http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/restocks.php This page also includes older releases that are new to our store. en-us http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/15646 info@accesshiphop.com There is a general feeling that what's been done can never be recreated, and in era of post-Dilla producers, no one wants the comparison and most people dare not make it. So, what is originally meant to be a compliment that is hard to live up to, becomes an unwilling attempt for and artist to remain original, despite the overwhelming similarities. It's next-gen producers like Flying Lotus, Dr. Who Dat and Dabrye who carry this burden lately, and have to shake off the "next Dilla" tags they are often given. Not because they don't want them, but I can see where it would be a problem, because it appears as if Dilla created his own genre since his passing, and that genre could be called Dilla-esque. My only question, is it really such a bad thing? For his Warp debut Flying Lotus takes his unique brand of electronica, which is derived from many other traditionally sampled genres in hip hop such as funk, soul and jazz, to levels barely touched on with last Fall's Reset EP. The DJ and producer gained momentum in the underground LA scene with heavily passed around self made remixes, as his music from debut album 1983 even landed spots on Adult Swim promos. Los Angeles shows an extreme amount of progressive growth from his last album to the next, and is a true sign that this genius in the making has only just begun to show us what he is capable of. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18982 info@accesshiphop.com From a time when New York City underground hip hop was at its peak and in its prime comes "The Lost Episodes." Legendary lyricists were appearing at venues such as Nuyorican Poet's Cafe, SOB's, Vinyl, Lyricist Lounge and recording out of studios such as FireHouse, D&D and Chun-King just to mention a few. Monikers come to mind such as Natural Elements comprised of Mr. Voodoo aka AGU, L-Swift aka SWIGGA and Anthony Cruz aka A-Butta. House of Repz which included A.L. Skillz, Benny Blanco from the Bronx aka BEN.Y., Jedi aka Son of Spock, Absolute and recently added members EchoOne and Oktober Zero. Lyrical Wizards such as Matrix & the Pyramindz, Punchline, Wordsworth, Avatar, Animosity, Cyanide, Sir Menelik aka Scaramanga Shallah, Godfather Don and the list goes on and on. These were the days when Microphone Controllers inspired one another to write sharp lyrics, and being skillful at your craft actually carried weight in the streets. In this exclusive series producer Kenny Diaz takes you inside the often talked about and never duplicated realm of the New York Underground scene at its grittiest, its finest and in its purest form. Included are unreleased tracks from various artists who recorded with Kenny Diaz in the dungeons of the NYC underground. Now that the vaults have been opened by Kenny Diaz, Destro88 and Kings Link Recordz, you've got a prime source for that raw uncut NYC 90s Hip Hop. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18739 info@accesshiphop.com 90's Trip-hop pioneers Massive Attack return with their fifth full length album! Heligoland is the long awaited follow-up to 2003's critically-acclaimed 100th Window. Long time cohort Horace Andy makes a return alongside Massive Attack founding members Robert Del Naja (3D) and Grant Marshall (Daddy G). Featuring guest vocals on every track including Tunde Adebimpe of TV On The Radio and Damon Albarn of Gorillaz who also provides bass and keys contributions. This combines the best of their humble electric beginnings and combines it with their more modern day sound incorporating live instrumentation. Fans of Portishead and Unkle and all other comparisons that apply will love this! http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18818 info@accesshiphop.com The brainchild of iconic singer Damon Albarn and Tank Girl co-creator Jamie Hewlett, Gorillaz are made up of mysterious and imaginative cartoon characters. While the image is powerful, it is the music that has ultimately made this project such a multi-million selling success. Albarn's ability to diversify musically shows no signs of slowing down on Plastic Beach, the follow-up to 2005's Demon Days. Collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Gruff Rhys, De La Soul, Little Dragon and more make this a truly special album http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/13264 info@accesshiphop.com Now available stateside! Rollie Pemberton hails from Edmonton, and as Cadence Weapon, Breaking Kayfabe is the mc/producer's brave attempt at breaking any preconceived notions one might have about Canadian hip hop. The thing that our neighbors to the North benefit from, is a lack of territorial perception about East and West, or North and Southside hip hop stylings. I don't think there are people in Vancouver who are indifferent about the hip hop that comes out of Toronto. Cadence Weapon sounds, well, unlike anything I've ever heard out of Canada. At least not since the early days of Buck 65. Lo-fi, blip-hop and bass-y. I can't think of anyone who has ever added something that sounds like a didgeridoo to something else that sounds like an 8-bit Nintendo beat! His flow comes off as dry, sarcastic and witty and often shifts to an assertive slurring baritone. Bottom line, hearing is believing, and this guy has got something brewing inside of him, whether its his ear for producing something thats never been done before or a sense of humor he manages to sneak in just before the song gets too serious. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/9299 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/13617 info@accesshiphop.com Producer Copperpot aims to strengthen his following with a sophomore LP, roping in some big names and underground mainstays to lace his already engaging beats. Appearances from KRS-One, Prince Po, Psalm One, Masta Ace, Edo G and more! What're You Looking At? http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/16608 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/14468 info@accesshiphop.com Paying tribute to Dilla with a spacey instrumental laced with the kind of soul and jazz keys that Dilla championed so beneficially into the hip hop realm! But still, this is a trademark Spinna cut with a deeper electric tone overall and a funky beat. "When Planets Collide" is a heavier, more layered track on the flip side. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/4935 info@accesshiphop.com The first Roots album makes it back in print, wonderful as ever. Waaay before they struck a hit with 'You Got Me' and had a label deal, they were hustlin' this in hopes of catching someones ear. It must've worked cause about a year later they made their major label debut with Geffen Records. See what they were up to in their early days... http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18804 info@accesshiphop.com Out of the Netherlands now comes forth a new generation of Dutch Masters: The Q4 - The QuadraphoniQuartet. Three individual names, with individual styles, combine forces and together reach a new plateau in sample composition. Hundreds of obscure records where chopped to their bare essentials to collectively create this multi-dimensional sound trip: Sound Surroundings offers a new look on a retro sound system: Quadraphonic music. Although this time around, it's not 4 speakers, but 3 musicians and 1 listener creating the square of sound.

