( 12" SINGLES & EPs )
BLACK MILK Shut It Down 12"
*** "If you needed more fuel to Black Milk's year, here it is. DJs gravitated to "Shut it Down" from the album, and it was a no-brainer for the second single from the smash "Popular Demand." Royce Da 5'9" and Guilty Simpson add more Motor City muscle to the "Sound the Alarm Remix," with the bonus track "Home of the Greats" rounding out another essential slab from the future of Detroit hip hop."

BLACK MILK Sound The Alarm 12"
*** From the Fat Beats debut featuring GUILTY SIMPSON.

BLACK MILK Broken Wax EP
*** "One of the hottest young producers in hip hop is also one of the hottest emcees. Exhibit A: 'Broken Wax.' 5 brand new tracks meet 2 of the joints from "Sound of the City," with guest appearances from MR. PORTER, ELZHI, T3, FAT RAY, NAMETAG, & PHAT KAT. Stay tuned for Exhibit B: "Popular Demand.'"

J DILLA Wild 12"
*** BACK IN STOCK!

J.ROCC Play This 12"
*** "Briilliantly executed record from J.Rocc of the World's Famous Beat Junkies, picking through bits from Stones Throw's "Funky 16 Corners" comp and beyond."

J.ROCC / OH NO Kashmere Remix 12"
*** "J. Rocc and Oh No take on KSB's take of Bill Withers' indelible standard "Ain't No Sunshine," and while the results vary greatly, the superior quality of each makes it difficult to decide who came out on top. J.Rocc manages to translate his energetic DJ style to a schizophrenic remix with multiple changeups (much like he did with Cold Heat and Funky 16 Corners) , and Oh No uses a smooth vocal loop to add a mellow flavor to KSB's horn-driven original (which is also included). One of Now-Again's strongest releases to date."

OTIS JACKSON JR. TRIO (MADLIB) Jewelz EP
*** "Madlib wants everyone to be ready for the forthcoming Yesterday's New Quintet album, or is it a compilation. See, YNQ is breaking up. But if this slab of vinyl is an indication, each of the band's members are off to bigger and better things, because "Jewelz" ranks at or near the top of YNQ releases. Yep, we said it."

( FULL-LENGTH LPs & CDs )
v/a CHROME CHILDREN INSTRUMENTALS 2xLP
*** "Better late than never, Stones Throw delivers the instrumentals to their smash compilation "Chrome Children." Beats from Madlib, Oh No, Dilla, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Koushik, Aloe Blacc, and more."

v/a COLD HEAT 2xLP
*** "Stones Throw subsidiary Now-Again has been dropping heat ever since its inception. "Cold Heat" compiles some of their finest tracks released thus far, and some exclusive to this compilation. Hip hop is definitely derivative of funk music, and it should come as no surprise that the leading hip hop label has their finger on the proper historical button."

*** BACK IN STOCK!

DIPLO Mad Decent Radio Vol. 1 CD
*** BACK IN STOCK!

DJ PREMIER Tribute To James Brown 2xCD
*** "Few people have a James Brown collection to match DJ Premier's. He's got live recordings, analog tapes, and almost every piece of wax James ever had anything to do with. A timeless tribute to the hardest working man in showbiz."

MONK HUGHES (MADLIB) A Tribute To Brother Weldon 2xLP
*** "With the latest installment of Yesterday's New Quintet's LP series, Madlib presents Monk Hughes & The Outer Realm's "Tribute to Brother Weldon." Featuring 12 new tracks dedicated to the forever-respected, but rarely-commended legend Weldon Irvine, all in the trademark YNQ groove-heavy free jazz style. With contributions from all of the usual spirits--Joe McDuphrey, Monk Hughes, Otis Jackson Jr, etc--and the expected extraordinarily-designed album jacket."

JAY DEE Instrumentals Vol. 1 CD JAY DEE Vintage: Unreleased Instrumentals CD
*** "Good for us. Waajeed got permission, and pulled 13 beats straight from the MPC2000 used by Jay Dee to produce countless classic tracks. None of these tracks have been released elsewhere, and it's hard to understand why not, as they represent the sound of one of the most influential producers in hip hop."

TALIB KWELI & MADLIB Liberation LP
*** BACK IN STOCK!

MADLIB Mind Fusion Vol. 3 CD
*** "Whereas the other volumes were either respectively focused on hip hop or entirely unfocused, this one is the perfect centerpiece, as it blends a little bit of the styles all in one mix. Yes!"

THES ONE Lifestyle Marketing CD
*** "Person under the stairs Thes One is dropping his first instrumental album, and it's a dandy. Taking old commercial jingles from everything from GBX boots to Grain Belt Beer, Thes plugs it all into his hardware and makes a nice piece of commercial product for you to purchase. The limited double-disc version includes a CD full of the original jingles he lifted for the album."

WAJEED The War 2xCD
*** IMPORT. Waajeed, Dilla, and Bling 47 have been working on a bubbling movement for a few years now. They have had plenty of releases over the years, but this is the first real compilation showcasing the incredible talent over in that camp. Mostly produced by Wajeed of the Platinum Pied Pipers, but also featuring production and appearances by J-Dilla, Ta'Raach, Invincible, & Tiombe Lockhart. This is that next sh!t.
