DK Presents Atlantic Rap Vol. 1 LP - 2024

Originally released digitally in November 2023, the first volume of the Atlantic Rap Series dropped by the Nova Scotian-based producer DK is now available on vinyl with the help of De Rap Winckel Records. 

"Atlantic Rap Vol.1 is the first volume of DK’s forthcoming compilation, a three-volume showcase of brilliant lyricists from North America’s underground that bumps to the sounds of DK’s knocking and imaginative boom-bap. Enlisting MCs from rap capitals like New York (UFO Fev, Wais P), Detroit (Frank Nitt, Phat Kat, E-Fav), and Canada (Ghettosocks, Saukrates), DK scores their vivid verses with his fusion of crackling samples, analog synths, and progressive instrumentation. Each beat flattens time, conjuring the warmth and grit of ’90s production while moving into the future with lush musicality. DK pairs every suite with the perfect narrator, established and rising rappers who deliver grimy street memoirs and intricate verbal assaults. Atlantic Rap Vol. 1 is a highlight reel from the long-celebrated and the next to blow up."

Superscientifiku - Syntax + Semantics EP - 1999

 

EP - 1999 - Flyphonic Phonogram 

Here is another very hard to find EP coming from Europe which is considered as a must have. It was released in 1999 by the Swedish group Superscientifiku (a.k.a Supersci) on Flyphonic Phonogram.

The A-side of the 12" is composed of the tracks "Supersciendifficult", "Syntax + Semantics", "Flip Fast" featuring Kashal-Tee and "Tremendous Three" featuring Phonetik. All the instrumental versions are on the B-side and all the productions are managed by the production team Flyphonic (Erik L, Obscure & Arka).

"Flip Fast" is definitely the best track of the 12" in my opinion. If you're looking for the sample used for the instrumental, you need to dig this album entitled "Nybyggarland" released in 1973 by the Swedish jazz composer Berndt Egerbladh.

Dan-E-O - Vigilante - 2024

 

LP - 2024 - URBNET  

Veteran MC Dan-E-O from Toronto, Canada delivers his brand new solo album "Vigilante". This is a 12-track album produced by Big Sproxx, Charisma a.k.a. Skizzz (Monolith) and S-Ky The Cookinjax. The guests are Masta Ace, Saukrates, D-Sisive, Quake Matthews, J Shiltz and more...

" Dan-e-o’s hard-hitting 6th solo album “Vigilante” is equal parts lyricism clinic and seething social commentary. From the graphic novel album cover to the unapologetic lyrical content, “Vigilante” harshly critiques social media misuse, gun violence, anti-black racism, self-hatred, jealousy and self-doubt. Inspired by both the “Dexter” and “Death Note” series, Dan-e-o’s new album title represents his commitment to “kill” all of the negativity mentioned above.

Well-known for his classic debut 1996 single, “Dear Hip Hop”, Dan-e-o is every bit as punchline-heavy as you would expect on “Vigilante”. The album is also the veteran Toronto lyricist’s most provocative project to date. Taking zero bars lightly and sparing no feelings, Dan calls out such personalities as Kanye West, Donald Trump and Candace Owens while condemning Fox News, murderous police officers and the Ku Klux Klan. He even finds time to address a past toxic relationship while not missing a beat tearing into talentless rappers.

The soundscape of “Vigilante” can best be described as “heavy neck-snapping boom bap”. The head-nodders are supplied by Toronto’s Big Sproxx (Freedom Writers) and frequent collaborator Charisma a.k.a. Skizzz (Monolith) as well as Japan’s S-KY THE COOKINJAX. With an impressive list of featured guests including such legendary artists as Masta Ace, Saukrates and even comedy superstar, Russell Peters, Dan-e-o has created a recipe for hip-hop perfection. “These are the best 12 songs in the history of my catalogue,” insists Dan-e-o, “Period.” " - courtesy of URBNET
