NEW GEAR:
Murs - T-Shirts, Zip-Up Hoodies, Hats
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?artist=Murs&page=gear
Brand new Murs gear! We've got caps and zip-up hoodies that resemble
the trippy-trance-like design on the background of the Murs For
President cover! Plus a new T-Shirt displaying a cartoon-like
depiction of the Legends' emcee on the front in light blue.
NEW RELEASES:
DJ Babu - Duck Season 3 2LP
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=16284
Now on vinyl! It's been five years since part two in this series was
released, but Babu hasn't been on a hiatus by any means, as the Beat
Junkies DJ continues touring and producing with his team, breakout
underground success story Dilated Peoples! Previous installments of
Duck Season were more like mixtapes, part three is more of an
official album release, produced and mixed by Babu with guest
appearances by a gang of veterans and well respected emcee's and
groups including Little Brother, Joe Scudda, Kardinall Offishall,
A.G., Roc C, Oh No, Wildchild, Percee P, Bishop Lamont, M.F. DOOM,
Sean Price, Guilty Simpson, Defari and much much more, and of course
Evidence and Rakaa Iriscience! The DJ/Producer released comps this
year have been out of control and all of 'em pretty damn good in
their own right! See DJ Presto, DJ KO, DJ Design, Jake One, and S1
(Strange Fruit Project) among others.
Evidence - The Layover 12" EP
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=16756
Now on vinyl! Originally conceived as a side project with producer
Krhysis before his next big move, Evidence of Dilated Peoples
decided to turn the Layover into a quality EP that reminded him of
the days when you could pick one up while waiting for a full length
and get some quality music and exclusives in the meantime that gets
you excited for the next step. Featuring production from previously
mentioned Halls of Justus producer Krhysis and the addition of The
Alchemist, DJ Babu, and Evidence himself. Also featuring guest
appearances by Blu, Phonte (of Little Brother), Will.I.Am, Krondon
(of Strong Arm Steady), Elzhi and Aloe Blacc!
Lexington + Whatevski - Customer Appreciation Day CD
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=16805
From Handsolo Records The precursor to Preggers Can't be Choosers
(dropping later this year) this album features b-sides and
unreleased material that won't be featured on the full length. For
fans of other artists on the label such as Epic and Wordburglar.
Mr. Chop - Lightworlds 12" EP
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=16757
Mr. Chop offers up a futuristic mixture of fuzzy psychedelia, funk,
jazz and musique concrete informed by years of record collecting and
engineering at his Cheshire-based Ape Studios. Assisted by Malcolm
Catto (drums) and Jake Ferguson (bass) of The Heliocentrics, amongst
a host of other crack UK session musicians.
Ras G - Ghetto Sci-Fi CD
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=16556
Spotted in the same circles as rising stars Flying Lotus and The
Gaslamp Killer, Ras G unleashes Ghetto Sci-Fi with The Afrikan Space
Program for a super space-y, tripped out instrumental journey
through the cosmos. Kinda like how some of the best sci-fi movies of
the past had all these fantastic ideas of utopian societies, with
flying cars, humans and aliens living together, and even harsher
post apocalyptic themes where Earth is a wasteland left behind...and
now, a lot of those things are all pretty outdated, sometimes
laughable. But the music of the past, which was perceived to be the
music of our future's unknown possibilities lends itself to Ras G's
vision. Exploring sounds, and movies, and old sci-fi themes with his
penchant for funk, jazz and soul into an electric boat ride through
a wormhole in time. Its deep stuff and definitely for fans of Flying
Lotus, Dabrye, Dr. Who Dat, Prefuse 73 and more!
Grand Invincible - Purse Thieves 12"
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=16803
Grand Invincible is Luke Sick and DJ Eons One. Here's what they have
to say about themselves: "Grand Invincible was formed under the
philosophy that hip hop as an art form was best served under the
technological limitations of the late-80s and early-90s. Armed with
only an AKAI MPC 2000, two turntables, a mixer, a microphone, and a
diggin' ass record collection with the intention of making the most
out of the least (the original hip hop aesthetic), the duo set out
in the summer of 2007 to resurrect the grimy breaks and elevate a
rare science."
Kegs - Harsh Reality (with DVD) 7"
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=16802
Now available separate from the t-shirt combo deal! The latest from
KEGROC, this comes in the form of a 7-track 7" instrumental project
that is limited to only 225 copies (each is numbered), pressed on
transparent green vinyl. All of the covers were hand screen printed.
Included in the package is a short dvd. That dark instrumental stuff
we all love!!
