Since it’s officially only been a month since Uncommon Records reissued my 2008 record humancloud abandonment, I’m geeked to announce that the humancloud 7″ got distribution from hhv.de. It’s the biggest and most recognized source for hip-hop vinyl. Having my 7″ and other Uncommon Records releases on hhv.de is a huge deal. Since shipping product over seas is expensive, it’s especially appreciated that international hip-hop heads and record collectors still supported. We were already getting preorders for the humancloud 7″ …

Released at the tail-end of 2018, there is much to revisit on Ritual Mystik, Zion I’s album of deep-soul bangers.

His smoky, opium-shrouded brand of hip-hop finds an unusual, though comfortable, counterpoint between softly sensual grooves and a bitter evincing of a hard-lived life. Ray’s 2017 Sub Pop debut, Watercolor (following his true debut, 2016’s Nightfall, on indie label Intratecque) …
Humancloud Abandonment dropped on January 22 and even prior to the release, people were pre-ordering the 7″. They were enjoying D.D.B. and the title track that came as an insta-download after purchasing the vinyl. To see the amount of people that copped the vinyl was incredible.
