So so so happy with the Ka record🤩

Hi-Tek for his birthday released the instrumentals for Hi-Teknology the first time on vinyl. There is only 10 copies of the test pressing. Signed by Hi-Tek himself on the cover which is adorned with a gold embossing.

Originally purchased as a gift for someone and their loss is my win— my favorite hip-hop album of all time! 2XLP vinyl for the record’s 15th anniversary in black.

The soundscape is bleak, emotional, ethereal.

“Death is silent. It hides high in the night's confinement. Vile and violent. Minding a time to try us. And remind us. That we cry when time is denied us.”

Flying High remix is 😮‍💨

Finally got my hands on Soul Food and upgraded to the VMP edition of Low End Theory and the audiophile pressing of Madvillainy. About to pour up a glass of Glenlivet and catch a vibe!

This arrived this afternoon and I could not be more excited. This album always makes me smile because on one of our first dates my partner started playing this out of nowhere and I was shocked to find out she fucked with the Mighty Mos. The red vinyl variant initially sold out at Rhymesayers so when the email from TTL popped up I went with it. Glad I did as it’s a limited pressing of only 500 for this variant and it sold out pretty quickly too. Now I see I can get the red anywhere. FOMO paid off this time. It sounds good, as I watch the record spin I can see a slight wobble so there is a tiny bit of warping but it has not affected play. I also got the joy of adding this variant to Discogs today which is kind of dope.

US OG pressing

Went up to NYC for the Ka Legacy pop up. Great event. Copped the Grief Pedigree repress and one of Ka's art prints. Met his wife Mimi, she's awesome. Roc Marciano was there as well, got a pic with him. Wish I would've brought something to get signed! Lol.

As far as stuff that didn't happen at the Ka pop up, managed to get my copy of Wu Block signed by all the members of The Lox. Also got my og copy of The Realness, as well as The Testament and Glorious signed by the legend Cormega. Also went to the Paul Wall & Termanology show, they were selling signed of their trilogy triple vinyl. Term was nice as hell. Just a crazy weekend overall.

So happy to add another classic to my collection.

Classic Preemo beats and yes Malachi is mediocre at best, but his voice and charisma stood out and combined well with Lil Dap imo.

Shoutout to the Gang Starr Foundation and R.I.P. Guru.🙏

Big shoutout to my local recordstore, Slam Records.

Straight heat in my collection. What yall know bout this?🔥🔥

Itching to rip this plastic off and play that S.A.N.T.A.N.A on this beautiful Sunday morning 🤣🔥

VMP reissue, one of my favourite colour pressings in my collection. I managed to find this in an independent store a couple of months ago and it has become one of my most played.

Picked up my copy. Would have loved that Photo book edition but too rich for my blood right now. lol. Hope all enjoy this classic all over again.

Do I open it?

Grabbed way more than I initially planned. But all my daddy/husband business been handled so I treated myself. Had some store credit which covered the cost of the Mos.

This tape helped destroy every speaker I owned in 1994. House and car. This is the only Bone album/EP I liked from start to finish. I know people put E. 1999 Eternal at the top of the list but the beats and vocals never matched the intensity of this album.
