Mister Voodoo - Lyrical Tactics 2xLP - 2026


2xLP - 2026 - HHE

"By the mid-nineties, Mr. Voodoo had established himself in the city's underground. Coming out of Brooklyn, he was part of the WBAI Underground Railroad circle with J-Smooth, while his radio appearances and freestyles brought his voice into the wider New York scene. Natural Elements — Voodoo, L-Swift, A-Butta and the wider circle around them — were building their reputation at the same time, through records, battles, radio and live sessions. With Charlemagne behind the boards, they developed a sound of their own, while the MCs pushed their writing, delivery and technical skills in a city where the standard was high.

This was New York in the mid-nineties: WBAI and Stretch & Bobbito on the radio, crews crossing paths, new records constantly appearing, and a generation of MCs taking the craft further in their own direction. Natural Elements were right in the middle of that movement, and Voodoo's voice was one of its most distinctive.


His recordings from those years capture the breadth of that period. The 1996 "Lyrical Tactics" 12-inch — with "Lyrical Tactics," "Shine" and "Hemlock," all produced by Charlemagne — sits at the center of a much larger body of work recorded around the same time.


HHE now proudly brings you the "Lyrical Tactics LP" which compiles all that material together for the first time" - courtesy of Hip Hop Enterprise

God Complex - God Complex LP - 2026


LP - 2026 - HHE  


"Formed in the Boston area in the early 1990s, God Complex consisted of 7L (DJ/Producer), Esoteric (MC), and KARMA (MC), with Madsol (Producer/DJ) serving as an early collaborator and mentor. 7L and KARMA had already begun making beats together in high school when they connected with Esoteric through his college radio show north of Boston. Madsol helped shape the group's early sound, getting them into studio sessions and onto independent radio while producing many of their demos and earliest recordings.

Between 1993 and 1996, the group recorded a raw body of work built from dusty samples, hard drums, battle rhymes, obscure sci-fi references, and comic-book mythology—the early DNA of what was to come.


Their first and only proper 12" arrived in 1996, a split release with AOI issued by the fledgling Boston independent Brick Records. From there, 7L and Esoteric continued together, building one of hip-hop's longest-running creative partnerships, ultimately leading to CZARFACE. KARMA shifted his focus from audio to visual, designing and shaping the graphic identity of the extensive 7LES catalog—a creative relationship that continues today. Madsol continued behind the boards and decks, moving to New York and founding Hi-Rise Records.


Never conceived or realized as a proper album, these ten tracks were hand-picked by the group as an essential starting point—creative sparks that laid the foundation for a universe still expanding more than three decades later." - courtesy of Hip Hop Enterprise

ParanormL & J Rawls - P&J Project - 2026


LP - 2026 - HHE


"ParanormL and J.Rawls first linked up through an overseas label called Swamp Records, which we were both signed to in 2007. J.Rawls was scheduled for a release, and the label had planned a tour for him and his artist, Holmskillit. Due to unforeseen circumstances, they needed someone to fill in for Holmskillit, and ParanormL's name was thrown in the hat. J.Rawls was down after hearing ParanormL's latest album, and this was the start of something special.

They did a week-long run from Tokyo to Osaka and had plenty of time to get to know each other. A brother-type bond was built, along with a mutual trust in their ability to rock shows without much rehearsal. The crowds were left slayed. Their first show at Club Asia was packed to the gills, and they really showed and proved.


With their shared love for hip hop and jazz-hop, it was a no-brainer that they should make something together while on the Japan tour. They started out with just one song, "What's That?", which eventually led to twelve tracks. In 2007, they released a full P&J mixtape hosted by Rawls, which received over 100,000 downloads.


Now almost 20 years later HHE has given this album the opportunity to exist in a physical form and reach listeners again. What began as a spontaneous collaboration between two artists on tour became a body of work that has continued to find its way to people over time." - courtesy of Hip Hop Enterprise

DJ Madsol Desar & Krumbsnatcha - On The Block For A Minute (1997-2000)

 

EP - 2026 - HHE


"It all started back in 1987 when Madsol formed a rap duo with the late, great Dialek. They recorded together all the way up until 1995 building a catalog of music that laid the foundation for their lasting legacy in East Coast hip-hop. In 1997, Madsol and Dialek established the production team Knighz Of Muzik, creating countless underground classics for artists including Ed O.G, Scientifik, Concrete Click, Laster, D. Auguste, Da F.E.N.C.E. Men, and many others.

