Once these are gone, they're gone - this CD will NOT be repressed.

Vocal contributions come from Apathy, Columbeyond, Krumbsnatcha and Blac's Branch Davidians crew.

He has churned out countless mixtapes and been on many albums with the likes of Ghostface, Cappadonna, and The Rza himself, and he has toured extensively with all three. Now the flagship artist of Wu Music Group's new movement "Young Wu-Tang", Solomon, formerly known as Killa Bamz is back with a new exclusive street album to coincide with his Wu Music Group release.

The song was unfinished and among tracks recorded for a side project that never saw the light of day until falling into the hands of Stone Throw Records' Dam-Funk and Peanut Butter Wolf, who then added the final touches on Cook's re-introduction to the world. "Dam is surprising because be can spin those records," says Cook. "But he can sing as well. He put the icing on the cake." http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19047 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18767 info@accesshiphop.com Strange Famous consigliare B. Dolan returns with his sophomore album, "Fallen House, Sunken City." Having already established himself as a master storyteller, this time Dolan presents us with a full-throttle, unabashed, boom-bap hip hop record. Joined by legendary beatsmith Alias behind the production board, B. Dolan's aggressive delivery is accentuated by a special brand of bass-heavy breakbeats, while the tailor made musical backdrops assist in the mood of impending doom. Guest appearances by P.O.S., Cadence Weapon, Providence's "What Cheer?" Brigade, and Buddy Peace round out the tracklist, as SFR and B. Dolan set the decade off with a demolition charge. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19121 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19045 info@accesshiphop.com 200 hundred pressed tour CD's featuring unreleased tracks, classics and new material scheduled for his upcoming full length due out on Strange Famous Records! A couple tracks from the get go have a rough recording but we couldn't tell if the distortion was intended or not. The rest of the CD is solid! http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18765 info@accesshiphop.com The debut album from WHY? multi-instrumentalist Josiah Wolf offers up a rare achievement: a solo work with true legs of its own. Wolf's visual snapshots illustrate the wistfulness of a mundane moment and offer canny excavations of those poignancies that lie beneath the surface: tough triumphs, tougher truths, and outright failures. His lean poems are set to an autumnal mix of warm folk and easy psychedelia played out (by Wolf alone) on guitar, vibes, kalimba, Hammond organ, bells, bass, and drums, to name a few. The end result, a sort of chamber pop minus the showy sweeps, virtuosity without the virtuoso, makes Jet Lag as impressive in its subtle execution as it is a timeless, heartfelt listen. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18946 info@accesshiphop.com Acknowledge the Vet is the new mixtape that J-Love did for Killa Sha, who died earlier this year due to complications from diabetes. He had at least one full album ready to drop, which could be out later this year. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19010 info@accesshiphop.com Asked about what to expect from this collaboration with Edo G, Masta Ace fires back without hesitation; "people are gonna be surprised when they hear the mixture of styles." Masta Ace and Edo G, the New York City and Boston hip hop legends, respectively, unite for a modern day rap assault on Arts & Entertainment and how it relates to hip hop. It's not just two veterans rapping upset about the state of today's scene, that would be a boring waste of everyone's time. In addition to the often hilarious, and sad but true stabs at the mainstream, they're also dropping knowledge and saying what needs to be said, while showing they still have plenty of fun doing what they do after having been in the game so long. Featuring guest appearances by Posdnuos, Light (of Dub Rock Allstars and Bush Babees), KRS-One, Doitall (of Lordz Of The Underground) and more, plus production from DJ Spinna, DJ Supreme One, Double O and M-Phazes. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19098 info@accesshiphop.com The official full-length version of new music from OCT, the fearsome foursome that toured and opened all over California before finally completing their own self titled full length in 2007. Daily Dose is another dose of their ever so Cali-familiar party lifestyles and laid back ways as well as proof of their good connections made from touring with some of the undergrounds most seasoned vets, with a guest appearance from Swollen Members' Madchild for example. For fans of Instant Messangers. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18510 info@accesshiphop.com Guillermo Scott Herren's dub remix of Savath y Savalas' 2009 album La Llama. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18951 info@accesshiphop.com Can you believe it's been over ten years since Mad Child and Prevail formed Swollen Members and dropped "Balance"? Their entire back catalog is now out of print, so "Greatest Hits: Ten Years of Turmoil" is your chance to catch the classic tracks you might have missed or lost. Plus a bonus DVD (details tba). http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18947 info@accesshiphop.com On the A side, The Extended Family (Thesis Sahib, fritz tha cat, Zoen, Funken) realize that what they are looking for is actually already here. Travelling the world, meeting good human beings and make some music with them. This is well represented in "Extended Family" with an uptempo, mellow beat. Thesis and fritz the cat show on "We Said No" their dark metaphorical storytelling in form of quality delivery over a slower, melodic beat. On the flipside, Babel Fishh and Beastmaster deliver abstract, weird lyrics about a journey of friendship holding hands over an excellent production by Edison. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19078 info@accesshiphop.com Platinum Pied Pipers member Coultrain prepares this first single in anticipation to his follow up to his 2008 solo album The Adventures Of Seymour Liberty, calling it basically a sequel picking up right where the last one left off. Limited picture cover with lyrics on the back. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19074 info@accesshiphop.com State of Mind Radio and Armory Hip Hop present San Diego DJ Hektik's brand new mixtape featuring slow jams for grown folks, featuring classic 90's R&B, New Jack Swing, older Soul. For fans of DJ Tanner's Pussy Love series, or Boogie Brown's Dedicated mix, Homegrown Blends DJ's and more. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18819 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. Deluxe version of Plastic Beach includes the standard 16-track CD as well as a 45-minute "making of" documentary DVD that provides online access to extra music, games and video. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19073 info@accesshiphop.com Another collection of unreleased material from Deep Rooted's Mr. Brady. Featuring Abstract Rude, Moka Only, Sha Dula, Just Brea,and Blame One. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18667 info@accesshiphop.com Here it is, Gonjasufi's debut full-length on Warp, "A Sufi And A Killer". Here at Access we still call him Sumach (check out the CDR releases under his former moniker), and when we first saw the title of the album it shouted "production by the Gaslamp Killer!" (though it turns out Will/the GLK is only one of the producers). At the moment (so says the Warp publicity), Gonjasufi "stands just outside the spotlight cast on his friends and collaborators Flying Lotus and The Gaslamp Killer, but the sonic brotherhood that exists is implicit rather than as similarities in sound. Drawing from unearthed strains of global psychedelia and merging it with a rejuvenated sense of hip-hop clarity currently distinct to the West Coast, Gonjasufi is more than just a songwriter, MC or performer. His debut album A Sufi And A Killer recalls moments in love as well as trading sinister threats with enemies, sometimes within the same song. Trading in both the murk of lo-fidelity vintage samples and the concentrated crispness of current West Coast production, A Sufi And A Killer is both a roadmap to the riches of the distant past and a signpost to the future." http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18668 info@accesshiphop.com Here it is, Gonjasufi's debut full-length on Warp, "A Sufi And A Killer".

