NEW RELEASES:
1111 - Keys Kicks & Spitts CD http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=18418 Recorded over the spring of this year...Keys Kicks and Spitts by local indie rapper 1111, is a follow up with all new material to his recently released I Want To Be A Janitor's Child, though a little more personal this time and without the guest appearances to really personalize the solo experience of a kid lost in Cali.

Freeway - Streetz Is Mine CD http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=18261 Despite rumors of this release from California label RBC not being official, they have clarified in recent weeks that it is legit and Freeway was heavily involved in the album along the way. Streetz Is Mine is the second release this year from the Philly native since leaving Def Jam/Roc-a-Fella due to not enough promotion on 2007's Free At Last, label politics and other things that happen behind closed doors that we'll just never know about. Featuring State Property affiliates Beanie Sigel and Young Chris with production contributions from 9th Wonder. General Elektriks - A Good City For Dreamers CD http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=18258 From his myspace bio: "General Elektriks is the brainchild of Herve 'RV' Salters. A French national and a keen vintage keyboard player, Salters was playing keys for his bands and for various artists in Paris (Femi Kuti, M, DJ Mehdi etc.) before he moved to San Francisco in 1999. He started working on funk collages as he was moving to the US, using his favorite keyboards, a computer and a mic. GE became a musical journal that followed RV through his move to Seattle, then back to the Bay Area, in Berkeley, where he currently resides. There, he hooked up with the Quannum crew (Blackalicious, Lyrics Born, DJ Shadow) and started sessioning for them. He invited Quannum's own Lateef The Truthspeaker and Chief Xcel on a few tracks, then completed the 1st GE album, 'Cliquety Kliqk.' Hailed by URB magazine, the album is a far out mix of vintage funk, hip hop beats, noir riffs, cinematic arrangements, pop melodies and digital twinkle. After touring behind the album, Salters joined Blackalicious in the studio to work on 'The Craft' and toured with them for over a year. Concurrently, he formed San Francisco trio Honeycut with singer Bart Davenport and drummer/programmer Tony Sevener. Quannum Projects released their critically acclaimed first album, 'The Day I Turned To Glass,' in 2006. As he was touring with Honeycut and laying keys down for more artists (Lifesavas, Curumin, Jel, The Mighty Underdogs, etc.), Salters started working on a second GE effort. 'Good city for dreamers' was completed in the fall of 2008. On 'Good City,' RV whips up his own take on psychedelia, one where future soul, oldschool pop, sampling, indie rock, hip hop and free jazz make sparkles as they collide. In doing so, the French expatriate joins the growing ranks of artists who are citizens of the world, nomads who create a sonic landscape that feeds as much on their origins as it does on their travels." The Ghetto Brothers - The Ghetto Brothers Power 7" http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=18398 Truth and Soul presents another unearthed gem of a 45 with funky Latin players the Ghetto Brothers! The legendary NYC band drops heavy grooves and rhythms with their very important Latin percussion drums and congas all while mixing traditional style soulful vocals, keys, bass and wah wah. Rarely heard and one things for certain, Truth and Soul knows their stuff! IAME - I Am My Enemy CD http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=18396 Finally made available to Access, IamE of Portland, Oregon super group Sandpeople as well as an affiliate of Oldominion, I Am My Energy is the long awaited second solo album and follow up to 2006's Noise Complaints. Featuring guest appearances from Sapient, Ilmmaculate, Clockwerk, Grayskul, and Xperience. Fans won't want to miss out! J Dilla (Jay Dee) - Dillanthology 1-3 Box Set 3xCD http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=18375 Let's do the math...purchasing all three Dillanthology releases separately could put you in the neighborhood of almost forty-five buckaroos and that's not counting California sales tax or shipping! And in this economy...I like the sound of 23.95 for all three! Great deal and great gift idea...but you knew I was gonna say that, didn't you...

