"'Goodbye, Sticky Rice is the funniest, messiest, most honest, nastiest, non-stop going away party I can possibly throw. Everyone's invited, but bring a toothbrush. I'm gonna miss ya'll,' says rap legend Lyrics Born about releasing his final album on his own imprint, Mobile Home Recordings. Deciding to shut the door on his notable music career to explore other entertainment realms, Lyrics Born leaves a big void in his wake. Leaving behind his musical career that stretches over three decades from his start as part of the iconic Northern California hip hop collectives SoleSides and Quannum Projects in the '90s to his solo joints in the '00s and onward. Goodbye, Sticky Rice is his final musical farewell. Featuring the bass-heavy, funky focus track 'Can We Still Be Friends,' Lyrics Born describes the song as 'Dedicated to everyone caught in that messy gray area while crossfading from a relationship into a friendship.' Lyrics Born is an entrepreneur who has expanded his realms out from music to mediums like film, he also launched a cooking series 'Dinner in Place' on YouTube that has been a runaway hit. Crowned as the Silver Winner in the 'Food & Beverage -- Online' category, it is proving to be a very exciting prospect in his future. Lyrics Born began his career in the late '90s as an important part of the intensely influential Bay Area hip hop collective Quannum Projects that spawned DJ Shadow, Blackalicious, Lifesavas and Latyrx, of which he was half with Lateef the Truthspeaker, Lyrics Born broke countless 'first' barriers as the first Asian-American solo rapper to perform at Lollapalooza, Coachella, release a greatest hits record, to name a few firsts. Going out with a bang on the new album and reflecting back on his incredible music career, Lyrics Born concludes, 'I'm gonna take an indefinite hiatus from releasing albums,' he says contentedly. 'Goodbye, Sticky Rice will be my 16th. I think that's enough for now.'"

"While it remains a remarkable achievement, Mavi's breakthrough debut album Let The Sun Talk was the work of an artist still coming into his own, recorded when the gifted emcee was a teenager attending Howard University. After touring with Jack Harlow and working with artists like Earl Sweatshirt and Pink Siifu, the Charlotte, North Carolina wordsmith returned three years later with the acclaimed follow-up Laughing So Hard, It Hurts, an emotional meditation on life's complex duality. Embedding his dense flows within lush instrumentation and stuttering percussion, Mavi unearthed new lyrical depth on the album, navigating through joy and sorrow, grief and hope, pain and healing. While many artists have struggled to match the heights of a beloved debut, Laughing So Hard, It Hurts proved that Mavi would only continue to elevate his virtuosic self-expression with each new release. Eloquently cascading rhymes reveal an artist searching for truth through a vast scope of thought, floating atop serene production from Monte Booker, Dlyvinci, Ovrkast, and more. After very limited initial pressings, this classic 2022 collection is now receiving its most extensive vinyl release to date."

"Rakim is an American rapper best known as one half of the legendary rap duo Eric B. & Rakim. Rakim is considered a transformative figure in hip hop for raising the bar for MC technique higher than it had ever been. Rakim helped to pioneer the use of internal rhymes and multisyllabic rhymes, and he was among the first to demonstrate the possibilities of sitting down to write intricately crafted lyrics packed with clever word choices and metaphors rather than the more improvisational styles and simpler rhyme patterns that predominated before him. Big Ghost is an anonymous online personality, hip hop writer and blogger, and music producer. He was once best known for his witty writing style and satirical humor on his earlier hip hop album reviews and blog posts. Big Ghost began as a parody of Wu Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah, which many believed to be Ghostface himself. In late 2015, Big Ghost branched out into music production, releasing a free project with production being credited solely to Big Ghost Ltd."

"In the mid-to-late '90s, Southern hip-hop was bubbling up in Atlanta with Outkast, Rap-A-Lot out of Houston, Three 6 Mafia out of Memphis, and Master P's No Limit out of New Orleans. By the early 2000s, Southern Hip-Hop was overtaking East Coast and West Coast acts with national radio and video play. The Chopped and Screwed style made popular by Houston's DJ Screw's mixtapes was also spreading nationwide. In 2005, another H-Town indie label, Swishahouse, was blowing up with a deal they had inked with Warner Music Group's resurrected Asylum label. Founded by Michael '5000' Watts and OG Ron C, Swishahouse released the single 'Still Tippin' on The Day Hell Broke Loose 2 compilation. The single, which featured Mike Jones, Paul Wall, and Slim Thug, would be added to Mike Jones' debut album Who is Mike Jones? leading to the first platinum album under Swishahouse and would set the stage for Paul Wall's major label debut. After releasing several albums and mixtapes with fellow H-Town rapper Chamillionaire, Paul Wall signed a deal with Atlantic/Asylum/Swishahouse and released the gold-certified single 'Sittin Sideways' in the summer of 2005. The People's Champ, featuring Paul Wall's famous platinum and diamond grillz on the cover, was released on September 13, 2005, debuting at #1 on the Billboard Charts. The album is an ode to the laid-back Houston culture of hustling, cars, sippin' on purple drank while listening to Chopped and Screwed music. The album had the internet goin' nuts with features from Texas contemporaries Mike Jones, Big Pokey, Bun B, as well as southern rap stars Three 6 Mafia, T.I., and Lil Wayne. The album spawned another gold single from the Kanye West-produced track 'Drive Slow' and would push sales to Platinum status."

