AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted

Mario — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 18:07:57 +0000

"AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted" is Ice Cube's debut solo album, released in 1990 by Priority Records. It received widespread acclaim upon its release, and is regarded as a hiphop classic and one of the best albums of the 1990's.

After leaving N.W.A., Ice Cube immediately moved to record his own album. Cube maintains that originally he and Dr. Dre still wanted to collaborate for Cube's debut, but the move was nixed by label powers. After contacting Public Enemy's production team the Bomb Squad, they completed the album. With socio-political conscious and gangsta rap content, its songs delve into the issues of ghetto life, drug addiction, racism and poverty. Throughout the album, Ice Cube incessantly attacks institutional racism, as well as social norms which directly or indirectly allowed the oppression of those living in the ghettos of Los Angeles to continue.

We have an original first European pressing for sale, in great shape!

Who Do You Pray To?

Mario — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 18:38:13 +0000

Fast rising UK artist Sam Tompkins debuts on vinyl with "Who Do You Pray To?", continuing to reveal his unique voice as a writer with honest brave lyrical content. Touching on home truths, grief and mental health struggles, "Hero" promises that there’s always something worth fighting for. Matching pop touches to a classic feel, he is often compared to Sam Fender's anthemic truth-seeking or Tom Walker's revelatory autobiography. Yet Sam's work stands alone and is already scaling mountainous heights. His music digs deep, explores the key topics in his life and communicates emotions we all feel, but sometimes can't put into words.

Brand new copy on 180-grams heavyweight vinyl, signed by Sam himself!
