TriFe & D-Mob - Gun Town's Finest - 2026

 

2026 - 90's Tapes / HHV Records 

"TriFe & D-Mob are a hip-hop duo from the Bronx, New York, who emerged from the city’s independent underground scene in the mid-1990s. In 1996, the brothers released their collaborative album "Gun Town’s Finest" through High Wire Records. Produced by Tone in co-operation with both artists, the record embodies the raw New York rap sound of its era, built around heavy drums, dark samples and direct, uncompromising rhymes. Created outside the major-label system and far from the mainstream spotlight, the album remains firmly rooted in the aesthetics of East Coast underground hip-hop. The original vinyl pressing surfaced in limited quantities and has become a sought-after rarity among collectors over the years. Today, "Gun Town’s Finest" stands as one of those nearly forgotten independent releases that offer a distinctive glimpse into New York’s mid-’90s hip-hop underground." - courtesy of 90's Tapes 

Available in a limited run on 3LP (350 copies), 2CD in jewel case (300 copies) & Cassette (100 copies)

Demo : Blah Zae Blah - Rough N-ggas

 

Mack-A-Damien Thorne is back with his WHPK Classics and blesses us with a demo by the Chicago-based group Blah Zae Blah, recorded around 1993 I think. The group was formed in the early 90s and was comprised of Ski One a.k.a Ski the Jaz Daddy O, Vibe The Ughressah, Quasheem Bali (RIP) & DJ Mass.

The group had a deal (a wack deal) with Island Records. They recorded some material in NYC in 1993 but an album was never released unfortunately. Mack Thorne uploaded another demo by Blah Zae Blah three years ago, which I didn't blog about at the time. The song is titled "No Love Lost".

Open Eye Productions - A.T.M. - The Big Picture (Unreleased Demo)

 Patrock (of Heavy Jewelz Records) is back with some brand new unreleased demos from a group called A.T.M., an acronym for Addicted To Money, from Norfolk, VA. 

Patrock : "Here we have a solid demo tape from A.T.M. (Addicted To Money) outta Norfolk, VA, produced by Open Eye Productions. This demo contains 6 tracks, but unfortunately, no track titles or release year are mentioned. Based on the sound, the music was likely recorded between '96 and '98. I think the group consists of two guys and a lady, and they are spittin' some thug shit. It's really dope! I have zero information about them, but I can hear the names “Big Cheese“, “KP“ and “Ces“ or “Chedda“. If you have more info, please let me know. Also, if one of the group members or the producer sees this, please get in touch with me!"

Video : M-Dot ft Kore (of EMS) - All The Same - 2026

 

M-Dot teams up with Kore (of EMS) for "All The Same", the new single produced by Rawmatik, taken from M-Dot's new album "A Notebook With No Light", available now on vinyl via his Bandcamp.

Moka Only feat. MF DOOM & J DILLA - More Soup / One Time - 2026

 

7" - 2026 - FlipNJay Records 

"Being the only Canadian artists with both a MF DOOM feature and a J DILLA beat, you know we had to package these songs into one Double A Side banger!

FNJ-039 features the SixToo produced classic “More Soup” featuring MF DOOM (and an Instrumental re-make by the super producers Potatohead People) on Side A with the original version of the J DILLA produced “One Time” on Side AA. 

Selected by Moka from one of DILLA’s legendary beat tapes, the version that was released on his album was not the OG version of the song (due to sample clearance issues) meaning this release is exactly how Moka and DILLA intended the song to be (with the OG sample)!" - courtesy of FlipNJay Records