This is what you get when an emcee/producer is fed on a diet of abstract hip-hop, Southeast Asian samples, and Taoist folklore. Together with the Clementi Sound Appreciation Club (a five-piece band of up-and-coming musicians schooled in jazz from the local scene in Singapore), Mary Sue melts samples with live instrumentation on Porcelain Shield, Paper Sword. At the core of the album is the tale of a time-traveling oracle, struggling to find meaning in the modern world-where ancient wisdom feels fragile, and truth is ever-shifting. A reinterpretation of idioms shapes its journey, where spiritual pursuits feel performative, and where the weight of the past clashes with an uncertain future. The music mirrors this tension: phrases of Gamelan music dissolve into smoky brass, spectral melodies unravel over off-kilter drums, and time bends through layered textures. Porcelain Shield, Paper Sword is both a reckoning and a dream, where echoes of the past find new life in the chaos of now. A porcelain shield shatters on impact; a paper sword folds before it cuts. It's about the constant, fragile push-and-pull between aesthetics and money, tradition and progress, meaning and spectacle. Featuring Agung Mango and Nakama.

Vivid Visions is a mind-bending journey through modern indie rap, crafted by Irish producer The Expert. Drawing inspiration from surreal dreamscapes like Twin Peaks and The Monkees' Head, the album fuses psychedelic textures with gritty lyricism from 21 guest MCs across generations and continents. The result is a kaleidoscopic soundscape, sometimes sparse and eerie, sometimes vivid and bouncy, anchored by The Expert's signature low-end thump. Whether it's Blu, Buck 65, or rising stars like AJ Suede, each voice adds a distinct shade to this sonic trip. Far more than a beat tape or compilation, Vivid Visions feels like an audio film: immersive, cinematic, and packed with personality. It's a celebration of indie rap's present and future, stitched together by one of its most imaginative producers.

Pressed on galaxy cognac colored vinyl. "Debut solo album from Orange Mound's Lil Ced produced by Lil Ced, Kingpin Skinny Pimp, and Chill Will. Lil Ced was also in the group R.A.N. with Big Syl and received the Now-Again Memphis Rap reissue treatment on Gotta Be Lyrical. The album was originally released on CD and cassette in 1997 and is now available for the first time on vinyl. This is part of Now Again Records' multi-LP series on the History of Memphis Rap, which attempts to capture Memphis and its underground rap scene as it began to produce some of the most distinctive music of the 1990s. This was a unique hip-hop strain -- visceral and often vicious. It was a local, lo-fi, cassette-tape-based movement -- yet it went on to change the course of rap music. These albums have never been pressed on vinyl -- until now. From Skinny Pimp and Carmike to Gangsta Blac and Shawty Pimp, these albums have been relegated to the proverbial bins of history and bootlegged, with unofficial copies still fetching top dollar on the secondary market. These albums were all licensed directly from their original creators and come on limited-edition colored vinyl with artist-approved imagery for their first LP iterations. You can read the story of the Memphis Rap scene in a 12-page, oversized booklet with notes by Torii MacAdams. It captures the story of Memphis rap, starting with the city's founding and ending with an auto supply shop that sold these albums over the counter, with all points in between."

"Oh No helped shape the texture of modern independent hip-hop, introducing the world to his turbulent lyricism with the 2004 Stones Throw classic The Disrupt before establishing himself as one of the world's most dynamic beat architects. Ranging from soulful to sinister, hypnotic to chaotic, Dr. No's psychedelic production has become a vital force in hip-hop, bringing the best out of artists like Mos Def, Action Bronson, Prodigy, Murs, Dilated Peoples, Danny Brown, Elzhi, Your Old Droog, and more. The California native has also released several acclaimed sample-themed instrumental collections, mining Mediterranean psyche funk, the work of jazz icon Roy Ayers, Italian library music, rare Ethiopian grooves, and more. Now, Oh No is back with Nodega, his first vocal album in more than a decade. Conceptualized as a corner store where microphone assassins stop through to lay down their street tales, the project finds Oh No cooking up a fresh batch of wild creations as the drama unfolds. While contributing a handful of memorable verses himself, Oh No mostly focuses on crafting soundscapes for a staggering array of guests, including Logic, Ghostface Killah, Talib Kweli, Tha God Fahim, Alchemist, Guilty Simpson, Blu, Crimeapple, Rah Digga, Esoteric, Vic Spencer, Wildchild, Big Twins, and more. 'I work with some of the most dangerous emcees in the game,' he explains. 'I wanted the album to be like a hip-hop play, with all these different geniuses showing how they steal the scenes.' This concept is brought to life by music Oh No describes as a 'cinematic landscape ranging from dark stabbing pianos to melodic jazz interludes, raw gutter loops to funk grit, dirty synths to nighttime thrills.' A visceral experience elevated by immense collective talent, Nodega is a compelling one-stop shop for Oh No's expansive artistry."

