3 months after the reissue of the album "Livest Spot In The City" on 90's Tapes, Vaughn Smith is back with the help of Dust & Dope Recordings and Hip Hop Enterprise with the release of his debut album entitled "Diamondz and Pearlz" which was originally dropped on tape in 1996.
"The incredibly rare cassette-only 1996 debut of North Philly's Vaughn Smith has finally been restored on this brand new CD from Dust & Dope Recordings / Hip-Hop Enterprise. Diamondz and Pearlz is a surprisingly mature, understated and jazzy album that sounds better now than it ever has before. Working with Smith, who produced all 14 tracks himself, the original DAT masters were recovered but severely damaged, so this release was remastered by Jee Van Cleef from an original tape. Includes an 8-page booklet with an all-new, exclusive interview by Werner von Wallenrod."
Available on CD (300 copies) / Vinyl coming Soon... stay tuned !
Originally released on vinyl on Chopped Herring Records in 2022, Landlords Of The Morgue 's demos are now available on CD format with the help of Dust & Dope Recordings.
"After his previous albums with The Project Crew and Papa Chuk (both also recovered and remastered by Dust & Dope), DJ Cassanova assembled this Gravediggaz-influenced crew at the Fort Hood military base in Killeen, Texas. The members hailed from all over the country: One Son from Alabama, Dot Nice from Queens and Madd Scripts from Chicago. They came together for Welcome To the Morgue, a one-off 8-song hardcore EP in 1995 that Dust & Dope are proud to present in full for the first time ever on CD, including the D.Rebel produced "Lyrical Homicide", plus a previously unreleased bonus track by One Son "Like This Y'all."
Limited edition run of 200 replicated CDs. Booklet features liner notes by Werner von Wallenrod in interview with DJ Cassanova." - courtesy of Dust & Dope Recordings

"In celebration of its 30th Anniversary, Dust & Dope Recordings in collaboration with Hip-Hop Enterprise present Gotta Have Style, the previously unreleased album by one of Seattle's best kept secrets. Featured in one of the very first Unsigned Hype columns, this five-man crew released one 12" single and an extremely rare cassette EP in 1991, however their full length album was permanently shelved... until now. After Dust & Dope gave this banger the CD treatment it was time to take care of the vinyl headz as well! This 2xLP release features unheard, alternate recordings of the cuts from their EP, plus nine more completely unreleased, never before leaked, full-length songs. All tracks originally recorded 1989-1991, restored from their original DAT masters and expertly remastered by the legendary Earle Holder at HDQRTZ Mastering Studio." - courtesy of Hip-Hop Enterprise

"Before Papa Chuk's 1994 Pendulum Records debut, there was a previous album, a superior album, unheard until now. Produced and recorded in his hometown of Austin in 1992, The Texas Roughneck: Original Demo Sessions presents a rawer, harder hitting side of Chuk, with tighter and more dynamic production by his original partner, DJ Cassanova. Working directly with Cass, Dust & Dope Recordings have remastered his original DAT recordings to restore the complete, unreleased album on CD with five exclusive, bonus instrumental tracks and liner notes by Werner von Wallenrod in interview with DJ Cassanova himself." - courtesy of Dust & Dope Recording
300 copies only (with 4-page booklet with liner notes by Werner Von Wallenrod.)
"Forerunners in the Austin, TX Hip-Hop scene, Project Crew burned bright and fast, releasing two highly regarded independent 12" singles in 1988 before splitting apart and going their separate ways. But Dust & Dope Recordings has discovered that they actually recorded a complete, unreleased album that's never been heard until now. Each track has been carefully remastered from the DAT transfers and original demo reels that producer DJ Cassanova has preserved in his archives for well over three decades, which we now present in two collectible limited edition formats." - courtesy of Dust & Dope Recordings
