Hurricane - There Ain't Nuthin' Here Yours - 1996

I think the first time I heard this single "There Ain't Nuthin' Here Yours" was during an episode of the No TV Raps radio show broadcast on Radio FSK in Hamburg, Germany. Released in 1996 by Amsterdam-based rapper Hurricane a.k.a Sugacane, the track appeared on the various artists compilation album "Magic Sounds Volume 2". This track alone makes this vinyl worth getting.

 

If you're looking for more info about Hurricane, you should know that his journey truly began to take shape in 1982, when he first discovered hip-hop. Inspired by Afrika Bambaataa and the Soulsonic Force, he immersed himself in this emerging culture through breakdancing and body popping. For him, this discovery went far beyond a simple fascination with music : it was a revelation, a way of discovering himself, understanding his identity and finding his place within a community that resonated with his own history.

From 1985 onwards, he began making a name for himself on the streets of Amsterdam under the alias Busy Beat, before adopting the name Hurricane in 1988. For nearly a decade, he honed his craft on the streets, sought recognition and patiently built his reputation within the local scene. This journey reflects his deep connection to a culture he experienced from the inside, long before it opened the doors to a recording career.

The turning point came with the cassette release of "There Ain't Nuthin' Here Yours", produced by G.O., with the track remixed by Keylow. The B-side featured "With Each Evil There's a Price to Pay", featuring MD and also produced by G.O..

This independent release made a strong enough impact on the underground scene to quickly attract attention. The success of the cassette earned him a place on the second volume of the Magic Sounds vinyl compilation, his first record deal and a series of live shows and radio appearances. It was recognition that rewarded years of perseverance on the streets and within Amsterdam's hip-hop circles.

His first official single "Let' Em Know" was released on Supreme Slice Records the same year. That track isn't really my cup of tea to be honest. However, the track on the B-side, "God For All (And Every Nigguh For Himself)", is a really good one and is definitely the reason to grab this vinyl too.

Wolfe D.O.M-Nation - Wolfe D.O.M-Nation - 2026

2026 - 90's Tapes / HHV Records

"With their self-titled debut, Wolfe D.O.M-Nation delivered nine tracks in 1996 that sit right at the intersection of raw East Coast underground and hardcore rap of the mid-’90s. Heavy drums, dark samples and stripped-down loops provide the backbone for a sound with little interest in polished edges. Produced by D.O.M., Lil’ Wolfe and Killah-White, the album remains consistently rugged and direct throughout. Tracks like “Get Raw”, “Kamakazzi”, “Shaky Ground” and “Thought Chaser” show different sides of the group, while “NY To B’more” draws the New York-to-Baltimore connection right into its title. A largely under-the-radar piece of US underground rap from a time when records like this still had to find their own way around without the internet." - courtesy of 90's Tapes

Available in a limited run on 2LP (350 copies), CD in jewel case (300 copies) & Cassette (100 copies)
