Werd - Freehand Recordings


This one was requested by Jibs from Thisisforthehustlers and upped by Kaliyuga Pro.
DJ Werd is a DJ from San Jose, and part of the Phaderheads collective, Audiopharmacy, Long Lost Relative. This one tape has never been ripped as far as I know... It's his second mixtape (never seen the first one, called "Curbside Mixture") from 1998.
Enjoy!

Z-Man - 4 Hours Of Sleep (Ltd ed. LP)



Very proud to announce the vinyl reissue of this Bay Area classic 4-track album on my one-man label.
It was his second solo effort, originally made in 98, then released in 99 as handmade cassettes. Atak later made a small cd-r rerun of these. 

It's considered by most his best, and it's one my favorite rap album ever.
Productions are handled 3/4 by Slim Goodworth of 99th Demention and 1/4 by Vrse Murphy of Sacred Hoop. 

There's only 200 copies of this, and it comes with an A4 insert incl. an interview with Z about the making of 4 Hours.

If you're not familiar with it, let's say it's completely raw, eccentric, delirious.. Super dope. There's a couple of tracks' chorus and lines that will stuck in your head for the rest of your life.

The vinyl version is short of 3 tracks compared to the cassette version due to lack of space.

You can listen and buy it:

... Enjoy and thanks for your support! Each cent will go to the making of another dope vinyl reissue.
