In 1995, the Canadian magazine Elements published an interview with legendary Toronto-based rapper Saukrates. Joined by his manager Chase Lover, he discussed the upcoming release of his debut album "Father Time", produced by Clark Kent, Buckwild and No I.D.
For reasons that remain unclear... though most likely related to label issues... the album was never released, a significant loss given the expectations surrounding it. Saukrates released his first single "Still Caught Up", in 1994 at the age of 17, followed a year later by "Hate Runs Deep", featuring his friend Marvel. Father Time LP was originally scheduled for release that same year. It's definitely something that I'd like to see coming out on vinyl nowadays. Here are a few tracks from the original Father Time demo tape... Enjoy!
" Originally recorded and self-released on cassette under the name Vertigo in 1995, Swells of Abstract is the debut LP by The Anonymous, stalwarts of the late 90s Los Angeles underground hip-hop scene. Formed in Philadelphia in 1993, the project brought together Cleveland-born producer Zinndeadly, emcee/producer and New York native Vesuveo, and Bay Area emcee Able. Now available on vinyl for the first time, this limited edition, complete with remastered audio, new artwork, extensive liner notes, and archival photographs, brings the album to wax more than three decades later. It is the first of their four albums together as a crew. " - courtesy of Gramofix Records

" TROUBLE is a boom bap hip-hop album by rapper Corto Pablo and producer Parental, built on a European creative connection between Switzerland (Vevey) and France (Paris), and released on Berlin-based label Krekpek.
Raw, stripped-down beats meet direct writing, grounded in everyday life, inner tension, and personal outlook. The sound is rooted in classic hip-hop and strongly echoes French 90s rap, made for head-nods with a contemporary European vibe.
The album features Hip-Hop legend Godfather Don, alongside Debonair P, La Ruse, Big Sevi, and Semprol C. " - courtesy of Krekpek Records
