Cypress Hill - Cypress Hill 30th Anniversary 2xLP - 2021

 


2xLP - 2021- Get On Down


"When Cypress Hill came with their debut self-titled album 30 years ago, they made an immediate spark that captivated the Hip Hop audience, critics, and then the world. Led by B-Real with his nasal, singsong delivery, and Sen Dog to play the perfect hypeman, Cypress Hill’s debut fueled tales of revenge, revolution, recreational drug use, gangbanging, and cultural pride. Like Public Enemy before them, the production was also a key factor in what made this debut so groundbreaking. DJ Muggs was able to craft a blueprint that would change Hip Hop production with his innovative stoned-out beats. Records like "How I Could Just Kill a Man", "Pigs", "Stoned is the Way of the Walk", and "Hand on the Pump" made this album an instant classic. Since its release, the album has won acclaim as one of Rolling Stones Essential Recordings of the 90s and Top 100 Best Rap Albums by The Source Magazine. Get On Down is proud to present one of the most influential and important hip-hop albums ever, Cypress Hill, in this special expanded 30-year anniversary limited edition 2xLP set." - courtesy of Get On Down

Lower Life Forms - The Whole Universe Is Ours - 2021


LP - 2021 - B2DS  


"Sup y'all ?! Proud to announce we got the Lower Life Forms in the house.
Zechariah Wise and DJ Dialtone formed the Lower Life Forms in 1992 in Burke Center, Virginia along with a crew of artists, producers and DJs known as Team Demolition. After recording several demos and procuring management, the duo was courted by two major label subsidiaries and in 1995, began recording their debut album, "The Whole Universe is Ours." When issues between their would be label and distributor left the duo unsigned, Wise formed the Depth Charge Recordings label and later released the 12-inch single, "Open Invitation/ Independence Day." The album was scheduled for a full release in late 1997, but was pushed back to allow for the release of a debut 12 inch by Team Demolition. That single, "Dirty Gusto," was an underground hit in the DMV and Wise and Dialtone decided to focus on their collaborative exploits with the crew leaving "The Whole Universe is Ours," unreleased. With the exception of a sparsely issued promotional cassette, the album did not make it to outside ears until 2004, when a short run of 250 cdrs was produced. This re-mastered edition features the nine original tracks in sequence along with a never before released bonus track.
It was finally time to release this heat on Vinyl and CD. Vinyl comes with Insert" - Bee Lapointe (B2DS)





Pre-Order : Vinyl (300 copies) / CD (300 copies) / Bundle

The Souled Out Bumz ‎- Chumps Pull Guns - 1994


12" - 1994 - Not On Label 


Here is a 12" dropped in 1994 by The Souled Out Bumz, a group from South Carolina founded around 1993-1994 and consisted of RedRum the Mic Assassin a.k.a Assassin Red a.k.a Chuck Nice (the rapper), DJ Shakim, DJ D-Tec, and Vern Large, producer and core member of the crew who put the plan together and got the connection with Mike Sullivan who executive produced the project. I've been in contact with Vern recently and he gave me more info about him and the group. 


Vern Large :The connection between all the members happened through College. I went to school with Brian Rock, Comedian Chris Rocks brother. Upon hearing my beats he hooked me up with Assassin Red and I already knew Shakim & D-Tec. 

I was based in Sumter/Columbia, SC at the time but I'm from Fort Bragg/Fayetteville, NC. Assassin Red was born and raised in SC, Shakim is from Queens but went to SC State University, D-Tec is from Long Island originally..."


The 12" consisted of the single "Chumps Pull Guns" available in its Radio & Original versions on the A-side, and its Accapella & Instrumental versions on the B-side. The intro of the track features Greechie Rob from North Charleston, SC. 





Vern Large : "I started producing at 15. I was influenced by those before me like Larry Smith, Marley, Hurby. Ced Gee, Kurtis Mantronik, and The Bomb Squad. Then later... Large Professor, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, Beatnuts, DITC, and the like. I was mentored by Psycho Les, The Mighty V.I.C. and Lord Finesse."

In a Shakim's interview done by Canis Phylum, Shakim declared "Vern would tell us, 'When we make it to NYC, imma bring Ya'll to Lord Finesse's house & chop it up.' We would look at him and say, 'This guy don't know Lord Finesse...' When we finally went up to record, the first stop was Lord Finesse's house and damn it, he knew Vern and we were flabbergasted!! 
Large always wanted to record in New York so we jumped in a rented Cadillac. It was 6 of us. The other two guys were Spectac & my guy Greechie Rob aka The Gullah Blade. Mike Sullivan paid for the vinyl, Vern & I directed him on where to distribute it ."


Vern Large : "The name of The Souled Out Bumz... Cal Tjader's album was the inspiration. He had an album called "Souled Out". It was originally supposed to be a group with me and another producer. We were supposed to do the producers that rap thing like The Beatnuts, but Me and the guy fell out..."


"Chumps Pull Guns" was the only 12" released by the group, and nothing came out after that because the group broke up. Shakim went on to DJ for So So Def (Jermaine Dupree, and then Bow Wow), now he DJ's for New Edition. D-Tec still DJ's and does promotions. Assassin Red just fell off the face of the earth, and Vern Large is incarcerated...



Mad Props to Vern Large, stay strong bro !