The hip-hop/electronica duo is comprised of two high-school friends, former Los Angeles radio DJ Carlos Nino and Rhode Island native Fabian Ammon Alston. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/12550 info@accesshiphop.com The perfect soundtrack to your mid-afternoon fix....somewhere between the electronic skips of Prefuse 73, the charming melody of Daedelus and the bassy bounce of J Dilla, amongst other more obvious influences, this 23 year old nephew of Alice Coltrane holds it down steadily on the beats. Do not skip this record over, this is the surprise sleeper of the year! http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/1965 info@accesshiphop.com Nas' CLASSIC first album, ILLmatic is here on a single LP and will bring back the memories of the early/mid nineties when hip hop was knockin' and bumpin', minus the corporate jargain of this and that and image and all that good stuff. What we're trying to say is, this album is GOOD MUSIC! http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/6220 info@accesshiphop.com Here is the first album from the Wu-Tang Clan.

GO! http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/14538 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/16469 info@accesshiphop.com In 2001, the Los Angeles club the Root Down put on their first of a three part series called "Sound Clash." It featured Madlib and Cut Chemist going head-to-head, beat-for-beat for respect in front of a packed club. Each of the tracks had never been released and with each of the three rounds, the excitement rose. The last round unleashed a partisan celebration from the captivated crowd and it was a beautiful underground Hip Hop moment. Mochilla founders, Coleman and B+, went to the first round with their Sony PC100 single chip cameras with intentions of trying out their new toys; however, "It wasn't until afterwards that we put both cameras on the floor, rewound the tapes and played them in sync that we realized we might have something." Root Down, approximately a year later, organized the second battle. Round Two featured a pre-multi-platinum Will.I.Am and Thes One and again, both Mochilla founders duly attended with the aforementioned cameras and caught the entire night's proceedings. The drama and controversy of Round Two with huge aesthetic differences on display as well as the theatrics of clothes being taken off and ludicrous names made the night a talking point in Los Angeles to this day in beat maker circles. The last battle featured Oh No and Exile in 2003 and with a relatively dignified display by the youngest pairing of the three, they closed the series with good music and much respect. Mochilla never intended to release this DVD but since the tragic passing of DJ Dusk, they felt it was important to honor his legacy and share his gifts. This is for him: no edits, no overdubs, and no interruptions - just raw Hip Hop at its most exciting, vital and real. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/9114 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18586 info@accesshiphop.com Old school JKC album from back when the boys were...well...still in school!

