25TH ANNIVERSARY SKULL CD Bundle from @cypresshill & Colored Vinyl LP Bundle via @GetOnDownTweets


CYPRESS HILL 25TH ANNIVERSARY SKULL

PRE-ORDER NOW @ WWW.GETONDOWN.COM


Cypress Hill teamed up with Get On Down to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their 1991 debut with an ultra deluxe "25th Anniversary Skull" reissue. The First Edition is limited to 1,991 units.  Orders begin shipping in late September.

The entire set is housed in a unique, hard resin black skull - a faithful, 3-D physical recreation of the group's 1991 logo. A CD with remastered audio and a 100-plus page hardcover book are also included. The book features extensive liner notes by journalist Chris Faraone with input from B-Real, Sen Dog and DJ Muggs, and also includes full album lyrics and rarely seen photos provided by the group, as well as press clippings from 1991.

Cypress Hill's self-titled debut album was hard as nails, with very few pop concessions. There was humor, but it was laced by cackling, homicidal sneering. Not well known outside of the hardcore hip-hop scene at first, faces of the three group members weren't usually shown clearly in press photos; they preferred the shadows. As their first singles began hitting the airwaves and record racks, the press and music fans started to take notice. From the opening notes of the group's first single, "The Phuncky Feel One," to deeper album cuts like "Stoned Is The Way Of The Walk" and "Tres Equis," it was clear that Cypress Hill was something different. And very, very dope.

Journalist and author Chris Faraone highlights the group's relationship in the reissue's liner notes saying, "[By the late '80s] the undisputed Cypress unit finally formed. B and Sen realized that their diametric styles - the latter's deep wrangle, the former's inimitable high notes - complemented one another righteously. By then Muggs had bangers in the bag, as well as industry experience from a jaunt with the New York duo 7A3. B and Sen waited while Muggs messed with 7A3, and in that time began to build the blueprint for their raucous and weeded no-holds-barred style. Besidesgetting schooled on industry pitfalls, Muggs had also grown into hip-hop's most formidable young producer, while straddling the bi-coastal gap."
When asked about his inspiration to write and rhyme, B-Real got candid with Faraone, saying, "All of the writing in relation to Cypress was based off of experiences, whether direct and living through them or the other guys, or stuff that we [had] seen through other guys in the trenches, when I was living that gangster lifestyle. It was the life we were living that we used as a backdrop."

Sen Dog sums up the group's incredible journey perfectly in the liner notes: "It's like, 'Goddammit, we actually went out there and did what we said we were gonna do.' That's one of the hardest things to do in the world, and we did it. Every once in a while, I'll look out at B when I'm on stage and say, 'We're still doing it.' [Our fist] record was respected by everyone in the business, and to meet people like EPMD [back then] and for them to love your shit, those are the things you never forget."

Ol' Dirty Bastard BROOKLYN ZOO/SHIMMY SHIMMY YA Shaped Picture Disc+ @MobbDeep THE INFAMOUS 180 Gram 2 Color Vynil+ @Raekwon ONLY BUILT 4 CUBAN LINX Cassette & LP Bundle via @GetOnDownTweets

OL' DIRTY BASTARD "BROOKLYN ZOO" /  "SHIMMY SHIMMY YA" SHAPED PICTURE DISC

This shaped, picture-disc vinyl features Ol' Dirty's first two singles, "Brooklyn Zoo" & "Shimmy Shimmy Ya," released from his seminal debut full-length, and is a recreation of the iconic "Public Assistance ID Card" from the original album's cover art. A must have for any collector.


MOBB DEEP "THE INFAMOUS" (2 LP COLOR VINYL 180 GRAM)

Special limited edition release from All City Music, features Orange and Blue vinyl pressed on 180 gram vinyl. 

Mobb Deep's The Infamous is one of the most iconic records from the 90's. With guest appearances from Nas, Wu-Tang Clan members, Reakwon and Ghostface Killah, the album was a major milestone for the duo, launching them from relative obscurity into THE super group they became. The album has since served as the blueprint for a certain type of jagged New York street rap.

From "Survival of the Fittest", "Give Up The Goods (Just Step)", "Right Back At You" and "Eye For an Eye" all are Mobb at their best with some notable features from Nas, Raekwon, Ghost and QB affiliate Big Noyd. "Up North Trip" and "Drink The Pain Away" are other amazing album cuts while "Shook Ones Pt. 2" is the albums crown jewel, from the moment the hi hat and snare combo drops it still has the same impact today as it did 20 years ago.