The resulting tracks got out, though not as an official release, and made U-N-I one of the fastest rising hip hop phenomena not only in the LA scene but in the country. Now U-N-I (comprised of Y-O and Thurzday) release a deluxe edition of their critically acclaimed instant classic, entitled "A Love Supreme 2.0". The reworking of the entire project features five brand new tracks including the "Land Of The Kings" remix with Bun B. To sweeten the package, A Love Supreme 2.0 comes with a full length DVD including "A Love Supreme: U-N-I & Ro Blvd", a documentary telling the story of how these three young men created a project that reached hundreds of thousands of people without a major label record deal, plus six music videos and live performances at Bumbershoot and The Key Club. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18140 info@accesshiphop.com This album is a collaborative effort by Count Bass D and his long time friend DJ Pocket, who has recently decided to add MCing to his list of musical endeavors. Both Count and Pocket are Djays & producers but, they chose to let their selections do the walking on this LP. "In The Loop" is one of many albums that are set to be released between the two of them, as they pride themselves on "ACTIVITY" being their motto in 2010. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/17981 info@accesshiphop.com Third album from Chicago hip hop duo Naledge and Double-O. Land of Make Believe gets a push from Duck Down Music and features guest appearances from Just Blaze and MC Lyte. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18935 info@accesshiphop.com A little over three years ago a couple of guys from Albuquerque, New Mexico presented me with a little known album called the Geodesians, and it went on to become one of my all time favorite underground albums. Around the same time they had said they were actively working on a new album, and after years of delays it's finally here! True perfectionists, emcee/producer RW (aka Factor B) and DJ/producer P38 are co-founders of the label Manchromatic in which other members of the collective form to create Geodesic. On the Emperor of The South Pole the duo have taken their love of hip hop's elements (they're also talented graff artists) and have combined it with some more personal experiences that have happened since their last album. From in-fighting to break-ups and re-working entire concepts over the course and creation of the album, it's all here. From RW's range of topics including nocturnal graff missions to his favorite 80's cult classic movie American Ninja, and P38's heavy instrumental solos plus the pair utilizes live drums and violin on several tracks, advancing the already talented production, the album is fast paced and meant to feel non-stop, almost like a mixtape as it comes to its close. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19009 info@accesshiphop.com A collection of new tracks as well as some gems from the Decon label's vaults. The compilation is the first of many of its kind to come as Decon prepares for a big year, already fueled by recent critical acclaim from Nneka's brand new full length released by the label. Featuring a rare-to-cd full length version of "A Beautiful Mine" RJD2's original theme for the show Mad Men, as well as Jay Electronica, an artist who has so far not needed the help of any label major or independent to get his name out! Again the album also features a few more unreleased tracks and existing tracks from past to present Decon releases featuring tracks by J5, Chali 2Na, Dilated Peoples, Aceyalone, Skillz, Del The Funky Homosapien, Zion I and more! http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18458 info@accesshiphop.com Secondhand Sureshots is a filmed experiment in creative sound recycling. Dublab directors Bryan "Morpho" Younce & Mark "frosty" McNeill sent beatmakers Daedelus, Nobody, J.Rocc and Ras G on safari into LA thrift stores with orders to make new music out of five finds while the cameras filmed the whole process. The result is a mini-documentary about putting new life into old vinyl. Over 2 hours of footage, music & bonus material, plus music that resulted on the accompanying CD. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18838 info@accesshiphop.com Though the origin of the project's beginnings are unknown, Freeway and Philly native Beanie Sigal, an original Rocafella member collab for Roc Boys.

Roc Boys features guest appearances by DMX, Young Chris and production from State Property. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19007 info@accesshiphop.com From Milled Pavement Records, Zoen's debut self titled album delivers a rather atypical hip hop. Personal, intimist texts, they are an executory truth for this young french MC and Beatmaker. Featuring guest appearances by JamesPHoney and Andrre (of AndrRomak) He's currently working on production for an album featuring Ceschi Ramos, Soso, Noah23 and more.