Under the wing of Krs-One, Channel Live dropped one of the dopest singles in the mid-nineties... "MADIZM." This is the album that it's on. It worth it on the sole fact! There are a couple of bangers on there, but "Madizm" is the JOINT!!!! Cuz we smoke madizm! http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/7192 info@accesshiphop.com Finally this album sees the light of day again.

The album's conception owes a great deal to World Famous Beat Junkie, J.Rocc, who provided the trio with close to 200 of the Madlib the Beat Konducta's tracks to choose from. Strong Arm Steady had previously rapped over Madlib productions on the Madlib and Talib Kweli Liberation album, but this full-length marks a long-desired collaboration between the four. It's a hip-hop jam session, with the group acting as the rhythm section for an all-star cast of guest vocalists such as Planet Asia, Guilty Simpson, Evidence, Chase Infinite, and Phonte of Little Brother. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18417 info@accesshiphop.com Over an hour of full length original re-edits of classic love songs remixed with Hip Hop, R&B, and Reggae including mashups like: Jay Z vs. Surface, SWV vs. Goapele, Keyshia Cole vs. Biggie, Groove Theory vs. Sheek Louch, Jade vs. Surface, Pharrell vs. 112, Ryan Leslie vs. Color Me Badd, Talib Kweli vs. LL Cool J, Marvin Gaye vs. Sizzla, Michael Jackson vs. Musiq Soulchild, and Lil Wayne vs. Player. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/5167 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/2329 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/17549 info@accesshiphop.com Brand new from the depths of the hardcore San Diego underground scene!

Featuring guest scratching by Tenshun! "Chasing victims through sound systems." http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/17941 info@accesshiphop.com From the Anticon website: "Seven months after the release of theFREEhoudini - the celebrated mixtape that announced Themselves' return - Doseone and Jel drop CrownsDown, a careful and vicious exhibition of mastered rap tactics and sampling ethics. Themselves' third album proper has been gestating in the gut of this seminal group for some time. It's both a return to form and a honing of what's come before (Subtle, cLOUDDEAD, Deep Puddle Dynamics) - both the opus that these lionhearted two were always meant to make, and the album that their hip-hop-obsessed teen aged selves always hoped to hear. On CrownsDown, Themselves hold back nothing, welding brute skill to a concrete set of tracks that represents an essential ten commandments of rap. In preparation, Doseone and Jel revisited their beloved hip-hop collections (e.g. Gang Starr, Ultramagnetic MCs, Public Enemy, Saafir) and whittled down the recurring themes that made their favorite records so sturdy. Each song on CrownsDown represents one of these archetypes - you'll find the "don't bite" song, the diss track, the story rap, the "bootleggers beware" song, and the "don't fuck with my DJ" jam, among others. In this way, Themselves revisit something classic in order to invent their own future-school entry to the annals." http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/395 info@accesshiphop.com This has got to be the most well-rounded, one of the most listener friendly albums out of the Anticon family.

The album is "a celebration of creativity and uniqueness, things that are necessary to a meaningful life expression. It's about being yourself." Slicing pop n'lock-friendly funk with gospel and gracious soul, it appears the seeds of her early experimental releases are now blossoming as her trademark scattershot beats and adventurous deep jazz melodies have grown to become the backbone for fully crafted songs. Partner (MC and producer Dudley Perkins) describes the release as her most "pop" record to date. If only all pop was this free-spirited and barefaced. With aspirations to be a modern-day Quincy Jones, Muldrow is truly a renaissance musician. She is always looking to take her craft to a higher ground. She channels her unstoppable creativity into music that is commercially viable but does not lose sight of her essence as an artist who challenges the norm. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/632 info@accesshiphop.com Holy Crap! This music could be life altering... Just give it about 2 listens and your hooked. + it features Mikah Troy 9, OMD,& Medusa.

From the Library to West Coast Workforce to Lab Waste, as well as handfuls of self-made and self-distributed albums, he's earned himself quite a cult following. This album (the first from 2Mex's newly formed label as well as the first under his own name) signals his departure from not only the Subtitle moniker, but conversely his return to the lo-fi minimalism that caught listeners early on. This is vintage Sub-T without a needed alias. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/13010 info@accesshiphop.com Die Del Amor (aka Die Young), 2Mex, Stacey Dee and all around dope producer Deeskee team together to bring you The Returners.

