Emma Lee M.C. & Roccwell feat. Bahamadia - Cravings & Withdrawals - (Retrogott Rmx) 7" - 2026

 

7" - 2026 - Ill Adrenaline Records 

" The underground hit single "Cravings & Withdrawals" by Emma M.C. & Roccwell featuring Gang Starr Foundation member Bahamadia (taken off the critically acclaimed mini-album "Chocolate Bars" released on Ill Adrenaline Records, 2024), gets the remix treatment by none other than legendary German MC, producer, DJ, and author Retrogott. Currently the single is a digital release with plans of a limited edition 7" vinyl release on the way.

The original track has already made massive waves in the indie hip-hop scene, topping the Hiphopgods Radio charts. Emma Lee M.C. even appeared as a guest on Roxanne Shante's "Have a Nice Day" radio show on Sirius XM/Rock the Bells Radio to further promote "Chocolate Bars" and her new book "Y'All (Not) Gon' Make Me Lose My Mind: Notes from a Hip-Hop Unicorn & Suicide Survivor".

Retrogott, known for his pivotal role in shaping Germany's hip-hop landscape, enhances the track's jazzy vibes with hard-hitting drums and a true golden era sound. While Roccwell's soulful production laid the foundation, Retrogott adds his own authentic flavor, combining vintage influences with his unique style to give "Cravings & Withdrawals" a timeless, underground feel. With this remix, "Chocolate Bars" continues to resonate with hip-hop aficionados, bridging the gap between modern and classic hip-hop sounds. " - courtesy of Ill Adrenaline Records

uMaNg & B.B.Z Darney - Monu-mEnTaL - 2025

 

LP - 2025 - Ill Adrenaline Records 

" The long awaited follow-up by uMaNg & B.B.Z Darney to their critically acclaimed 2014 label debut, The Black Rose Certificate, is finally here! This album is the undoing of the mind, the breaking down to be built-up again from scratch. It's said thoughts can become a very dangerous thing if left unguided, often leading us into a seemingly inescapable void, crippling the mind in the process. It takes deliberate, purposeful shifting through dedication and effort to rehabilitate back to form. This album is also a celebration of defying the odds, reaffirming one's identity through thought, action, and music as uMaNg conceptually & lyrically goes in as never before over B.B.Z Darney's lush, melodic, hot & cold, string-driven production. The listening of this album is not only for the enjoyment of hip-hop, reminiscent of its golden age. But, also partaking in the experience of these respective artists audibly triumphing over obstacles, hurdles, and roadblocks that may attempt to derail them from their creative path. Thus, marking such an occasion as being something that can only be truly described as "Monu-mEnTaL"."

Cosm lends the perfect sinister mood for Daniel Son and Saipher Soze to get busy on the hard-hitting joint, "Rome". Halfcut and Ghettosocks join forces for the funky boom bap banger "Leave the Bells" with DJ Cosm providing his signature scratches. On the b-side track "All or Nothing", Cosm laces a booming break that unleashes lyrical carnage from Adam Bomb, Mercules, Fortified Mind, and Halfcut. " - courtesy of Ill Adrenaline Records

LP - 2023 - Ill Adrenaline Records 

"New Jersey, Brick City hip-hop legend Beneficence and UK based producer duo Jazz Spastiks unearth a timeless treasure with the release of their collaboration album "Summer Night Sessions". With a completely jazzy street feel and slick written, soothing, intellectual lyrics the Ill Adrenaline co-founder releases his 8th full length album. Over 25 years of successfully releasing independent music, Beneficence set the bar high by using lo-fi, jazzy boom-bap sounds masterfully. Following his most successful "Stellar Mind" (2021) release accompanied with a memoir ("Concrete Soul - The Memoir & Making of Ill Adrenaline Records") of his life and music journey, the close Artifacts affiliate delivers a personal collage of authentic hip-hop music with a brilliant Jazz Spastiks backdrop. Well selected guest appearances in these "Summer Night Sessions" include Skyzoo, Saukrates, Doodlebug (of Digable Planets), Awon, El Da Sensei (of The Artifacts), J-Live, Rakaa Iriscience (of Dilated Peoples), Kid Abstrakt, Shabaam Sahdeeq, and grammy nominated R&B singer Anthony David on a CD/digital only bonus track. On the first single "Do This, Do That" feat. Awon, Beneficence flows smoothly over simple but captivating horns reminiscing about his come up on the music scene. "At the time I was seated behind Diddy and Biggie, '95 Source Awards keys to the city". "Mic Epps" displays lyricism in its finest form when Beneficence playfully pans between a reference to comedian Mike Epps and microphone episodes. "Civilize 'em with a mic check, I get funny on 'em, Mike Epps, you coming ugly imma swipe left, what we giving you is priceless, the nicest!". The musical marriage between the beautiful sounds of Jazz Spastiks and the sharp pen of Beneficence is tactfully done with rich and hypnotic bangers for hip-hop lovers with an ear for certified dopeness." - courtesy of Ill Adrenaline Records

Awon & Elements - Game Matters / Paper Off My Pager / Game Matters Remix - 2023

7" - 2023- Ill Adrenaline Records 

"The A side features "Game Matters" with head nodding soulful production highlighting Awon's raw uncut rhymes, blended together with a catchy scratch hook. Track 2, "Paper Off My Pager" combines Elements upbeat jazz infused production with Awon's vivid quick fire lyricism. Awon, "The 90s were really grimy and rigid, it was a different thought process of survival, getting money happened to be a part of that. While it sounds celebratory, Paper off my Pager is really a reflection of bad decisions on top of bad decisions that led me to rap for a living. The celebration is that I survived."

The B side features a golden age inspired Elements remix for "Game Matters" which shines a new light on Awon's braggadocio flows and showcases razor sharp cuts over melancholic jazz piano and upright bass.

Awon has racked up millions of streams and immense exposure as an independent artist, with a stellar catalogue of underground hip hop classics. He recently starred in "Underdogs", a documentary that chronicles his journey with Don't Sleep Records, the label he founded with production partner Phoniks, winning best music documentary at DTLA film festival and streaming now on Netflix. Elements production placements have seen his music covered by tastemaker publications like Lyrical Lemonade, Afropunk, Billboard magazine and NPR music. The pair work together to create a unique sound on "Game Matters" and "Paper off my Pager" available for the first time on vinyl." - courtesy of Ill Adrenaline Records

Rashad & Confidence - Desires 7" - 2019

7" - 2019 - Ill Adrenaline Records 

"Rashad & Confidence bursted onto the scene back in 2011 with their much sought after and critically acclaimed underground classic, "The Element of Surprise". Since then Rashad has been quiet while Confidence put out two more top selling albums with Edo.G/G.Dot & Born and Purpose (of Tragic Allies) along with various singles (SmooVth, Beneficence, Jaysaun, Neek The Exotic, The Legion, The Regiment, etc.). 

Eight years later, the Brooklyn/Philly duo finally reemerage with their long-awaited new single, "Desires". 

Rashad hasn't lost a step. This time around the gifted MC goes into detail the desires he has and what it takes to get there along with the obstacles he encounters, backed by Confidence's typical raw but also soulful boom-bap production. 

Hip-hop heads all around the globe have been asking for new material by Rashad & Confidence and it is a crazy coincidence that their "Desires" single drops around the same time as the brand new album by their biggest influence, Gang Starr." - Ill Adrenaline Records
