"5-Elementz formed in Detroit in 1992. The group met while attending Osborn High School on 7 Mile. The original members consisted of Thyme, Proof, Mudd, Jay Dee & DJ head. They recorded the "Yester Years" EP in 1993-1994 and dropped it on Cassette in 1996. There was also a very limited Test Pressing version. We have had access to the original studio DATs and we bring to you the original EP plus an extra, previously unreleased Jay Dee heater."

"Celebrating the 20 year anniversary of Overcast, the full album is remastered and available on vinyl for the first time!

20 years ago, while building a buzz on the Twin Cities scene playing countless local shows, recording demos and endless freestyle sessions, Atmosphere released a milestone record that set the trajectory for a career that is still evolving and pushing forward to this day.

In the late 90's, for a brand new independent label, pressing a vinyl LP was an expensive venture. At the time, the focus of the young entrepreneurs was set more on expanding the foundation they had built in Minneapolis, so they invested their time and money into networking nationally by doing shows, MC/DJ battles, and sometimes traveling from coast to coast just to give CDs away, all in order to grow the fanbase. As a result of an ambitious plan gone right, Overcast will now, finally, see its way onto vinyl!

For this special 20-year anniversary vinyl edition, all the original recording sessions were transferred from the reel-to-reel tapes and mixed especially for vinyl by Joe Mabbot, long-time engineer for Atmosphere, dating back to God Loves Ugly. The album is pressed on triple white color vinyl and packaged in a custom built case-wrapped and debossed jacket, and includes three previously unreleased songs from the original reel-to-reel tapes!"

"With such great heats put out at the time, we had to put out this 90s unreleased album called Liberal Art, produced by Madsol Desar & Dialek. Soulful samples, jazzy &melodic samples, but also inspired by classical music with crazy dope strings samples, this album has a lot of incredible and different kind of prods but they all always on point/DOPE boom Bap and brings different sort of vibes, you def cant sleep on this Classic Hip Hop Album from Boston, this is HISTORY. On the lyrics side, Laster brings his best, serious topics, dope flows and poetry, zodiac expert in action"
