DK Presents Atlantic Rap Vol. 1 - 2023

Nova Scotian-based producer DK releases the first volume of his Atlantic Rap Series.

"Atlantic Rap Vol.1 is the first volume of DK’s forthcoming compilation, a three-volume showcase of brilliant lyricists from North America’s underground that bumps to the sounds of DK’s knocking and imaginative boom-bap. Enlisting MCs from rap capitals like New York (UFO Fev, Wais P), Detroit (Frank Nitt, Phat Kat, E-Fav), and Canada (Ghettosocks, Saukrates), DK scores their vivid verses with his fusion of crackling samples, analog synths, and progressive instrumentation. Each beat flattens time, conjuring the warmth and grit of ’90s production while moving into the future with lush musicality. DK pairs every suite with the perfect narrator, established and rising rappers who deliver grimy street memoirs and intricate verbal assaults. Atlantic Rap Vol. 1 is a highlight reel from the long-celebrated and the next to blow up."

Truth - For All Intents and Purposes - 2022

LP - 2021/ 2022 - Animal Military Records / Get On Down  

"Truth continues his verbal onslaught with his 3rd album, “For All Intents and Purposes.” Truth teams up with the legendary production duo Da Beatminerz (Mr. Walt and DJ Evil Dee) (who also featured production on Truth’s 1st two LP’s - From Ashes to Kingdom Come [2016] and The Fight for Survival [2019]) , who produce the entirety of the LP. Truth’s sound remains consistent once again throughout giving the listener banger after banger. With lines, like “You get O love like the back of a Cleveland jersey” and “Violently respond conflict endorsing pen scorching / I give even the greatest a problem like Ken Norton,” further displays Truth’s verbal dexterity matched perfectly to Beatminerz production.

The Queens emcee displays rugged lyrical content, heavily scratched based hooks (DJ JS-1, DJ Evil Dee and PF Cuttin), over incredible Beatminerz Boombap! The album features Tragedy Khadafi, Ras Kass, Large Professor, Treach and Joe Fatal. Longtime collaborator PF Cuttin mixed and mastered the album. Truth is looking to leave his mark giving true hip hop heads exactly want they want!

This is a must get LP for true Hip Hop heads! Just like Truth’s first two albums, it definitely does not disappoint!" - courtesy of Get On Down

Venom - Ruff N Tuff - 2017

CD - 2017 - Marvel Records

"Step down into this hidden parking lot, only the trucks lights allow you to see your ennemi. You are alone with no protection. A tight crowd is packed in circle around you, they got knives & chains, your influences are here too, waiting for any mistake. Your opponent will use the 

deadliest weapons to win, you'll have to show no mercy without losing your heart. 

One man, arrived from a foreign land with his Ensoniq ASR-X machine, a challenger ready for action, with something to prove, will have to defeat the toughest opponents to win this music tournament. Especially the worst of all : Himself. 

Detroit, Buffalo, Atlanta, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Los Angeles, New Jersey, some of the best music fighters come from every state to this showdown : Camp Lo, M E D (Stone Throw), Rah Digga, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Ras Kass, Conway, The Legion, Shadez Of Brooklyn, Marquee, Skanks & Gstats (of Bankai Fam), F.O.D, Nolan The Ninja and the talented singer Stacy Epps. 

“Ruff N Tuff” is the debut album of the Marvel Records artist VENOM, producer/remixer, half of NINJUSTICE (with Kyo Itachi), best known for his productions on Blaq Poet album "The Most Dangerous" and Marquee "Femme Fatale" + a bunch of underground bangers for Bankai Fam, Dirt Platoon... 

Not a compilation but a true producer album as Eric Sermon “Insomnia” or Pete Rock’s “Soul Survivor” , an "action album" with a deep concept that sounds like no other. With uncanny production skills, the Beat Warrior VENOM use music as a weapon, he punched the pads with brass knuckles and pushed his machines to their last limits. He programmed hard hitting drums and layered samples as bricks, then broke it with knife-hand scratches and ultimately let the world knows his productions strenght... 

Here you have an authentic Marvel Records album with the usual cover hand-painted by the legendary Melki (who did classic movies cover in the 80's such as Nightmare On Elm Street, Creepshow, Buckaroo Banzai, etc..). 

Only one question remains : Are you tuff enuff? "
