Kickin Kutz Vinyl & CDs

Review: Busta Rhymes' 7" release on Kickin Kutz features two dynamic tracks from his fifth studio album, Genesis. Side-1 boasts 'Break Ya Neck,' a high-energy hip-hop track produced by Dr Dre, with additional vocals by Truth Hurts, originally released as the album's second single in 2001 and incorporating an interpolation of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' 'Give It Away.' The official remix, featuring Twista and Do or Die, further elevates its appeal. Side-2 presents 'As I Come Back,' featuring Kelis, which showcases Busta Rhymes' rapid-fire delivery and innovative style. Two classics of Busta Rhymes' early 2000s sound.

Review: Junior Mafia consisted of Lil' Cease, Chico, Nino Brown, Larceny, Trife, MC Klepto, and Lil' Kim and hailed from Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York. Kickin records collects their two biggest hits and includes them on one 7". These two classics of New York hip-hop are guideposts for the history of the genre. Both of them feature the legend Notorious BIG himself. On side one you have the worldwide hit 'Players Anthem' then on side two there is the equally as large 'Get Money'. You could not escape these tracks in 1995. Hip-hop royalty!
