Originally intended for release in 1994 but sat on the shelf following Scientifik's untimely death in 1996, this album has only just been released this year... Features dope producing by The RZA, Diamond, Buckwild and Vinyl Reanimators. MASSIVE props to Kohm and Vik from over at Biochemical Slang ! Check out his site for some [...]

REWIND, the year is 1988... The year packed full of great albums... Eric B and Rakim have already cashed in on 'Paid in Full' and were moving onto 'Follow the Leader'... 1988, the same year that Ultramagnetic MCs dropped their acclaimed 'Critical Breakdown' and in many ways they set a bar in hip-hop which has not been reached since... Their futuristic styles were way ahead of their time and even now never fail to amaze me... Kool Keith especially is on top of his game with his wacked out spacehead lyrics its no wonder how he managed to strike it [...]

As you may have realised i dont post many mixtapes, i have the occassional DJ Premier and if i recall correctly there was a Tupac one, other than that i dont really like too many asides from the classic ones... This is an exception, one of the few mixtapes i feel really does justice to the artist... Isnt hard to believe with both Dirty Harry & DJ Vlad (the mixtape veterens) in control, especially with Notorious on the mic, how could you go wrong?! So whats different about this mixtape from many others? Just the ammount of quality, variety and [...]

Straight Outta Australia, Lazy Grey one of aussies top MCs rips it up and spits some filthy rhymes on his 3rd solo album 'Banned in Queensland'. His distinctive aussie sound and flow gives Lazy a unique sound when compared to most rappers, his lyrics aswell have a distinctive aussie context and with his heavy, sometimes unusual beats, this album shows signs of brilliance at times. Favourites in bold Tracklist: 1. Banned In Queensland (Intro) 2. The Gift (Part 2) [...]

The lesser known of the Jurassic 5 DJ Duo, DJ Nu Mark displays his talents in his full-length LP, 'Hands On'. Here Nu Mark mixes and scratches his way through his delights and influences stretching through genres such as funk, indie rap and international hip-hop. DONT SLEEP ON THIS! Great album from beggining to end. Tracklist: 1. Intro - DJ Nu-Mark 2. Down Home - Eddy Senay 3. Rubber Bumpers - Tony Luisi 4. Laying Eggs - Paz 5. Hot Track - Rex Company [...]

DJ Cut Chemist, one of the two DJs behind the remarkable Jurassic 5, brings us 'The Litmus Test', his fantastic however unfortunately short (30 minutes) journey into music. Cut Chemist has been seen as an innovator of music and this album/EP reflects that as he successfully mixes through his own rare tracks and remixes. Tracklist: 1. This is 2. Intro 3. Bunkys Pick 4. Quality Intro 5. Contact 6. Jayou 7. Break 8. Eye On The Gold Chain [...]

Just a few DJ Shadow releases I gathered together and uploaded for Parable Formula.. Enjoy! Click images for download -=--------------------------=- DJ Shadow - Funky Skunk A heavy mostly hip-hop mix, some good stuff, more rapping than Shadow normally works with -=--------------------------=- DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist - Brainfreeze [...]

Two of the greatest compilation albums of the past couple of years, 'You Think You Know' and 'You Dont Know the Half' released by the fairly unknown label Halftooth Records, to be honest I only downloaded these coz it was sent my way thanks to Scoop and im yet to hear a bad album from him, at first glance i knew maybe one or two people on this compilation, the rest i had absolutely no idea about so i had no expectations, what i discovered was some of the most slept on talent to grace the stereo from artists Oddisee, [...]

Fresh from the depths of Kool Keith's imagination, Mr. Nogatco (Octagon backwards) is his latest creation, a sinister doctor specialising in alien autopsies. This is by far not Kool Keith's best album and i think its because the character doesnt fit him as well, he doesn't get as many chances to be the perverted sicko hes famous for, he does however show glimpses of hope within songs like 'Big Adventure'... Dont get me wrong, its not a bad album, just not what youd expect of Keith. [...]

Been looking for this one for a while and its been so goddamn tricky because they re-released this album like 10 times under different names with different tracks... i think this release is called 'Eminem & Friends - The Game Over Sessions'... Anyhow, my search started when i heard the track 'Super Brooklyn' by Smif N Wessun & Mr Cheeks which is a phatttttt Super Mario remix... i seriously looked for this album just for that track, its awesome... then i discovered that this whole album is a proffetional production which takes that old super nintendo sound and [...]

You all might remember Brand Nubian, one of the groups that left a huge mark in the early nineties and forefronted the development of Islam (5% Nation) within music... The group comprised of Grand Puba as the lead rapper and Sadat X (AKA Derek X) and Lord Jamar as support with DJ Alamo on the ones and twos... Grand Puba has gotten a lot of tribute and praise from the community yet I reckon Sadat X deserves a little bit of light... So i bring you the Sadat [...]

Bob Marley meets the next generation... Produced by the Marley brothers, 'Chantdown Babylon' is a tribute to the Reggae legend featuring many contemporary hip-hop artists... The artists passion is true and can be felt as they combine their feelings and interpretations with Marley's, it is a truly spiritual and emotional album. Note that this is NOT an independent mash-up album, this a proffetional production with original lyrics from the artists. Tracklist: 1. No More Trouble - Erykah Badu 2. Rebel Music - Krazie Bone 3. Johnny Was - Guru 4. Concrete Jungle - Rakim 5. Rastaman Chant - [...]

I have downloaded this multiple times... it always turned out to be unnamed bullshit in m4p format... so you know what... I converted to mp3 and i named every track... Pete Rock & CL Smooth - Live at the London Jazz Club

Just a few videos ive enjoyed over at other sites... D&D Allstars - 1, 2, 3 Pass it - feat. Mad Lion, Doug E. Fresh, KRS-One, Fat Joe, Smif N Wessun, Jeru & DJ Premier... Have been into this track for a while, then i saw this over at http://djpremierplanet.blogspo t.com/ George Bush - Collage of stupidity... Found this one hillarious, noticed it over at my latest addition to my links list [...]

After a heavy period of mourning for our long lost Mobb Deep... I feel its time to move on... From 'Blood Money' where its hard to find a good line, I bring you the DJ Premier & DJ Babu 'Bootleg', where every second is gold! DJ Premier & DJ Babu have been on top of the producing game since RZA fell off sometime between Wu-Tang's 'Forever' and 'Iron Flag' and theyve been rippin' it up ever since... The first half of the album is the usual hot Babu shiznit spanning from Planet Asia to Dilated Peoples... Also included [...]

Just a short addition thanks to Lasos... This should help ease the pain from the latest Mobb Deep album... This smooth EP released by De La early 1993 features a couple of great tracks accompanied by their instrumentals... It also features two interludes, which are just way too trippy to describe, im not even going to ask why theyre there but it surprisingly adds to the atmosphere created in this EP... Tracklist: 1 Breakadawn (Vocal Version) (4:15) 2 Stickabush (1:11) 3 En Focus (Vocal Version) (3:15) [...]
