JAZZY RAP FIRST TIME ON VINYL? GO ON THEN

There’s a lot of great hip hop that never made it to vinyl for whatever reason, so it’s always great when someone reissues one and for the first time in many cases!

With that, the always magic Be With have Superstar Quamallah’s ‘Invisible Man’ on the go, to celebrate it’s 15th anniversary. Want to know more? Well, this is what Be With are saying…

“Holy grail hip-hop alert! Superstar Quamallah’s Invisible Man was never released on wax so, to celebrate the 15th anniversary of this astounding record, we present the first ever vinyl edition. A stunning record which gained accolades upon its initial release, such as a prominent feature on Gilles Peterson’s renowned Best Of 2009 show, it’s one of the most essential jazz rap albums of all time. Cut across double vinyl, it’s exceedingly limited, with just 500 pressed for the world.”

“Deep jazz rap on that mellow-melodic tip, Invisible Man is an unforgettable album with nothing but dope beats and dope bars. There’s a strong chance this album has passed you by but we truly believe it to be a lost hip-hop masterpiece.”

“It supremely captures the essence of a golden age classic without being slavish to the past. No, this ain’t some facile throwback rap. It’s a fresh and deeply soulful, original album shot through straight from the heart. Perfect to chill to, Invisible Man is profoundly jazz-oriented and captures with simplicity and sincerity the essence of hip-hop circa 1983-1994.”

Is that right up your street? Well, you can get your mitts on it on June 7th and you can pre-order now
