Wolfe D.O.M-Nation - Wolfe D.O.M-Nation - 2026



"With their self-titled debut, Wolfe D.O.M-Nation delivered nine tracks in 1996 that sit right at the intersection of raw East Coast underground and hardcore rap of the mid-’90s. Heavy drums, dark samples and stripped-down loops provide the backbone for a sound with little interest in polished edges. Produced by D.O.M., Lil’ Wolfe and Killah-White, the album remains consistently rugged and direct throughout. Tracks like “Get Raw”, “Kamakazzi”, “Shaky Ground” and “Thought Chaser” show different sides of the group, while “NY To B’more” draws the New York-to-Baltimore connection right into its title. A largely under-the-radar piece of US underground rap from a time when records like this still had to find their own way around without the internet." - courtesy of 90's Tapes



Available in a limited run on 2LP (350 copies), CD in jewel case (300 copies) & Cassette (100 copies)

APOLLO BROWN & SKYZOO - LUXURY TAX - 2026

 

LP - 2026 - Escapism Recordings 


Apollo Brown and Skyzoo return with another collaborative album entitled "Luxury Tax". It's a 14-track project that, from the very first listen, already feels like a true classic. This is one you absolutely need to grab on vinyl. These are going to sell out fast... believe me… don't sleep!

"Ambition can change your life, but it always sends a bill. For Detroit producer Apollo Brown and Brooklyn emcee Skyzoo, “Luxury Tax” examines the cost of chasing success, the price of ambition, the sacrifices behind achievement, and the consequences that come with everything you once wanted. Apollo’s soulful, cinematic production provides the backdrop, while Skyzoo brings Brooklyn perspective and razor-sharp storytelling, turning each track into a ledger of wins, losses, ambition, and consequence. Luxury isn’t always what you can afford. Sometimes, luxury is what you had to sacrifice to get there. Luxury Tax is the price of wanting more." - courtesy of Escapism Recordings



Available on vinyl (Concrete Rose w/ OBI Strip, Dirty Gold, Audemars Green, & Classic Black).

Saukrates - Father Time - 2026

 

2026 - 90's Tapes / HHV 


Holy shit… the excellent German hip-hop label 90's Tapes hits hard once again with an album that everyone has been waiting for for years... the legendary "Father Time" by Toronto-based emcee Saukrates.



 "With “Father Time”, a previously unreleased chapter from Saukrates’ early career finally becomes available as an album. The material dates back to the ’90s, when the Toronto rapper and producer was making his name in Canada’s hip-hop underground with singles like “Still Caught Up” and “Father Time”. Some of these tracks later surfaced on singles and other releases, while others remained unreleased until now. Alongside the original versions, “Father Time” includes numerous remixes, demos and bonus tracks, with appearances from Common, Masta Ace, O.C., Kardinal Offishall and Choclair. Rather than a retrospective compilation, the record offers a look at an album that never got the chance to appear as a complete body of work – and at Saukrates during a time when Toronto was still carving out its own place on the hip-hop map. " - courtesy of 90's Tapes







Available in a limited run on 2LP (350 copies), CD in jewel case (300 copies), cassette (100 copies) and digitally on all major platforms.
