LISTED REVIEWS

Shed Light
Shed Light Perseverance EarlySpotter • 2005

This album is everything you would expect from a Boston hip-hop label; raw lyrics and fat boombap are served on Shed Light’s debut album.

Ambidex
Ambidex The Great Potato Famine EarlySpotter • 2005

This album is refreshingly educative, mad creative and a joy to listen to. Rewind!

QuiteNyce
QuiteNyce PowerMoves AbstrakRecordings • 2005

'PowerMoves' is a great album that not only has dope jazzy funk production but also strong, conscious rhymes. QuiteNyce? Yo, this album is VeryNice!

K-Dee
K-Dee Ass, Cash Or Gas Lench Mob • 1994

Who’s the biggest pimp of them all? K-Dee babyyyyy! No doubt, this is one of the smoothest pimp albums ever created. 'It don’t stop, till the panty’s drop!'.

Jneiro Jarel
Jneiro Jarel Three Piece Puzzle Kindred Spirits • 2005

The spacey wickedness of Sun-Ra, the jazzy boom bap of A Tribe Called Quest and the reflection of Philadelphia’s impressive soul legacy are resonating through this album.

Bizzie Boyz
Bizzie Boyz Droppin It Yo! Payroll • 1989

Like DJ Clark Kent says on the backside cover of the album: 'This is the dope that turns hip hop listeners into addicts!'. Now, start searchin...

Opio
Opio Triangulation Station Hiero Imperium • 2005

This LP listens very easily due to the fact that the tracks are kinda short, but mostly because the music is fresh like a cool breeze on a summer’s eve.

POSTED 02|14|2005
Scienz of Life
Scienz of Life Diggin In The Archives CD/DVD Raptivism • 2005

The CD runs through their discography and contains many singles (a & b-sides), exclusives and their first radio appearance on the legendary Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito Show.

Priority One
Priority One Total Chaos Tuff City • 1989

This is a record with attitude, pumpin bass lines, rollin drums and some electro breaks. Dope, def, devastating… Priority One Posse has left a mark in the last year of a remarkable hip-hop decade.

Low Profile
Low Profile We're In This Together Priority • 1989

Prices go high for this one, for the LP as well as the CD (even higher!), but you just need to hunt it down!
