she'd laid down on prior releases like Be Right Back and Lost & Found. Smith herself stated that the lyrical content "touch[es] on breakups, relationships with my friends, relationships with old friends, relationships with myself," and marking a recent step into womanhood, "more sure of herself than ever before". This reimagined edition of the album, released a year later, hears several more live interpretations of the OG record's best songs, including 'Greatest Gift', 'Little Things' and 'Feelings'.

'Go Girlfriend' delivers an upbeat, danceable rhythm, while 'No Interruptions'' is a smooth tribute to a dance partner. The sultry ballads like 'Sex So Good' and 'My Slime,' both likely to resonate with his loyal fanbase. 'Sweet Lullaby' and 'Residuals' close the album on a high note, hinting at a more mature direction that Brown might possibly explore.

Review:  A hazy, intimate ambience conjures an underground club vibe, perfect for Pete's laid-back pivot towards introspective hip-hop on this cult classic reissue. The night offers glimpses of Pete's experimental phases: the mesmeric 'Cloudy' and jazz-tinged '2am'. However, newly unearthed material dominates, hinting at a dancefloor-friendly evolution since his Babbletron days. 'Lost (Blockhead Remix)' opens, reimagining the original as a raw house banger. Pete amplifies his pop sensibilities: 'Heart' drives a simple riff with a haunting Nina Simone sample, while 'Offline' recycles 80s synths into tear-stained hip-hop. Though some tracks sport a radio-friendly sheen, Pete's distinctive drawl permeates throughout. His shift towards accessibility suits his yearning songcraft, with melancholy no less affecting when paired with four-to-the-floor beats. This reissue isn't merely nostalgic; it's a reinvention for a new generation. Lost (Director's Cut) cements Cool Calm Pete's status as a hip-hop innovator, bridging his underground roots with a more polished sound that's primed for wider recognition.

Slum Village proved they're still relevant here as they head into new but familiar still familiar.

In Glorious Game, he merges soul-tinged, bottom-heavy beats with Black Thought's deeply personal lyrics and, inspired by hip-hop's sample-based production, crafts new compositions that sample and reinterpret his own work to create dynamic, loop-driven instrumentals. The album is released on Big Crown Records which marks a debut partnership which will be interesting to follow.

Created across Houston, LA, New York, and Tokyo, this 13-track album showcases Keshi's exceptional talents as a songwriter, producer, and performer, with an ambition clearly aimed at arena performances. Born Casey Luong, Keshi has built a reputation for his unique blend of lo-fi hip-hop and r&b, characterised by soothing vocals and deeply introspective lyrics. Requiem, his sophomore album, follows 2022's Gabriel, which solidified him as a top debut artist. The new album delves into themes of love and loss, particularly influenced by the death of a close friend. This profound experience shaped Keshi's perspective on life and time, culminating in the album's title track, 'Requiem,' which reflects a coming-of-age realization. The album also features the single 'Say,' infused with city pop influences, adding another layer to Keshi's evolving sound. Requiem promises to be a deeply emotional and resonant project, continuing to connect with listeners worldwide.

Alaafia (Cita's World) (7:52)
Review: Honour's debut album, Alaafia, is a journey through the depths of the African diaspora, connecting Lagos, London, and New York. This album blends the darker tones of blues, hip-hop, free jazz, ambient and gospel with elements of Christian mythology and Yoruba folklore. As cinematic as it is painterly, Alaafia is a meditation on life, death and love, drawing inspiration from casual conversations, field recordings, literature, and personal archives. The result is an impressionistic vision that blurs boundaries between everywhere and nowhere, history and the present, the individual and the universal. Dedicated to Honour's late grandmother, the title track Alaafia began after their last embrace, infused with her spirit. This tape-saturated composition transitions from Lagos to London's smoky cityscape, reflecting the artist's grief and PTSD. The dream-like quality is marked by stretched guitar drones and stuttering loops, with their grandmother's shared faith surfacing through the music. 'When Angels Speak of Love' borrows its title from Sun Ra and bell hooks, shaping praise music into disorienting spirals with syrupy DJ Screw-inspired breaks and melancholic guitar splinters. This track engages in a conceptual dialogue with the spirits of both late thinkers, incorporating them into Honour's pantheon of ancestral guides. 'Giz Aard ($uckets),' the album's ninth track, features regimented drums anchoring a sombre melody that swirls with heartache, hovering between death and eternal joy.

Review: Mac Miller's K.I.D.S.: Kickin' Incredibly Dope Shit stands out as a poignant reflection on youth, blending familiar nostalgia with a fresh lens. Released originally on August 13, 2010, this mixtape marks Miller's fourth project and draws inspiration from the 1995 film Kids, mirroring the film's themes throughout its tracks. For many Millennials and older Gen Z listeners, K.I.D.S. encapsulates the essence of teenage freedom and the bittersweet transition into adulthood. Tracks like 'The Spins' and 'Senior Skip Day' evoke memories of high school's final days, capturing the blend of excitement and wistfulness that defined those moments. On 'Poppy,' Miller addresses the emotional turbulence of growing up and loss, dedicating the song to his late grandfather. Despite its youthful exuberance, the mixtape's underlying poignancy becomes evident, particularly as it reminds listeners of Miller's early innocence before his public struggle with addiction. While the mixtape's upbeat tracks, like 'The Spins,' remain playlist staples, the collection now carries a deeper, bittersweet resonance. Now reissued on clear yellow vinyl for another new generation to get a hold of and enjoy.

Review: Bronx rapper Randy Mason is renowned amongst hip-hop heads for his creative freestyles and vibrant live shows and now he channels that same energy into his new project, Practical Rap for Everyday People. Produced entirely by NYC-based artist Deca, this album addresses relatable daily topics and aims to inspire listeners facing personal challenges. Randy chose the title to reflect the relatable nature of the content and draws inspiration from tracks like Sly & The Family Stone's 'Everyday People.' Highlights include 'I Did That' was written with his children in mind, and 'Just Rhyme,' featuring Deca and Homeboy Sandman is another positive rhyme that makes a musical mark as well as a conscious one.