"The legendary Wu-Tang Clan is among the most successful and influential groups in hip-hop history. As one of the nine original members, Masta Killa has been an important part of the Wu-Tang legacy since the group's debut in 1993. He's contributed verses to countless Wu classics ('Glaciers Of Ice,' 'Winter Warz,' 'Triumph,' 'Duel Of The Iron Mic,' 'Wu Banga 101'), released three critically acclaimed solo albums, and always remained true to the core Clan aesthetic: razor-sharp wisdom over dusty, soulful production. In 2017, Masta Killa unleashed the impressive album Loyalty Is Royalty. The memorable project boasts an impressive list of guest appearances, including Method Man, Redman, KXNG Crooked, Sean Price, RZA, GZA, Prodigy, Inspectah Deck, Cappadonna, and more. As fate would have it, two of those MCs have since passed away, making their contributions particularly special. With production handled by the likes of 9th Wonder, Illmind, P.F. Cuttin, RZA, True Master, and Dame Grease, Loyalty Is Royalty delivers the kind of classic hip-hop experience fans have come to expect from Masta Killa. After years out of print, this classic collection is now back on 2LP vinyl."

"A true innovator who elevated the art of rhyme to new levels of complexity, Myka 9 emerged in the early 1990s with influential Los Angeles collective Freestyle Fellowship. After the group sparked California's underground hip-hop movement with dazzling jazz-inflected flows on two classic albums, Myka launched an ambitious solo career, further developing his singular style while working with Talib Kweli, Cut Chemist, Prefuse 73, Busdriver, Open Mike Eagle, and more. Blu took inspiration from pioneers like Freestyle Fellowship in crafting the next generation of electric lyricism, becoming a remarkably consistent presence in the modern L.A. rap scene. The talented emcee's deep catalog includes four classics with Exile, albums produced by Evidence, Madlib, Nottz, Oh No, and more, plus collaborations with The Roots, Logic, J Dilla, Alchemist, Miguel, Kota The Friend, Roc Marciano, and others. Now, Myka 9 and Blu are joining forces for the new album God Takes Care Of Babies & Fools. 'Working with my idols is always the highest honor,' Blu explains. 'Myka is the God. He is so untouchable lyrically, and he can do it all because he has done it all.' The collection is entirely produced by Mono En Stereo, a renowned NYC beatmaker who has crafted music for De La Soul, Action Bronson, Mos Def, Your Old Droog, Homeboy Sandman, and more. With Mono's organic sampler concoctions providing an ideal canvas, Blu and Myka's rapid-fire linguistics explode into vibrant technicolor, animated by a consistent spiritual undercurrent. With an epic posse cut uniting Freestyle Fellowship and The Pharcyde plus appearances by Planet Asia, Abstract Rude, Exile, and A-F-R-O, God Takes Care Of Babies & Fools is an exhilarating collage of rap brilliance."

"Pete Rock returns with another installment of his instrumental series, banging out boom bap beats. A renowned producer lauded for his innovative production and impeccable ear, Pete Rock is widely recognized as one of the greatest and most influential hip hop producers of all time. A pioneer of fusing jazz, funk and soul into hip-hop, many sight him as laying down the blueprint for soulful production in hip-hop. He revolutionized rap production through groundbreaking studio wizardry, made remixes matter more than the original songs, established ad-libs as a standard recording asset -- the list goes on. Having worked with huge names including Run-D.M.C, Public Enemy, J Dilla and Busta Rhymes (just to name a few), Pete Rock's work as a producer has translated into over 25 million albums sold worldwide. With such huge influence as a producer, Pete's solo material serves to only further enhance his reputation as an artist and a producer. PeteStrumentals 4 adds to that legacy."

"Since his 2019 debut album Let The Sun Talk caught the attention of listeners around the globe, Mavi has become one of the leading lights of hip-hop's next generation. Subtly molding his fascinating stream of consciousness into a fluid mosaic of elaborately interlocking rhymes, the Charlotte, North Carolina emcee has gone on to amass millions of streams, tour nationally and internationally, work with artists like Earl Sweatshirt and Alchemist, and see his music championed by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, NPR, and more. These accomplishments flow from the powerful resonance of deeply personal artistry and raw poetic talent. Mavi's latest album Shadowbox is his most fully realized work to date, exploring the nuances of new experiences and perspectives within substantive layers of abstraction and metaphor. With atmospheric soundscapes illuminating the oceanic depth in Mavi's intricate lyrics, the acclaimed collection is a compelling step forward from a visionary young artist. After much anticipation, Shadowbox is now available on vinyl for the first time ever."

"After a five-year hiatus, Chuck D & Flavor Flav return to the scene with a new Public Enemy album, bringing their always insightful commentary over rugged and shapeshifting beats. From the opening diagnosis of 'Siick' all the way to the insanity of school shootings during 'March Madness,' the red, black, and green machine is back to clean up the scene."
