Death Row US Vinyl & CDs

Review: 30 years on, 'Doggystyle' still has a big place in the hearts of West Coast rap fans as the record that launched Snoop Doggy Dogg's solo career, after his appearance on Dr.Dre's solo debut 'The Chronic' just the year before in 1992. Snoop isn't always given the recognition he deserves from newer hip-hop fans, but the well-versed recognise 'Doggystyle' as one of the most important G-Funk records of all time, and one of the most important hip-hop records of the 20th century. This anniversary reissue is the definitive package of this crucial record, featuring the song 'Gz Up, Hoes Down', which was missing from the tracklist until 2006 due to problems with clearing the sample 'The Look of Love'. The record is a family affair, no truly big names as features and being produced entirely by Dre - that's how you know it's good.

Review: Death Row Records and gamma have joined forces for the release of the 30th Anniversary edition of Above The Rim (The Soundtrack), and it is the first time the full 21-song tracklist has ever been available on vinyl - but not just any vinyl it is double yellow with orange and red splatter wax. Initially selling over two million copies and reigning atop the Billboard R&B Albums chart for ten weeks, the soundtrack features classic joints from Tha Dogg Pound, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Dr. Dre, Warren G, DJ Quik, and Al B. Sure! This special edition also introduces tracks from 2Pac, Lord G, and 2Pac featuring Stretch, Treach, and Riddler, which will only enhance its legendary status.