A fair amount of the tracks are from imports, 12" out-of print b-sides, and more! http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18478 info@accesshiphop.com Critical Madness (cRITICAL + Madness) is the combination of two legendary battle vets who originally met in the Orlando hip-hop scene and eventually partnered up after competing for the same crown in the final round of numerous open mic freestyle tournaments. What started as a couple of CM tracks has now manifested into their debut album "Bringing Out The Dead", released through Domination Recordings, which features collaborations with Slaughterhouse front man Joell Ortiz as well as Sabac Red, Young Zee, long-time collaborator Little Vic and others. Covering the production side, TEMPERMENTAL produced the bulk of the LP with TzariZM adding his own brand of sickness to the stew. Marco Polo and DC the MIDI alien also contributed to the soon-to-be classic. "BOTD" covers everything from the politics down to pornography using clever lyricism & unique wordplay over infectious melodies laced with some boom bap. It is the experience of a lifetime and gives a slight peek into the influences that created this mind bending duo. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18497 info@accesshiphop.com Rush Hour Records presents Beat Dimensions Volume Two!

Basically, the headnod factor is through the roof! The CD compiles all three 12" EP's as well as the 7" in the series and two CD-only bonus tracks totaling 20 in all! http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18654 info@accesshiphop.com First of a one-a-month series from Madlib called the Madlib Medcine Show. No. 1: Before The Verdict is a seventeen track reimagination of Guilty Simpson's Ode To The Ghetto, plus unreleased songs, other remixes and tons of beats. Somewhat of a prelude to Madlib & Guilty Simpson's forthcoming OJ Simpson album. Limited CD pressing. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/5925 info@accesshiphop.com AMAZING. MF Doom is back with his second album this year sporting production from King Honey, Heat Sensor, RJD2 and more!!! Believe me, one of this year's best! http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/17626 info@accesshiphop.com This is most eagerly awaited Souls of Mischief album ever! Montezuma's Revenge was created the old-fashioned way, with the MCs, A-Plus, Phesto, Opio & Tajai, and producers, Prince Paul & Domino, in the lab together from the beginning to the end of the recording process. "We rented a house" explains Opio. "Prince Paul came out, we had no distractions, we just did music every day. "It was cool" adds Tajai. "He had concepts, and it's good to have an outside perspective - it was a great process." The result is a cohesive, creative Hip Hop album, the kind of project you'd expect from veterans like Souls of Mischief under the auspices of a genius producer like Prince Paul. Souls first encountered Prince Paul while touring with A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul back in the day. But it was on a more recent tour with Handsome Boy Modeling School that the seeds of this collaboration were planted. So what exactly is Montezuma's Revenge? Tajai comments, "We recorded the album on Montezuma Street." The final product features 18 tracks of the quality Hip Hop you've come to expect from Hieroglyphics, with cover art by esteemed illustrator Steve Lopez (famous for his illustrations of Erykah Badu and others). Of course there's more to the title than the location of the recording, Tajai says "The deeper meaning is this album will make you crap yourself." http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/10150 info@accesshiphop.com Let's face it. This isn't the first time jazz and hip hop have met. Drez and Marty Williams aren't exactly coming from left field, but they are doing it right. Silky smooth, infectious, alluring. Feel good music at it's finest. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18116 info@accesshiphop.com Authentic, psychedelic library vibes from the golden era meticulously recreated in the new millennium. This is the expanded version of the Natural Yogurt Band's now out-of-print debut album, with three never before released bonus tracks. Limited edition 2x10" in a deluxe "mini LP" gatefold package including thick, cardboard "paste-on" silver foil sleeve. Limited to 1,000 copies (there will be no second pressing). http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/13810 info@accesshiphop.com Armed with the arsenal of Drez beats, Zaire Black steps up with a brand new album.

