New Vinyl Releases (G-Dep, Trends of Culture, Shorty Long)

 


G-Dep - Head Over Wheels (1996-1998)
One of the finest MCs of his generation, G.Dep's debut single 'Head Over Wheels' is a stone-cold classic of the independent era. This new compilation gathers G.Dep's early work including 'Head Over Wheels' alongside 8 other rare and obscure cuts recorded between 1996 and 1998, all restored and remastered for your listening pleasure. This essential release comes in a picture cover in an edition of 300 black copies and 200 color (sky blue) copies.

Trends Of Culture - The Trend Files (1992-1998)
The underrated NY trio of Nastee, Grapevine and M.O.L. return with a compilation of rare and unreleased tracks spanning from their 1992 demo tape through to their final vinyl single in 1998. Including guest appearances from Lord Finesse, Channel Live, Pudgee and more. This essential 2LP release comes in a picture cover in an edition of 300 black copies - grab one before they are gone!

Trends of Culture - When Trend Men Come
A much-requested reissue of 'When Trend Men Come', the sophomore album from Trends of Culture. Originally due for release in 1995, this lost classic has aged like fine wine and includes guest appearances from Method Man and Treach. Featuring the original 11 track album PLUS 3 bonus demo tracks from the same era (the demos are pretty rough but have been restored as best as possible). The 2LP release comes on black vinyl in a full picture cover, limited to 300 copies.

Mike Smooth Presents Shorty Long - South Boogie
Shout out to Hip Hop Enterprise who we recently worked with on this vinyl compilation showcasing the work of the underrated South Bronx MC Shorty Long, best known for his 1994 single 'Shorty'z Doin His Own Thang'. This release features 18 tracks highlighting Shorty's unique lyricism and top-notch rugged production from his DITC collaborators Showbiz, Buckwild, Lord Finesse, Mike Smooth and Ahmed.
