AZ - The Memphis Sessions
Fresh off his critically-acclaimed album "The Format", AZ returns once again to bless his fans with a unique offering entitled "The Memphis Sessions", a two disc set where each disc stands on its own. Disc One combines AZ's effortless flow with some of the most funky and soulful tracks you'll come across. The second disc is comprised of all new, never released AZ cuts that sound as good on the streets as they do in the club. The result is pure start to finish listening pleasure for the audience as AZ's most popular acapellas are blended with beats reminiscent of 1970's Memphis. The success of Guru's "Jazzmatazz" albums proves that combining Hip Hop with other genres of music is a cutting-edge theme that's bound to be more common in the future.
Raekwon - "House Of Wax: The Vatican Mixtape Volume III"
The material on "House Of Wax" is older (that vintage Wu/RZA sound), and has been previously never heard or released. Rae hand picked these joints, 31 tracks strong and purposely left untitled... featuring RZA production and guest shots from Wu Tang brethren, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, Old Dirty Bastard, Masta Killa as well as Hip Hop royalty Havoc (Mobb Deep), Fat Joe & Smif N' Wessun. As long as Rae sustains such momentum and relies on the RZA for the majority of "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II", he could have another classic album in the books. Until then, "House Of Wax" is a nice appetizer until The Chef cooks up his main course.
J. Dilla - "Jay Deelicious: Originals, Remixes, & Rarities"
Jay Dee, aka J Dilla, emerged as a Hip Hop producer to be reckoned with in 1995 when his name was attached to the first single from The Pharcyde's eagerly anticipated sophomore album Labcabincalifornia". Drop the needle on his first Pharcyde production "Runnin" and you have the launch point of a producer's career that mesmerized, titillated and expanded the domes of Hip Hop fans for the next decade. "Jay Deelicious: Originals, Remixes & Rarities" documents Jay Dilla's early production on Delicious Vinyl.
Working closely with The Pharcyde and Michael "Mike Floss" Ross, (Delicious Vinyl's founder), Jay Dee was instrumental in keeping The Pharcyde's second album as ear poppin' and bugged as their maiden classic "Bizarre Ride To The Pharcyde", stepping up big time after the group parted ways with "Bizarre" producer J-Swift. In addition to original productions and remixes for "Labcabin", Jay Dee skillfully worked with the label on incredible mixes for the Brand New Heavies, as well as unreleased remixes for former BNH singer, N'Dea Davenport. From the jazzed out Rhodes syncopation of "Sometimes" featuring Q-Tip, to the crazy cutting up of "Got To Give It Up" for "Saturday Night" featuring Mos Def, Jay Dee shows there's no tempo he can't freak on some otherworldly jazzed up funk tip. So put on your head phones and take a trip into the early work of a Hip Hop master. Umm Umm JayDEElicous! In respect to Dilla's legacy, all proceeds from the sale of this release will go to Maureen (Ma Dukes) Yancy.
Nashawn - "Mass Destruction"
When one of the Hip Hop's most legendary names co-signs a fellow rapper, you know that emcee has to be special. Even though they are cousins, Nas and Nashawn are also peers in the Rap game who have appeared together on numerous tracks. In fact, Nas was so impressed with his cousin's skills on the mic that he enlisted Nashawn's help on his "Nastradamous" and "Stillmatic" albums. Now it's time for Nashawn to step out and create his own legend. "Mass Destruction" is the new effort that Nashawn hopes will help him do it. This current Bravehearts member blesses the masses with 20 brand new tracks. Shying away from the current trend of "a million" guest appearances, Nashawn lets his skills speak for themselves. He is joined by his cousins Nas and Jungle on two tracks but reps the rest by himself. If you're a fan of the Queensbridge sound that Nas, Mobb Deep, Cormega, Tragedy, Capone, and Lakey The Kid have made famous, then you'll definitely be a fan of Nashawn.
Frank N Dank - "European Vacation" DVD+CD
In November of 2005, Europe was exposed to one of the greatest shows to ever hit the continent's soil. The J Dilla tour landed featuring none other than Frank N Dank and DJ Rhettmatic, and it was nothing but mass hysteria from beginning to end. Blunts, stunts, jokes, good music and history in the making was what went down. Witness an exclusive behind the scenes look at what it's like going on the road with these artists, which would end up being the last time J Dilla would grace fans with his presence. Hear the music and feel the vibe as we take you on a journey to the land where Hip Hop is alive and well. Welcome to Frank N Dank and J Dilla's "European Vacation". Included with the DVD are three music videos (for "What Up", "MCA" and "Nice 2 Meet You") and a bonus CD that has eight brand new FND tracks.
