Haha did you mark that Finsta Bundy record as released by Red Herring Records on purpose?

Good eye V! HAHA! No, that one was genuinely unintentional, I don't know how that slipped by. Fixed.

This 'kend...


Syndrome A.K.A. Devious Monk ‎- Mad Hatters 12" (Devious Productions) 1996



^Another dope slept-on Canadian underground Hip Hop single. This one has really only one really dope track (Storm of the Devil) but it is SO dope it is worth copping this. I got a steal of a deal (only 15 bones) on this random joint, it shoulda cost 50 easily. Syndrome has a really gritty voice, a slow flow, and chugging beats to boot, quality underground that is destined to be on a mixtape.



KMD - Bl_ck B_st_rds LP (Metal Face) 2000



^Classic early Doom, nice double repress on his label Metal Face. A quality HH album, with numerous nice joints throughout. A must-have IMO.

Alrighty then...

...continuing on...



Lately,

Rock Shock - Rock Shock LP (Raz M' Taz) 1987



^Corny stuff, but still somehow excellent and one I return to over and over again. Over the top imagery, mildly mediocre for 87, but so much good material and scratchables on this. Over all, I'd call this a good mid school random rap record. The only horrible track is their "Slow Jam" style rap song and everyone was doing this back then so it's forgivable.



Horeson J.A.E. & Eduardo Scizzahandz ‎– Translation Regulation 12" (A Lab Cult) 2001



^Speaking of random. Indie random Chi-town influenced sounds on this decent 12". I bought it cuz it has O-Type Star AND freestyle legend J.U.I.C.E on a posse cut on the B-side. The A and B primary tracks ain't bad either.



UGK - A Pocket Full of Stones 12" (Jive) 1993



^My quest to purchase all their 12" pieces got a step closer, I think I got about 6 or seven left to get. (There's a lot of em) Still, this one is one of the best. The main reason I buy everything they have their name on is because their beats are so dope, their bass hits are always shaking my subs, and they don't fuck around at all with pointless bullshitisms in their rhymes. Their stuff is just real dope, really real Hip Hop.


Kev Brown - Always \ Albany 7" (Low Budget Records) 2012 and J. Rocc & Rhettmatic - The Beat Junkies 45 Series Volume 1 7" (Sound Junkies Recording) 2012



^If you buy only one 7" single from 2012 and the last few years prior, let it be Kev Brown's "Always". I copped this yesterday, and I already consider it among my most cherished new 7" Hip Hop singles. Laid back, feel good, slapping bass guitar and electric funk guitar loops with simple laid back boom bap beats. This kind of shit will fix a bad day when you drop a needle on it, I ain't kidding. I gotta include this on my next chill out mixtape, it's a really special record.

The Beat Junkies V.1, on the other hand, is just OK. I'm not mad I bought it, I enjoy it, but compared to Kev Brown's 7", no Hip Hop 7" will sound good. I'm a Beat Junkie completionist, I HAD to get that, I didn't have a choice, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone here seeing as it's only OK compared to what J-Rocc and Rhett normally are capable of. It's a novelty seven for collectors, that's about it.
