Godfather Don - Read The Lines / Hazardous (2020)

Order Vinyl: boogiedownbarnes.bigcartel.comnes-hazardous-7

Godfather Don needs no introduction from us. His debut LP 'Hazardous' remains one of the finest examples of golden era hip-hop you are likely to come across, whilst at the same time being criminally under-appreciated upon initial release. Picking tracks from the LP to release on a 7" is fraught with danger, everyone will have their favourites, there are no weak tracks on that album. We went with these two because we like them a lot, simple as that, we hope you do too!

Godfather Don - On & On / Involuntary Excellence (2020)

Order Vinyl: boogiedownbarnes.bigcartel.comvoluntary-excellence-7

Godfather Don needs no introduction from us. His debut LP 'Hazardous' remains one of the finest examples of golden era hip-hop you are likely to come across, whilst at the same time being criminally under-appreciated upon initial release. 'On & On' was slated to be the first single from that album but it never materialised, maybe Select were too preoccupied pushing Kid N Play and Chubb Rock at the time. As a side-note 'On & On' is also Mr Krum's favourite cut on the LP, as if we needed another reason to give it the long overdue single treatment. On the flipside you'll find another banger from the Hazardous LP, the aptly named 'Involuntary Excellence'. What more could you ask for on 7"s of wax... essential!

Social Deviantz - Essential Mental Nutrients (1996 / 2019)

Order: boogiedownbarnes.bigcartel.com

First time ever vinyl pressing for this incredible (and highly sought after) 1996 album by the Social Deviantz out of Vancouver, Canada. Sounding somewhat like a cross between west coast peers Souls of Mischief and the Pharcyde, DJ Junya's beats create the perfect soundscape for MC's A-Train and Fatbone to display their considerable skills on the mic. Don't sleep on this incredibly dope LP!
