I just picked up Tab Jones Dusted cassette.

It's got a lot of Wu-Tang in it. Which I dig.

I have Apollo Brown's 38 on cassette and CD... dope album. I'll post the titles of some hot tapes in a few..gotta see what I have here.

"Oh, and don't forget about all the classic rap tapes floating around for cheap on ebay or at the thrift store. In a box filled with sermons and Richard clayderman tapes at a Christian ministries thrift shop, I found the first leaders of the new school album and lifestyles of the poor and dangerous by big l on cassette. Definitely worth getting the fingers dusty for!"

I went to Hope Outlet in town (Christian Ministry non-profit) and found ODB's Return to the 36 Chambers, 3rd Bass- The Cactus Album, and and Eric B and Rakim single all on cassettes..

Yeah, thrift stores are ill. I found The Winstons - Amen Brother 45 at Salvation Army a couple weeks ago. Snagged it for 99 cents.

I wasn't really feeling that tape. I liked a couple of tracks on it. But nothing stood out as good enough to buy it.
I heard Apollo's got a collab going down with Rass Kass.

I love you guys!
Seriously, I've not really touched tapes for decades but I've been watching this movement. It's good stuff. I'm thinking of getting in and trying to make a few myself.

Haha, i thought i was the only one to have it on multiple formats. i got the lp first, but then realized it didnt contain the full album. it did come with a nice 45, though. The mellow music label is a completist's worst nightmare.

That collab with Rass Kass should be good. The OC one was, so was the brown tape with ghostface. no nonsense beats and rhymes from a proven vet seems to be the formula.

Also, since this thread was started i got the Deep Crates "Crate Rebellion" cassette in the mail, and that is worth copping for sure.

I just bought this one. IlltheEssence is my jam. 505 shiz.

I've never heard of Ill The Essence nor that c slash label.
But that's a dope tape.
I like the ol' timey music with trashy drums.
Sounds like alot of samples off dollar bin records.
I have a bunch of those.
Got 3 sitting next to my turntable right now.
Listened to them before I bought them and liked the bass in the background.
Trying to work the resample on SampleTrak to lo pass filter out the "Sha-la-la-la-lagh" singing.

Thanks for the heads up on that tape, hseiken. I had some ebay funds burning a hole in my paypal pocket.

This made me smile man.. times is tuff.. when the tape comes out you get two copies for free. Bam!

Props to False Tropics aswell, Yall should check his music out, got his lp, and its mad dope.

1 luv

"Pure Vibes"

"...is diggin"

Coincidentally, both released through DIGDUGDIY. Good sh*t!

Yeah, that Dig Dug label is pretty sweet.
I like the artwork on the cassettes. And how all the releases have a sort of cohesive color pallette.
I liked a merch deal they had where you could buy a couple tapes and they packaged with it a old school walkman.
Definitely a uniqe camp.

Word! I'm a hold you to that.
I don't have Dusty Planets in my collection because I hate CDs and I don't buy digital files. I like hard copies. Wax or cassette.



LP as in a record? I didn't know he had anything new out.
I haven't seen any releases of false tropics since last year.
I'm following him on Bandcamp and SoundCloud.
And he buys damn near every cassette that comes out on Bandcamp. I see his icon in the collection thing.
So I know he's got plenty of inspiration for making music.

This tape is what got me into IllTheEssence...


Dope Jap producer...
