Emskee X MiLKCRATE - The Dumb Bummer - 2024
Brand new 7-Track EP delivered by Emskee and MiLKCRATE crew. It features Tone Spliff, Mista Sinista and DJ Jon Doe.
Heavy Metal Konnect - Yeah Yeah! - 1998
12" - 1998 - Southpaw Records
Here is the first and only 12" released by HMK a.k.a Heavy Metal Konnect. It came out on Southpaw Records in 1998. HMK was a group from Canarsie, Brooklyn comprised of Willi Baize, Reeks, Sunny Bo, Capital Show & Dillinger.
No more info about those cats... all I know is that Lorenzo "Breadwinna" Hightower from Brooklyn, who was the manager and the executive producer, had a distribution deal with Southpaw Records so he put out the record. Southpaw Records was a small indie record label based in Los Angeles which was managed by Orlando Aguillen. Orlando Aguillen began his career DJing for Lyor Cohen in Los Angeles, prior to Cohen’s relocation to New York to run Def Jam Records. He went on to serve as VP of A&R at Delicious Vinyl. Lorenzo Hightower declared in a recent talk that HMK was a great group that got overlooked and never really got a chance. The single didn’t pick as expected so the deal never transformed into anything unfortunately.

Thunder Jam Alliance - Underground Hip Hop Power Move 1
EP - 2024 - Chopped Herring Records
3 years ago, I had the chance to talk with Tacoma-based producer DJ Shaggy C and I brought some details/infos about the Thunder Jam Alliance crew. Today, their unreleased material is seeing the light of day with the help of my man Bob Lipitch and Chopped Herring Records. Here is the Volume 1, Enjoy Fellas !
"Here we have a STUNNING 10 tracker from Tacoma-based producer DJ Shaggy C & his extended crew of different acts collectively known as Thunder Jam Alliance. There is loads of info in the biography/interview but what you really need to hear are the snippets.
A small number of the TJA demos are floating around on the net courtesy of a variety of demo tape collectors but nothing has been formally released, so here is an introduction to this mid-90s Tacoma crew's output. And hot damn, is this stuff special...
Big shout out to my man Hakan Dougpark for the connect and Unikone for his posts on the excellent Hip Hop The Golden Era Blog - 1L " - courtesy of Chopped Herring Records
Available on Black vinyl in trad Herring sticker jacket (300 copies) & on White Label in the spectacular season-only jackets designed by Swerve-One (50 copies)
