The New GRR Website

For all things GRR, you can now also check out the recently launched GRR Website: https://www.gentlemansreliefrecords.com/

Besides a full catalogue of our previous releases, the site also includes all the mixes I have released over the years, collaborations, and more! Thanks for your support as always. 

Main One - Forgotten Child 1995-1999 (Vinyl 2LP)

 


Despite releasing a well received debut album ('Birth of the Ghetto Child') in 1995, Bronx native Main One never released a follow-up... until now. 'Forgotten Child' is an incredible collection of demos, rare tracks and remixes recorded between 1995 and 1999, mostly produced by Nick Wiz and Main One's long-term producer Tic, and includes guest appearances from O.C., Chino XL, Smoothe Da Hustler and Trigger Tha Gambler. This essential release comes in a picture cover in an edition of 300 black copies and 200 color (orange vinyl) copies. A CD version will also be dropping soon! 

Young Zee - Musical Meltdown (Vinyl 2LP Reissue)

 


A long overdue vinyl re-issue of Young Zee's classic debut album 'Musical Meltdown'. Originally scheduled for release in 1996, the album features Young Zee's trademark unique flow over top-notch production from Ski, Q-Tip and KRS-One, accompanied by guest appearances from Busta Rhymes, KRS-One and the entire Outsidaz crew (Pace Won, Rah Diggah, etc.) This essential release comes (for the first time) in a picture cover in an edition of 200 black copies and 200 color (green vinyl) copies. Released in association with Dope Folks Records. 

Cop it now from the usual retailers!

RIP John Kuester AKA Kid Millions

 

I was incredibly saddened to hear about the passing of John Kuester AKA Kid Millions. One of the co-owners of Dope Folks Records, I worked with him on many projects over the years. John was always kind, generous, supportive and, above all, mad cool. He and Dope Folks provided me with a lot of inspiration about how to run a label. I will miss him a lot.

Rest In Peace John!