Later in 1997, Madsol relocated to New York City to fully pursue his music career as a producer, DJ, and recording artist. That same year, he founded Hi-Rise Records, one of New York City's premier independent underground hip-hop labels. Bridging the gap between the streets and the industry, Hi-Rise Records became known for its authentic lyricism and uncompromising production. The label released the first official recording by Immortal Technique and went on to release acclaimed underground recordings featuring Talib Kweli, Esoteric, The Last Emperor, and other influential artists.

Hip-Hop Enterprise now proudly presents a project with previously unreleased recordings from DJ Madsol Desar and Krumbsnatcha. We have one track recorded in 1997 at D&D Studios Brooklyn, NY and we have 4 tracks recorded in 2000 at Frame of Art Studios also located in Brooklyn, NY. On the B-Side, we will have all the instrumentals of the project. The timeless production of Madsol combined with vintage Krumb Snatcha from the Snatcha Season era is a definite winner!" - courtesy of Hip Hop Enterprise

Fortress Entertainment Compilation Vol. 1 (1994-1996) - 2026

 

LP - 2026 - HHE  

HHE makes a powerful return with a release that digs deep into the roots of underground hip-hop. In collaboration with Fortress Entertainment, this first installment marks the beginning of a series of projects that promise to unearth more hidden gems from the label’s archives.

This record stands as a true time capsule, showcasing rare and essential recordings from the mid-90s. It kicks off with the full Natural Elements EP from 1994, back when the group was still a six-man crew, featuring an early appearance from the legendary KA (RIP). 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.

MF GRIMM - Scars & Memories - 2025

 

2xLP - 2025 - HHE 


In 2005, MF Grimm released "Scars & Memories", a unique project that lies somewhere between a compilation, a personal memoir, and an act of redemption. More than just an album, it stands as a sonic testimony to a life scarred but not silenced.

MF Grimm, real name Percy Carey, isn't your typical MC. A survivor of an attempted murder, a former drug dealer, and confined to a wheelchair since 1994, he represents a darker often overlooked side of New York’s hip-hop landscape. "Scars & Memories" acts like an audio museum of his chaotic life made of rare and unreleased tracks recorded between 1990 and 2005.


In collaboration with MF Grimm, Hip-Hop Enterprise is now proud to present you a limited reissue on vinyl, CD and for the first time on tape as well. Don't Sleep Fellas! 






Available on OBI Transparant Vinyl⁠ w/ Red & Black Splatters (DRW Exclusive TBA Soon) (200 copies), Transparant Vinyl w/ Blood Splatters (100 copies), Black Vinyl⁠ (200 copies), CD (200 copies) & Cassettes⁠ (100 copies)

" Soul Kid Klik are a New York based crew that was formed by producer/rapper/Jazz musician G-Clef da Mad Komposa in the mid 90's. They were one-time Wu-Tang affiliated being signed to GZA’s imprint but the label folded after a while forcing them to take the independent route.⁠

Out of these 12, 9 will be on vinyl for the first time ever (5 solo tracks from Infamous Mr. Savage and 4 from G-Clef) in addition to 3 Goodfella Mike G tracks that appeared on his solo album.⁠ " - courtesy of HHE

Solid vs Green Meets Animal Gang LP - 2025

 

LP - 2025 - HHE  


" DJ Grazzhoppa and Smimooz put out the very first Solid vs Green album back in 1998. Their self-titled debut focused strictly on showcasing their dope beatmaking skills and turntablism. They followed it up with the "Operation Molotov" EP in 2001 and then finally "Solid Gold" in 2012 which was a remix album.

Now in 2025 we are very proud to present you a new Solid vs Green project that has been in the making for several years. Solid vs Green teamed up with the Baltimore crew "Animal Gang" and this 7-headed outfit will surely ring bells with many. Members include Jamil Honesty, Don Streat, Cayoz, Unreal, Jigsaw, Mic Handz and last but not least Senica Da Misfit (R.I.P.). HHE followers will remember him from his timeless "The Mayan Script" album we put out back in 2020. Not only was Senica a gifted poet but he was also a great actor that got several supporting roles in Netflix series and was getting increasingly more exposure. He was taken from us unexpectedly in 2021 but here you will find some of the last recordings he did gracing us with his insightful and deep storytelling.

 

Solid vs Green is exactly what Boom Bap headz want... hardcore production, killer cuts and skilled dope emcees that thrive on it. " - courtesy of Hip Hop Enterprise

Vaughn Smith - Diamondz And Pearlz - 2023




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.⁠"