Anyone that's heard his mixtapes or seen him live knows this is going to be a banger. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/14793 info@accesshiphop.com An exploration through hip hop and downtempo with a focus on inspired sounds from India to Africa. This 12" single features "Roads" off the full-length Jahta Beat, and includes a remix and an all new track "Water" featuring Sahaja Uprockers as taken from the upcoming Jahta Beat Vol. 2! The B-side features an exclusive remix of Mykah Nyne's "Tabloid" from Citrus Sessions and "INI" another track remixed from the original Jahta Beat...'nuff said. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/4156 info@accesshiphop.com Every Drez CD we have is limited and dope as hell!!!! Trust us, These are primo mixes...Drez plays the Seriously Classic Hip-Hop Joints non-stop on this one!!! So many Joints!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18488 info@accesshiphop.com Drez continues his amazing Jahta series with Path to Light...or officially number three! Simply put, this is yet another batch of meditation music fusing hip hop groundwork with world music. Sitars, Arabian vocals, African percussion and mellow downtempo beats! http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/6551 info@accesshiphop.com These guys put it down for many of the Bay Area cats to follow and this album is straight heat so peep it if you love that West Coast sound! http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/17889 info@accesshiphop.com Producer/MC and DJ 14KT has been working steadily as a member of Michigan hip hop collective the Athletic Mic League and the producing team of the Lab Techs! He's been a big player in helping launch what looks to be a long and successful career run for Buff1 and has produced for plenty of other Michigan area artists. The mostly instrumental affair is full of breathtaking sample work and beautiful sonic ambiance that fills the voids between the drums. The Golden Hour, in medical terms, is apparently that last stretch to revive an ailing patient to a full recovery, which inspired 14KT to finally unveil his solo outing in search of his own meaning. It is very much in keeping with the unique sounds of the hip hop movement coming out of Detroit and greater surrounding areas like An Arbor as of late, it is also reminiscent of J-Dilla (not just throwing that out there either) and others leading by example like Black Milk. It should also be said that this is not the type of album you prefer to hear lyrics over while listening, because that would merely cheapen the effort into some kind of sales pitch for shopping beats. You can really feel 14KT speaking through the music here, which may sound cliche, but in this case it's true. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/16695 info@accesshiphop.com In 2007 Madlib went with the Mochilla crew to Recife in the Northeast of Brasil. After spending three weeks there he came home and made six mixes called Dirty Brasilian Crates Vol.1- 6. They are filled with jumps, cross referenced with Bossa, notated with Folkloric chants, pointed with Jazz. Lyrical, dirty and strikingly beautiful. Speto De Rua Volume 1, named after Madlib's favorite food from the trip, chicken skewers coated with farofa (found on the streets of Olinda). http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/731 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/12967 info@accesshiphop.com An official release for 9th Wonder's stab at Jay-Z's Black Album.

Like the title says, it's got a Middle East vibe to it. No doubt! Drez basically played all the percussion and layed the keys down and brought some other cats in to rock stuff like the guitar and the sitar is amazing!

Some of the rarest and best examples of fuzzy, funky Brazilian psychedelia, originally released on promo-only 7-inch records from 1967 to 1976. Each song contained on this album has never been reissued, and has been restored from the best source possible and remastered for near-perfect sound quality.

The pressed CD will be in a quality cardboard sleeve with full color art on the front. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18629 info@accesshiphop.com Officially pressed on CD after previously only being available as digital download! It's been eight years since the last Beat Machine came out and Eligh has no doubt been busy with his crew and his own solo work along with side projects and plenty of production duties in the time that has passed. But under the persona of Gandalf, the Living Legends member has always brought something different to the table. These are abstract extractions of sonic sounds and samples and pieced together by an artist with no limits. Eligh's lyrics are poetry on paper, but part of Gandalf's poetry is his production and the only way to enjoy it is for it to be heard. Aside from maybe a little Berlin moment, this is a perfect fit in the Beat Machine series and you'll notice perhaps that it's a little more advanced as it's been so long since the previous two. Sure to be considered a new classic amongst fans and overall a dope and often trippy instrumental album. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/15980 info@accesshiphop.com Former Non Phixion standout and one of the organizers behind La Coka Nostra aggressively pushes the envelope, representing hip-hop in a manner unlike any other. Whether holding it down alongside iconic MC's such as Raekwon and B-Real, or masterminding stellar collaborations with the likes of the legendary Bad Brains and heavy metal kingpins Killswitch Engage, Ill Bill confidently swaggers the line between genres with legendary names such as DJ Premier, DJ Muggs, and DJ Lethal among others behind the boards. Also, for the first time, a bulk of the production has been propelled by the hardcore MC himself. Additionally, in order to bring these sonic textures to life, longtime Wu-Tang Clan mix engineer Carlos Bess brought his state-of-the-art boom-bap, to ensure that the menacing soundscapes would be as sharp as the undeniably crucial lyrics without exploiting the social and political topics touched on throughout the album, be it racism, the VA Tech shootings or the War in Iraq. Fans won't want to miss out! Comes with a free poster while supplies last! http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18083 info@accesshiphop.com With only one official album released his 18-year career, R.A. The Rugged Man's reputation still far exceeds rappers who have several albums to their name. He is perhaps one of the most heavily bootlegged underground rappers with hundreds of tracks and collabs floating around out there somewhere. Legendary Classics collects some of the best of the rest of those tracks with featurings from Notorious B.I.G., Mobb Deep, Kool G Rap, Buckwild, Ayatollah, Jedi Mind Tricks, Sadat X, Akinyele, Tragedy, J-Live and more.

