发布日期 2002年6月4日 出版发行: Rawkus / Umgd
Colored vinyl, Deluxe vinyl 2 LP pressing in gatefold jacket including five color print (full color plus metallic gold pantone) with spot gloss UV effects and flood matte finish. The raised spot gloss application to Big L's face, hand and the album title on the front cover, as well as the full figure on the back cover creates an almost 3D-ish effect. An illustration of Big L's hand has been printed with a unique gold pantone on the inside panels of the gatefold, along with oversized apparitions of his name and figure that have been layered with spot-gloss over a collages of hotographic images on the left and right panels for further Op Art effect. As if that weren't enough, both board based inner-sleeves feature photographic collages in full color with a Matte finish making for a totally pimped-out class act package! Lovingly rendered for the collectors who dig aesthetics and folks with finely refined tastes, this piece not only is an ode to Hip-Hop fans worldwide, but to honor the legacy that Big L created.

The Bay Area’s (not Toronto’s) Prince Ali gets a major solo release push from Hieroglyphics Imperium! As he is constantly dissatisfied with some of the music that is getting more play from the Bay these days, Prince Ali refuses to conform and drops a diversified album full of melodic rhymes and rhythms over hard hitting tracks like “The Majors” with Planet Asia, Casual and Keith Murray, to space-y vibes like “Side Show”. For fans of Bored Stiff’s From the Ground Up and featuring a slew of other Hiero cameos from A-Plus, Tajai and Pep Love.

Custom Made
发布日期 2008年1月1日 出版发行: Babygrande
Dubbed sometimes as a kind of Mobb Deep meets NWA type group, Custom Made drops their sophomore follow up to 2004's LA State of Mind on their new home at Babygrande Records! The West Coast collective formed in 2003 and since releasing their first album lost one of their original members Sinister Six, but pushed on with their highly sought after mixtape series Street Cinema, which Babygrande also eventually put out in a "Best Of" release. Recently picked up as one of Rawkus' Top 50 (hope you've been keeping track) in unsigned talent, the honor couldn't have come at a better time as Original Dynasty puts Element, Bluff, Scoobs and Aneek back in the spotlight.

The meeting of two West Coast rappers fuelled this talented Canadian band. In 1996, Mad Child was a solo artist performing in San Francisco when he returned to his hometown of Vancouver. There he met Prevail, who was gaining attention for his energetic live shows and abilities. The two joined forces and headed to San Diego to perform at the annual B-Boy Summit. The group was initiated into the Rock Steady Crew, one of only three bands to do so. Following this, the group released three independent singles before releasing Balance, their debut effort in 1999 on Battle Axe Records. A world tour and hundreds of performances followed. In 2001, the band released its second album, Bad Dreams. The same year they received a Juno Award for Best Rap Recording for Balance. In 2002, the band performed with Nelly Furtado and won a second Juno Award for Best Rap Recording. Monsters in the Closet followed in 2003, and Heavy appeared in 2004. Their music has been featured on soundtracks, computer games, and other outlets. Theyve also worked with members of the Beat Junkies and Jurassic 5, among others.