J.J. Brown - Connect the Dots CD
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=18160 Veteran music producer J.J. Brown steps into the limelight with his solo debut full-length, Connect The Dots. With over a decade of industry insight under his belt, and musical contributions ranging from underground hip hop to the mainstream (collectively scanning over 300k), there's no need to wonder why Brown's album garners first-class support with features from the likes of multi-platinum seller Gym Class Heroes front man Travis McCoy and pioneering rap legend Craig G. Connect The Dots, which combines Brown's 'golden era' hip hop sensibility with eclectic new-age creativity, is sure to capture the ears and hearts of all urban music listeners. Additional features includes Philadelphia power lyricist Reef The Lost Cauze, longtime collaborator Louis Logic and many more. Yet another strong Producer presented entry in this year's line up. HEAT! Kosha Dillz - Beverly Dillz CD http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=18331 In 2008 Kosha Dillz created Freestyle Vs Written, a 24 hour collaboration album with indie veteran C-Rayz Walz that earned him accolades across the globe from URB and Israel National News to SPIN Magazine. In 2009, there is a new direction: Beverly Dillz. Produced entirely by Belief, who is known for his range of work with artists from Murs and Beanie Man to El-P, Beverly Dillz translates as an uptempo, synthesized introduction to a spiritual fast life of the Hollywood underground via Garden State perspective, sprinkled with a touch of unorthodox "kosher" heritage and culture. With that not being the smallest of tasks, Kosha Dillz brings along guest vocalists Sum Kid and Def Jux collaborator Yak Ballz, as the only additions on his musically empowered vacation West. Namo - Movin N Groovin 7" http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=18335 Back in-stock! Downtempo beat-head Namo re-stocks of with the brand new seven inch off of his brand new EP Long Walks Off Short Piers. Featuring two dope tracks off the CD "Movin N Groovin" cleverly loops a classic Tribe Called Quest sentence into a dreamy and hypnotic head nodder, plus you get the equally impressive "Now You Know" on the flip and an exclusive mini-interlude. For fans of Makestapes, Le Feelings, DJ Krush, or Bully...do not sleep on his EP either! Instrumental heads...you know who you are. Word! Natural Self - My Heart Beats Like A Drum CD http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=18343 Tinkering with synths, falling in love, singing on DJ Food's ecstatically received comeback EP: a distilled account of the past year in Natural Self's life gives an insight into some of the inspirations running through the modern, melodic and powerfully understated sound of his second solo LP on Tru Thoughts. Opoetik & DJ Dopeshoes - Lessons Learned 2xCDR http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=18288 A bounty of unreleased material by San Diego's Opoetik, arranged and mixed by our very own DJ Dopeshoes. Disc 1 is "LESSON 1: the mix", and disc 2 is "LESSON 2: the tracks." Sean Price - Kimbo Price CD http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=18157 Official pre-cursor mixtape to Sean Price's upcoming new album joined by a select few artists guest appearing, including Buckshot, Rock of Heltah Skeltah, Ruste Juxx, Royce Da 5'9" L.E.G.A.C.Y., Poison Pen, Illanoyz, Agallah and more. Sicagony - California CD EP http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=18431 Rapper/producer from Oceanside, CA, drops his debut EP featuring eight songs and drawing upon influences like Timbaland, and fallen icons 2Pac and Biggie. Soulico - Exotic On The Speaker LP http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=18097 Now on vinyl! Soulico is a 4 member DJ crew from Tel Aviv, the first DJ's in the Middle East to master the trifecta of musical production, turntablism, and live DJ party-rocking skills. Soulico has garnered incredible respect and critical acclaim both for their original songs and their unique mash-ups that blend Israeli folk and Jewish melodies with American hip-hop tracks. Having released 3 mixtapes with a combined 40,000 downloads, Soulico's full length album Exotic On The Speaker features guest appearances by Ghostface (Wu Tang), Del the Funkee Homosapien, Lyrics Born, M.I.A protege Rye Rye, Pigeon John, MC Zulu, and Ceci Bastida, Tomer Yosef (Balkan Beat Box) and more. Vokab Kompany - The New Kong CD http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=18416 Following up 2007's Liquid Language, San Diego rappers Burkey Baybe and Rob Hurt along with live instrumentation from various newly added band members bring an upbeat vibe full of party anthems with special guest appearances by Lateef The Truth Speaker, So-Cal homie Deploi, a J-Boogie remix and more. Wale - Attention: Deficit CD/2LP http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=17808 http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=17974 Wale is moving up in the mainstream ranks and is still receiving love from the slightly more underground fans that helped discover him. Much like Kid Cudi with his feet planted on both sides of the hip hop line, perhaps his popularity will help net younger generations coming up on today's pop-rap and pull them in the direction of real hip hop and where it currently resides in the shadows of commercial rap. After landing a big gig performing at the MTV Video Music Awards he's been picked up by major label Interscope and even landed guest appearances on the album from high profile names in the industry right now including Gucci Mane, Pharrell (also on production with Neptunes), the buzzworthy K'naan, dirty south legend Bun B, production from DJ Green Lantern and more. Try to ignore the appearance from Lady GaGa...it does not define the tone of Attention: Deficit and is merely the direction some of the album took on after being scooped up by Interscope. Wu-Tang Clan - Wu-Tang Meets Indie Culture vol.2 2xCD http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=18259 Frank Radio and iHipHop Distribution are proud to announce the highly anticipated follow-up to 2005's "Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Vol. 1." The popular compilation sought to introduce hip-hop fans in general, and specifically the famously large, loyal and diverse fan- base of the Wu-Tang, to the burgeoning world of underground hip-hop. Now, Volume 2 exposes the world to Dubstep and Hip-Hop, bass-thumping beats and the gritty and grimy lyrics will break the mold as we enter the second decade of this century. With Scuba, Parson, Trillbass, Dakimh, DZ, Rogue Star, Stenchman, Datsik & many more producing not remixes, but complex re-interpolations that include a veritable goldmine of Wu-Tang verses from the vaults that feature Raekwon, Ghostface Killa, RZA, GZA, Method Man, U-God & Masta Killa, Wu affiliates Killah Priest, Bronze Nazareth, Prodigal Sunn, Solomon Childs, Son One & more, plus guest spots from Busta Rhymes, MF Doom, Pimp C, Three 6 Mafia, Ras Kass, Vast Aire, Canibus, Lord Jamar & many more, this one of a kind compilation is at the forefront of an emerging cultural and musical blend that is taking place on the margins of the mainstream, and it will soon owe its popularity to this comp. Wyclef Jean - From the Hut to the ... CD http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=18230 DJ Drama presents all new material from Wyclef Jean (aka Toussaint St. Jean) on "From the Hut to the Projects to the Mansion." The utopian one-world sensibility that fuels Wyclef's political consciousness also informs his recordings, which fuse hip hop with as many different styles as he can get his hands on. This release returns Wyclef to his roots and is said to be a far more street record than his last few.
