From a time when New York City Underground Hip Hop was at its peak and in its prime comes The Lost Episodes. This set comes from a time when legendary lyricists were appearing at venues such as Nuyorican Poet's Café, SOB's, Vinyl, Lyricist Lounge and recording out of studios such as FireHouse, D&D and Chun-King just to mention a few. Monikers come to mind such as Natural Elements comprised of Mr. Voodoo aka AGU, L-Swift aka SWIGGA and Anthony Cruz aka A-Butta. House of Repz which included A.L. Skillz, Benny Blanco from the Bronx aka BEN.Y., Jedi aka Son of Spock, Absolute and recently added members EchoOne and Oktober Zero. Lyrical Wizards such as Matrix & the Pyramindz, Punchline, Wordsworth, Avatar, Animosity, Cyanide, Sir Menelik aka Scaramanga Shallah, Godfather Don and the list goes on and on. These were the days when Microphone Controllers inspired one another to write sharp lyrics and being skillful at your craft actually carried weight in the streets. In this exclusive series producer Kenny Diaz takes you inside the often talked about and never duplicated realm of the New York Underground scene at its grittiest, it's finest and in its purest form. Included are unreleased tracks from various artists who recorded with Kenny Diaz in the dungeons of the NYC underground. Now that the vaults have been opened by Kenny Diaz, Destro88 and Kings Link Recordz you've got a prime source for that raw uncut NYC 90s Hip Hop.

Since their creation in 2002 in Ottawa, Canada, The Souljazz Orchestra have become one of the most potent bands in their field. Drawing on the rough, raw grooves of the ‘60s and ‘70s and effortlessly fusing soul, jazz, Afro and latin rhythms within their music, they have moved forward the blueprint of Fela, Fania and the funk in entirely new ways, whilst keeping the vital analogue grit intact. As a live unit, the Orchestra have become an in-demand fixture at venues and festivals worldwide. Having turned heads with two fine albums on Toronto label Do Right!, ‘Freedom No Go Die’ (2006, featuring their breakthrough single ‘Mista President’) and ‘Manifesto’ (2008), Strut are proud to announce the band’s hotly anticipated third album, ‘Rising Sun’. Drawing on a wider canvas of styles than ever before, touching on spiritual jazz, deep African rhythms and Ethiopian modes, the Orchestra take their sound to new heights with stunning musicianship and virtuoso arrangements throughout. Long-time fan Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio One) has already acclaimed this album to be their best yet. The tracks themselves flow as a sinuous whole. The reflective intro overture, Awakening, originally came to composer Pierre Chretien in a dream; the hard Afrobeat of Agbara whips up a heavyweight groove, driven by prepared marimbas rather than traditional electric guitar lines; Negus Negast touches on dark Ethio-jazz, inspired by Strut label-mate Mulatu Astatke; Lotus Flower is a spiritual soul-jazz piece featuring the muted trumpet stylings of guest Nicholas Dyson (musician with Gladys Knight & The Pips, The Temptations and The Coasters); Mamaya moves us into heavy 12/8 Afro-jazz territory, based around traditional Guinean rhythms; the more laid back 12/8 Afro-jazz of Serenity features the flute and clarinet work of multi-instrumentalist Zakari Frantz; Consecration explores modal territory, a track composed during the very early days of the group; and the album closes with Rejoice, a storming cover in two parts of the Pharoah Sanders’ 1981 classic.
