Sunz Of Man - Da Last Future - 2026

 

2xLP - 2026 - Back2DaSource Records 

" The legacy of Sunz Of Man returns in a powerful and carefully restored form with Da Last Future, a release that bridges past and present in a way never heard before. This project is more than just an album, it’s a reconstruction of history, offering listeners a renewed perspective on some of the group’s most essential material.

Before they were known as Sunz Of Man, the group originally operated under the name Da Last Future. In 1994, they released their very first 12” single, marking the beginning of their journey. At that time, the foundation of the crew was formed by four core emcees: Hell Razah, Prodigal Sunn, 7th Ambassador, and Killah Priest, alongside producer Su-Preme. As the group evolved into Sunz Of Man, the lineup expanded with the addition of 60 Second Assassin (notably Ol' Dirty Bastard’s cousin) and Shabazz the Disciple, further shaping their identity.

By 1995, the group had secured a deal with Wu-Tang/Priority Records, solidifying their place within the extended Wu-Tang movement. Their rise culminated in the release of The Last Shall Be First in 1998, a landmark album that reached No. 20 on the Billboard 200 and No. 7 on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart, cementing their legacy in hip-hop history.

A number of tracks featured on Da Last Future originate from The First Testament, but they appear here in reworked versions, presented with entirely new mixes. Several mid-90s unreleased tracks also appear on the project, further enriching this deep dive into the group’s early era. For the first time ever, these recordings are available in their highest possible quality, the result of an extensive audio restoration process carried out by multiple skilled sound engineers. Every effort has been made to preserve the original spirit while elevating the sound to modern standards.

The outcome is nothing less than the best, cleanest, and most refined Sunz Of Man material ever released on a physical format, delivering a listening experience that does justice to the group’s enduring influence and raw artistry." - courtesy of Back2DaSource Records

The Colored Section - Bomb M.C. - 1998

2xLP+7" - 2026 - 90's Tapes / HHV

" Originally released in 1998, "Bomb M.C." is the only full-length album by Los Angeles underground outfit The Colored Section. Comprised of Coke, Che'ski and DJ Homicide, the group crafted a distinctive sound that stood apart from the dominant trends of the era. Rooted in classic boom-bap yet enriched with off-kilter rhythms, dusty samples and understated grooves, the album balances raw energy with remarkable musical sophistication. 

Much of the production was handled by Coke, formerly associated with Mad Kap, whose ear for stripped-back yet deeply effective beats gives the record its unique identity. Rather than chasing radio appeal, The Colored Section embraced originality, sharp lyricism and a laid-back West Coast sensibility that resonated strongly within the independent Hip-Hop community. 

Although "Bomb M.C." remained largely overlooked upon its release, it gradually earned cult status among collectors and underground rap enthusiasts. Today, it is celebrated as one of the most underrated releases of its time - an album that captures the creativity and adventurous spirit of late-1990s independent hip-hop. " - courtesy of 90's Tapes

Rickochet - Another Dead Nigga in The Street - 1994

12" - 1994  - Rickochet Records 

"Another Dead Nigga in The Street / You Can Get The Finger" is a 12" released by the Jamaica Queens-based group Rickochet in 1994. The group was comprised of 5 members : Rick Strickland, F. Robinsons, J. Bryant, D. West and Gold Finger. 

The wax came out on Rickochet Records, a record label founded in 1992 by Rick Strickland. This is their second 12" and it features the lead single "Another Dead Nigga in The Street" on the A-side, available in its original, radio edit and instrumental versions, and "You Can Get The Finger" on the B-side, available in its original, Off The Head Flow and instrumental versions. All the productions were handled by Gold Finger. 

Regarding "Another Dead Nigga in The Street", you'll notice that the song title for the radio version differs from the original. For the radio version "Another Dead Nigga in the Street" was changed to "Another Dead Brother in the Street". 

I don't know why but this record was their last record unfortunately. It's cheap and it remains really easy to find, so don't hesitate to add it for your record collection.

The Outfit - The Soundtrack To Life - 2026

2xLP - 2026 - 90's Tapes / HHV 

" Recorded between 1995-1999 and originally released in 1999, "The Soundtrack To Life" stands as the sole full-length statement by The Outfit, an underground hip-hop collective from Delaware. At a time when commercial rap increasingly dominated the charts, the group embraced a more thoughtful and organic approach rooted in classic boom-bap traditions. Soulful samples, warm jazz-infused production and introspective lyricism define the album's character, offering an alternative to the glossy sound of the era. 

Far from seeking mainstream attention, The Outfit focused on authenticity and substance. "The Soundtrack To Life" unfolds like a personal diary, touching on everyday experiences, aspirations and social observations with sincerity and maturity. Although the record never achieved widespread commercial success, it has earned respect among collectors and fans of mid-to-late-1990s independent Hip-Hop. More than two decades after its release, the album remains a hidden gem and a testament to an era when craftsmanship and message mattered as much as style. " - courtesy of 90's Tapes

Available in a limited run on 2LP (350 copies), CD in jewel case (300 copies), MC (100 copies). Includes 5 bonus songs, 4 of them are from their 12" released in 1997 on Oblique Recordings Inc.

Mr. Ruckuz - The Verdict 1998-2026

 

LP - 2026 - Most Wanted Records 

Most Wanted Records is back with a nice reissue of the excellent Mr Ruckuz 's The Verdict EP, originally released in 1998 on Madd Versatile Records. 

"Originally released in 1998, "The Verdict" stands as one of Baltimore's most overlooked underground rap records. Issued in extremely limited quantities and originally released on vinyl without artwork, the record quickly disappeared into the hands of a small circle of collectors and dedicated underground hip-hop enthusiasts. 

More than twenty-five years later, Most Wanted Records is proud to bring this rare underground gem back to wax in a carefully crafted collector's edition.

The audio has been meticulously remastered by Milian Mastering, preserving the raw character and atmosphere of the original release while enhancing the overall listening experience for vinyl enthusiasts.

This edition also includes an exclusive bonus track, unavailable on the original pressing.

For the first time ever, The Verdict is presented with a complete artwork package designed by Prillustrationz, giving this long-overlooked release the presentation it has always deserved.

A highly desirable addition for collectors of rare 90s hip-hop, independent rap, and limited vinyl editions. Pressed on premium 180-gram vinyl!" - courtesy of Most Wanted Records

Available on standard Black vinyl (300 copies), Red/Black vinyl (200 copies), Test Press (5 copies), and also on CD.