The result is a mini-documentary about putting new life into old vinyl. Over 2 hours of footage, music & bonus material. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/16987 info@accesshiphop.com The extremely limited red heart-shaped 10" single from Stones Throw's latest signing (how can we keep up with 'em?!) Mayer Hawthorne!

This is the fourth time these have been pressed up in under a year...not sure if there'll be a fifth. GO! http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/16968 info@accesshiphop.com Everything She Touched Turned Ampexian is Guillermo Scott Herren's latest album on Warp, and is very much in keeping with the more defined sound of 2007's Preparations. In the past much of his work was branded with his signature choppy, glitchy, cut up hip hop with a sonic, yet upbeat electronica tone...and here, you can see the fine tuning of this style has found a middle ground offering well put together arrangements and explorations in sounds and ambiance, accompanied by the right touch of beats and patterns throughout. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/10359 info@accesshiphop.com After a couple of teaser mix cd's, the wait is over! Deacon the Villain and DJ Kno drop their third Cunninlynguists studio album, A Piece of Strange. This much slept-on crew will definitely shine in 2006.

Featuring the incomparable vocal talents of Andreya Triana, the video for the single is already a hit on YouTube, and now the audio is being released in all its full-res magnificence. Coming on like a cross between early Massive Attack and classic soul-jazz, The Keeper is the sound of an artist completely in control of his resources, an artist with the confidence to do a little brilliantly. He coaxes a fantastic, characterful performance from Triana and makes music which is both melancholy and effortlessly uplifting. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18461 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18781 info@accesshiphop.com Brand new from Styles P of the group formerly known as The Lox in the 90's and now as D-Block with members Sheek Louch and Jadakiss.

After four long years between Bazooka Tooth and now (despite a few EPs and an exclusive online release), much has changed in his life musically and personally, and this newest album reflects that, all encompassingly. Thematically, each song seamlessly melds into the next, exploring the nature of relationships, the struggle of adulthood and various glimpses of life. The album marks a true return to form, finding him collaborating with longtime friend and producer Blockhead as well as Def Jux staples El-P, Cage and Rob Sonic, all the while welcoming new friends Breeze Brewin (Juggaknots) and John Darnielle (Mountain Goats) into the fold. Production is a shining beam of light as well, with Aesop and friends juxtaposing earthy low-end grooves with futuristic bumps. The wait has been long, but well worth the anticipation. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/2606 info@accesshiphop.com From out of the vaults!

The Brooklyn group featuring the original members (Q-Unique of Rocksteady Crew, D-Stroy, Freestyle, Swel Boogie and Jise One) formed in 1993 as the Bushwick Bomb Squad and rose to acclaim with the classic single "The Session" in 1996. In 1999 they struck a deal with the indie-mostly-rock label Matador Records as one of the only hip hop groups to be signed to the label. At one point the group rose to almost eight members but were down to only three by the time their 2001 follow up Date of Birth was ready to drop.

Meaning, within its respective genre, it holds the same relevance today, as it did when it was first released. And the key word here being 'classic'. With as many terms as you can try and come up with to classify the music, it refuses to be outdated, because good music will live on forever...across all genres.

