Needle Drops Vinyl & CDs

Review: A standout blend of vintage hip-hop, capturing the essence of early 90s sound. Side-1 features 'Ode To Native Tongues', a tribute to the influential Native Tongues collective, packed with classic samples, scratching and a nostalgic vibe that celebrates the golden era of hip-hop. Side-2 presents a tribal groove-driven track with sharp, insightful lyrics. It's a true hip-hop underground gem, with a rhythmic flow that stands out as both thought-provoking and danceable. This 45 is an essential weapon for DJs and fans of 90s hip-hop who appreciate its deeper cuts and hidden treasures.

Review: A classic hip-hop track by Long Beach, CA trio Ugly Duckling, 'Turn It Up' was originally released in 2003 as part of their second album Taste The Secret, in turn a concept album about a fictional fast food chain called MeatShake. Celebrating the base joy of loud music, the track is inherently meaty and packed with brass bombast and call-and-response unity, and here it comes backed with an instrumental version on the B-side, for those who require an extra DJ tool or two at their disposal.
