Yah Supreme - A Different Kinda Rapper - 2026

2026 - 90's Tapes / HHV

" 'A Different Kinda Rapper' is the definitive collection of Brooklyn MC Yah Supreme, an artist whose name has long remained one of New York's best-kept underground secrets. Far removed from commercial trends, Yah Supreme and longtime producer Cave Precise crafted a distinctive sound built on dusty boom-bap drums, rich jazz and soul influences, and thoughtful, progressive lyricism. The album brings together nine previously unreleased recordings dating back to 1995 alongside every official 12" release through 2000 (including all original instrumental versions). For the first time, this body of work is presented as a complete document of an overlooked creative era. 

Three of the unreleased tracks feature fellow MC Technique, while vocalist Julia Wilson adds soulful warmth to one standout recording, expanding the album's musical palette without losing its raw underground identity. Completing the authentic presentation, the artwork features original 1990s photography by James Petrozzello, with the final design created by Cors One, capturing the visual language of the golden age. 

More than an archival release, 'A Different Kinda Rapper' is a rediscovered chapter of New York underground hip-hop where jazz-inspired production, adventurous songwriting and uncompromising lyricism came together naturally. Decades later, these recordings remain as fresh, soulful and forward-thinking as ever, confirming Yah Supreme and Cave Precise as one of the era's most underrated creative partnerships." - courtesy of 90's Tapes

New Joint : Golden Section - Say Goodbye To Your Friends (Golden Section Remix)

 

Golden Section is a crew hailing from the Vancouver, British Columbia area, consisting of Moka Only, Birdapres and DJ K-Rec.  Originally formed in the late '90s, the group recently returned with "Welcome To The Agrodome", an album produced entirely by DJ K-Rec. Today's joint is the remix of "Say Goodbye To Your Friends", lifted from the project.

It's dope to see Birdapres still putting in work. I don't know how many of you remember him, but he dropped a handful of quality 12-inches with his partner DJ RKV between 1996 and 1997. Two records every underground head should own are "Checkin For Ya", released in 1997 on Taboo Records, and "Indecision / Ya Need To Quit", released in 1996 on First Imperial Recordings by R.T.A. (Runnin' The Asylum), a trio comprised of Birdapres, DJ RKV and Che Imperial. Both 12"s are prime examples of the raw, independent sound that made the Canadian underground scene so special during the mid '90s.

DJ Madsol Desar & Krumbsnatcha - On The Block For A Minute (1997-2000)

 

EP - 2026 - HHE

"It all started back in 1987 when Madsol formed a rap duo with the late, great Dialek. They recorded together all the way up until 1995 building a catalog of music that laid the foundation for their lasting legacy in East Coast hip-hop. In 1997, Madsol and Dialek established the production team Knighz Of Muzik, creating countless underground classics for artists including Ed O.G, Scientifik, Concrete Click, Laster, D. Auguste, Da F.E.N.C.E. Men, and many others.

Later in 1997, Madsol relocated to New York City to fully pursue his music career as a producer, DJ, and recording artist. That same year, he founded Hi-Rise Records, one of New York City's premier independent underground hip-hop labels. Bridging the gap between the streets and the industry, Hi-Rise Records became known for its authentic lyricism and uncompromising production. The label released the first official recording by Immortal Technique and went on to release acclaimed underground recordings featuring Talib Kweli, Esoteric, The Last Emperor, and other influential artists.

Hip-Hop Enterprise now proudly presents a project with previously unreleased recordings from DJ Madsol Desar and Krumbsnatcha. We have one track recorded in 1997 at D&D Studios Brooklyn, NY and we have 4 tracks recorded in 2000 at Frame of Art Studios also located in Brooklyn, NY. On the B-Side, we will have all the instrumentals of the project. The timeless production of Madsol combined with vintage Krumb Snatcha from the Snatcha Season era is a definite winner!" - courtesy of Hip Hop Enterprise
