Venom - Ruff N Tuff II (Behind Bars) - 2026

 

LP - 2026 - Marvel Records 

"Ruff N Tuff II" is a cinematic hip-hop album that tells the story of a producer imprisoned for the "crime" of sampling... stripped of his machine, his freedom and nearly his confidence. Set within a metaphorical and physical prison, the project explores artistic struggle, self doubt, and the long journey toward creative liberation.

Inside, he's not alone. The album brings together a powerful lineup of U.S. artists who each add their voice to this musical narrative : Rell, Teflon (M.O.P. camp), Fredro Starr (Onyx), Sauce Money, Bankai Fam, Chyna Streetz, Reef The Lost Cauze, Awon, Monica Blaire, Tash (Tha Alkaholiks) and Ca$ablanca.

More than just a collaboration between a French producer and American MCs, "Ruff N Tuff II" plays like a full length audio movie... built on unorthodox sampling, sharp scratches and diverse flows. After seven years in the making, the album reflects Venom's personal battle to break free from mental limitations and prove he could go beyond the success of the first installment.

Psyko Ward - Nine Circles Of Rek - 2026

 

2xLP - 2026 - 90's Tapes / HHV

"Psyko Ward is a Houston, Texas–based underground Hip-Hop collective formed in 1992. The conglomerate brings together three duo groups - Dark Side (D-Ology & Tabu), MaadHouse (Savere & Smokee), and Poetic Souls (GT & Red Cess) - alongside the solo artists Fliponya, Beholda’, and T-Wrekz, formerly of Funke Concepts. In 1994, the group released a 4-track demo cassette of their album "Nine Circles Of Rek", offering a first glimpse into their sound, while the full project remained unreleased for decades. Defined by razor-sharp precision, Psyko Ward’s lyrical style cuts with unmatched intensity, capturing the raw, unfiltered spirit of the underground." - courtesy of 90's Tapes

The project also includes a previously unreleased track from Nightbreed, the mythical duo formed by KA and Kev.

Further enriching the collection are an early classic from L-Swift, a hard-hitting track from the Raidermen, and an outstanding unreleased demo by female emcee Essence, also recorded in 1994.
