Word. Actually, I've dug all the Hiphop shit you've done man. Keep doin your thing!
That Epidemic album is my favorite album from 2013 so far. The vinyl just shipped out a few days ago... I should have mine today (Saturday) or on Monday. I already have the CD, but nothin beats droppin the needle for the first time. Btw, UGHH sold out pretty quick. Lost Records had some copies and their sold out as well...
^All new vinyls that I’ve picked up the last few weeks from Blu, Damu the Fudgemunk, DJ Iron, Epidemic, Joey BADA$$, K-Def, Klaus Layer, Koss & El Da Sensei, MC E-Rock, Omniscence, Parts Unknown, Pete Flux & Parental, Quasimoto, Statik Selektah, Walt Sicknin’ and Wyld Bunch & DJ Brans.
And the three cd’s on the side are from Phora, Rebels To The Grain and Vintage Tux...
Re: Now Era stuff you might like (older artists and newer)
The beats are crazy if you close your eyes listening to this ep when you open them you will be in mcm gear

Not sure how the new album is cuz it hasn't leaked and I haven't seen any audio snippets anywhere, but I can only assume it'll be good based off the first two singles... and of course last years album.
As for the 45, I bought it directly from Clear Soul Forces back in July 2012... originally they only had 25 copies pressed, or so they said. haha The songs on it are on the album though so if you buy the Vinyl LP you'll have those songs. Its only the instrumental that's exclusive to the 45...

YEah i didnt buy that 45 because i was seeing much more than 25 people buying but they still had copies for sale and still said 25 available so it was looking shady to me. And then time and time was going by and heads weren't getting their copies but that may have only been overseas heads. I knew i shoulda bought one anyways. Ehh.. I'll see if i could find the LP for a fair price. Thanks.

For the diehard collector of oddities: A Peter Pan Syndrome digipak CD, 5 songs selected from my very first demos recorded in 1993-94 (I was 16 and very stiff on the mic but my beats were alright) on one of 100 CDs (with liner notes), the free digital download and bonus liner notes (PDF) on release date and one bonus CD from the J-Zone back catalog (either Boss Hog Barbarians, Gimme Dat Beat Fool or To Love A Hooker). If you have a preference with back catalog CD, specify it in the order notes. If not, a CD will be chosen at random. If you want the CD signed/personalized, request it in your order notes. Package deal limited to 100!
As of right now, only 18 more of the 100 are available for that CD Bonus Package...
New album that's pretty good from DJ Dister who's outta Berlin. The album features Artifacts, Kool G Rap, Maffew Ragazino, Skyzoo, Kool Keith, Masta Ace, KRS-One, Motion Man, Jeru The Damaja, Fashawn, A.G., Lil Dap, Torae, Lords Of The Underground and Greg Nice...

I called up DJ Premier’s Live From HeadQCourterz radio show earlier tonight and was live on-air talkin with Preem & Panch for almost 10 minutes... and Preem played me 2 second snippets of some songs from the long-awaited upcoming NYG’z album, “Hustler's Union: Local NYG’z”. Looks like Fat Beats will be puttin out the album on ALL formats... vinyl/cd/digital. Its about damn time...
And the reason I called the show this week was because on last weeks show Preem & Panch brought me up out of nowhere live on-air sayin they heard me say “fuck you ngz”. haha
