Big Shots / Charizma and Peanut Butter Wolf / 2003

Big Shots is Charizma and Peanut Butter Wolf's first album. While the tracks for Big Shots were recorded in the early 90's while signed to the Disney owned Hollywood Basic record label, an album was never released due to artistic conflicts with the labels executives. Peanut Butter Wolf retained the tracks and released Big Shots through his label Stones Throw Records in 2003, 10 years after Charizma's death. The album's first single, entitled "My World Premiere", was originally released in 1996.

GIRLFRIENDS-GIRLFRIENDS-2009


Jerry Joiner, aka Girlfriends, hails from Pullman, Washington, bringing with him dance-y guitar and all the and all the charming indecipherable vocals you could ever hope for. It's delightful, it's local for some, it should be a nice addition to your library.

Nujabes / Mellow Beats, Friends, and Lovers / 2009

GZA / Liquid Swords / 1995

What the hell is even going on in this album. What hardcore hip hop album has a 2 min long intro ripped from a martial arts movie? What is up with that shit? Regardless, this album has some of the darkest, most hardcore lyrics and beats out there and it's a must listen if you consider yourself an uber-hipster hip hop head. Wu Tang Clan is an aquirred taste if you ask me, they are just so different from thier peers.

Daedelus / Love to Make Music To / 2008

Very experimental shit. This guy makes his music in a program called Max, which is like a "visual programming language" for music. Very interesting. Some of it is rap, some of it is complicated percussion.

Cormega / The Realness / 2001

The Realness is the debut studio album by Queensbridge rapper Cormega. Cormega rose to fame in the mid-90s as an original member of The Firm crew, along with Nas, AZ and Foxy Brown, appearing on the song "Affirmative Action" from the Nas album It Was Written. After being booted from the group, Cormega signed a record deal with Def Jam Recordings, and recorded The Testament. The album was shelved, and Cormega was dropped from label, joining LandSpeed Records for his first official release. The Realness was re-released in 2007 with The True Meaning, Cormega's second album, from 2002, in a double special-edition package.