After relocating to his hometown of Toronto he also switched labels and found the freedom to "take those passionate feelings I have and transmuting them into something that's fun -- because I'm having so much fun right now." The album features him as equal parts fire-spitting MC, crooner and composer embracing genre contradictions and not allowing himself to get caught up in a single sub-category musically. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18298 info@accesshiphop.com Once one of the most respected rising stars in hip hop in the mid 90's, Canibus' rise to fame fell as quickly as it arrived. After his public beef with LL Cool J to his Gold selling Can-I-Bus produced by Wyclef, he quickly burned bridges in the industry after critics panned him while fans praised him. In 2000 he returned with 2000 BC after blaming Wyclef over the moderate success of his first album but more controversy came after Eminem turned down a request to appear on the album. It underperformed and Universal released him from his contract. He would go on to release an album once a year with C True Hollywood Stories (an alleged concept album about the music industry), Mic Club: The Curriculum and what seemed like a return to the basics with Rip the Jacker which featured production by Jedi Mind Tricks' Stoupe The Enemy of Mankind. Mind Control was released in 2005 after a hiatus and brief stint in the army following his discharge. The independent label that released the album claimed it would cover his experience in the armed forces but it instead featured songs recorded around 2001 and many of which had already been heard and bootlegged. His next album that same year Hip Hop For Sale was produced by Nottz but featured tracks that had been leaked on a mixtape almost a year before which caused tension between the two and called for other producers coming in last minute to fill in a few new tracks. Fans and critics weren't sold on it. For Whom The Beat Tolls dropped in 2007 with what little remained of his cult fan base and finally Canibus was back and has since been featured as a guest on several other albums! Melatonin Magik comes after his renewed following and features the MC rapping harder and raspier and even taking aim at Eminem with a diss track. Old habits die hard I guess.

Orko fans worldwide unite and rejoice! I remember hearing as far back as 2006 that it was almost going to be picked up by Ninja Tune. Unfortunately nothing came of it and the San Diego underground hip hop legend worked on several other projects while perfecting and waiting for the right time to drop Forbidden Physics including his project with Odessa Kane and the Left Handed Scientists album with Anti-Citizens. He's also appeared on many other local artists' albums holding it down for the scene here and performs at too many shows to even count. This is quite possibly Orko's best and most refined work to date, handmade and all! Orko has been actively putting San Diego hip hop on the map for almost two decades and has never sacrificed his style for anybody else's interests...when you talk about people keeping it real, this is one of the guys who actually lives up to it. Whether he's rapping fast over drum-n-bass or the hardcore, spaced-out abstract beats that he is known for...Orko wants to remind us that he is and always has been hip hop first and foremost! One love, homie. <br><br>Please note that two bonus tracks cut from the final album ("All Expendable" and "Blast Off and Destroy") are available for download at <a target="fp" href="http://orkoeloheim.bandcamp.com">orkoeloheim.bandcamp.com</a>. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/9866 info@accesshiphop.com Live electronic / jungle band with vocals by Orko.<br><br>Please note: this release is currently available only as a CD-R, supplied to us by Orko, made by him from his master copy of the tracks and cover art. Also, the order and number of tracks on Orko's CD-Rs sometimes varies by one or two tracks, so the track listing here could be slightly different from what you get. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19060 info@accesshiphop.com Brand new mix from St. Louis DJ Trackstar!

Mixed by DJ Trackstar. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18741 info@accesshiphop.com The second single from neo-soulstress Kylie Auldist's Made Of Stone album out on Tru Thoughts. In addition to the Ashley Beedle Streetsoul Edit of the lead track this 12" also features another nicely re-worked version by PTH Projects' Amnesia Mix and remixes of "One Goodbye" by Flevans and Hint, respectively. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/16095 info@accesshiphop.com Going back to 2005, emcees Verbz, Madmonk and A.Poet were brought together by friends in the local hip hop scene and have now created Styles Free. Gaining mutual respect for one another and now on the road to becoming lifelong friends, they possess different styles of rhyme patterns and thus play off of each other well in a cipher. Energetic live shows and a diverse array of topics make this yet another of the more focused and positive groups coming out of San Diego, with a mission to bring back boom-bap and stay true to the elements. Give it a shot and support local artists! http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18206 info@accesshiphop.com JFK & Onry Ozzborn, better known as Grayskul, have teamed up with indie superstar beatsmith Maker to form Graymaker! After two previous releases gave them larger exposure through Rhymesayers, the Oldominion members have stayed busy over the years touring and collaborating, including releasing last year's amazing Gigantics compilation, but never have they come so clean like this team up with Maker. The depth of his production inspires others to bring out raw emotion and artistry in their lyrics and Graymaker is just one more reason why so many people would want to get even just a taste of a beat from Maker. Featuring guest appearances by Qwazaar and Zavala. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/484 info@accesshiphop.com Second coming from the man with the hooded fang.

Blending dance hall with underground hip hop much like the recent release of Aceyalone's Lightening Strikes! It took some work to find a middle ground for the project, but the effort was well worth it as the result is a refreshing departure from your everyday indie hip hop album. Combination Locked reinvents the Northwest sound of which both Sleep and Zelly Rock helped pioneer.
