Pharmacy Presents Heavy Sedation - 1997

EP - 1997 - Pharmacy

Here is a very hard to find record released by a crew called Pharmacy. It was formed in 1995 and consisted of 5 MCs from Harlem, NYC : Layed Bak & Bad Ass who formed the rap duo Quiet Noize, Blackness, Absoloot and the crew's female representative, Taboo.

Quiet Noize : Layed Bak & Bad Ass

If you're looking for more info about how the connection happened between all the members of the group, you need to know that they all attended Richmond High School where they battled each other in the lunchroom. They also lived in neighboring projects. Quiet Noize (Bad Ass & Layed Bak) were friends with Blackness, and they met Absoloot in High School who later brought Taboo into the camp. Inspired by Wu-Tang, they collabed on their first project "Heavy Sedation". After high school Quiet Noize became an opening act for Rakim's Last platoon and took along Blackness and Absoloot both as solo artist.

"Heavy Sedation" came out in 1997. This 4-Track EP ("Antidote" featuring Taboo, Layed Bak, Absoloot & Bad Ass / "What's The Deal" featuring Bad Ass, Blackness & Absoloot / "Whateva" featuring Layed Bak, Bad Ass & Taboo / "Somthinlight" featuring Pharmacy), was fully produced by the group's longtime mentor, Garth "Da Dread" Mitchell (RIP), who had also worked with acts such as Mixed Elements and D.N.A. (Devon*Noah*Allah). Garth was Quiet Noize's producer and engineered most of their recordings, he was introduced to the rest of the group through Quiet Noize and began producing for them as well. Sadly, "Heavy Sedation" was Pharmacy's final release...

Fortunately, the EP was reissued in 2015 by my man Bob Lipitch through his excellent label, Chopped Herring Records. It's a great way to pick up these tracks along with 2 exclusive bonus joints, because, to be honest, the chances of ever finding an original pressing are pretty slim...

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

Available in a limited run on 3LP (350 copies), 2CD in jewel case (300 copies) & cassette (100 copies).
