Sam Krats - Culture - 2026

" Revorg Records return with a no-frills, heavy-hitting release from Sam Krats — an ambitious 22-track double album titled Culture. The project follows the critically acclaimed Culture single released in 2021, continuing Krats’ run of boom bap production paired with uncompromising lyricism. The Bristol-based producer has built a reputation for consistent, high-level collaborations and builds on this with his first LP. 

Built over 12 years with no rush and no compromise, Culture is rooted in the core elements of hip-hop — beats, rhymes, cuts, and respect for the craft. This isn’t a throwback record; it’s a continuation — linking eras, scenes, and artists who’ve stayed true to the culture. Krats’ sample-based production draws from a deep respect for the 90s era boom bap culture championed by pioneers of the art form such as Lord Finesse, Diamond D, Marley Marl and DJ Premier, but without relying on it, the album builds forward — connecting the UK and the US through a shared language of hip-hop.

Krats brings together a heavyweight line-up from across the Atlantic. US collaborators include Artifacts (featuring the late Tame One), Craig G of the legendary Juice Crew, Andre the Giant of Showbiz and AG, Ruste Juxx, Guilty Simpson, Jeru the Damaja, ED O.G. and Neek the Exotic of Main Source — a roster that speaks to the foundations of the genre. On the UK side, the album stays firmly grounded. Featuring Oliver Sudden, Big Toast, Ramson Badbonez and Gee Bag from the Revorg Records camp, alongside King Kashmere, Mysdiggi, Junior Disprol, Bubba Louis of Aspects and Retna, Culture represents the strength and depth of this mutual appreciation.

Turntable duties come courtesy of Jazz T, Sir Beans OBE, Mr Fantastic, DJ Rogue, DJ Rasp and Krats himself keeping the cuts sharp and the sound authentic throughout.

“It was key that I created a body of work which brings together my shared love of both US and UK hip hop. In the UK, we’re standing on the shoulder of giants but this album aims to showcase the breadth of talent on both sides of the pond”

— Sam Krats -

The title Culture says it plainly. "

The Professionals - Sit Back Relax / Where The Players At - 1997

12" - 1997 - Lennox Hill Records 

This record is the only release by the group The Professionals. It was released in 1997 on Lennox Hill Records and includes the singles "Sit Back Relax" and "Where The Players At", produced by Gary Salmon. The Professionals was a group formed in 1996 by three rappers (Larry Davis, Prince a.k.a. Prince of Thieves and Stress Wun a.k.a. Stress One) from Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, who were all solo artists at the time.

From Left to Right : Stress-Wun, Prince & Larry Davis

They were brought together thanks to one of the members of Junior M.A.F.I.A., Chico Delvec (RIP), who also founded the label Lennox Hill Records. An EP was supposed to be released after the 12", but unfortunately it never saw the light of day. Both tracks are really good and make this record an essential addition to your collection.

Sean Links - Chalky White - 2026

Over the years, North Carolina-based MC Sean Links  has steadily built a presence in the underground scene with a consistent output of projects. Here is his latest album entitled "Chalky White", a 10-track album fully produced by True Cipher. 

Just Ro - Make It Happen - 2026

2026 - 90's Tapes / HHV

" Originally released in 1996 on D.A.L. Records, "Make It Happen" marks Just Ro’s arrival as a distinctive voice in Chicago’s underground Hip-Hop scene. Entirely written by himself and his guests and shaped with raw, minimal production by Just Ro and Spike Rebel, the album blends introspective themes with street narratives. Featuring an early appearance by Common, it captures the spirit of independent 90s rap - honest, focused, and driven by lyrical intent. Includes all instrumentals. " - courtesy of 90's Tapes

Available in a limited run on 2LP (350 copies), CD in jewel case (300 copies), MC (100 copies) and digitally on all major platforms.
