Ellay Khule - Rifleman b/w Knuckle Sandwich 45

True fans rejoice! Our Cali Classics imprint is proud to announce that our inaugural release is finally here! Ellay Khule does not disappoint with two definitive cuts from his early catalog.

Originally self released in 1993, on Riflemanz Kclas-Sixx Vol 1., Knuckle Sandwich is a textbook example of the forward-thinking stylistic approach which would become Ellay Khule’s hallmark. On the flip, the rapidfire flow of Rifleman showcases his devestating range of natural rhythmic precision.

Pressed on limited vinyl 45. Comes with lyric sheets. Mastered by Deeskee. Sound clips coming soon..

TwentyFour-Seven Records Sampler


This is a 23 song sampler of the 24/7 Swedish record label. Instead of trying to babel about this im gonna paste an excerpt from their website.

247 Records is an independent label, born and raised in Sweden. We started this whole thing back in 2003 when we felt more good music needed to come out on vinyl. The first release with Mikah 9 from Freestyle Fellowship was very welcomed among listeners worldwide and after that we kept it rolling until where we are today. The love for the music is our fuel and vinyl is our passion. For as long we possibly can, we’ll keep putting out music on vinyl, the superior format of music

Gajah Bonus Pack

I was giving a few tracks from Gajah titled as "unreleased shit and collaborations". This is seven tracks that I picked out from there that fall somewhere between the two previous mentioned categories. Gajah is a very talented emcee from the crew Acid Reign. If your not familiar you need to get familiar. I know its really easy to get free music, thru the net these days, but if you have a job and like honest music please support these artists and pay for something every once in awhile...heres  a few links.....1,2, and 3! I'm gonna get off my soap box now and say thank you to Gajah, and thank you to everybody for supporting this blog. Much Luv, peace!

Gajah - Missleaneous

"Being a part of a legendary circle of emcees can be both a gift and a curse. Having earned his stripes back in the 90’s frequenting LA’s famous Project Blowed open mic and being schooled in the art of MCing by artists like Aceyalone, Gajah has some pretty lofty expectations placed on him but with his solo effort, Missleaneous, he’s looking to show he has soaked up game like a sponge. The funky and introspective “Baggage” shows the MC as he reflects on the challenges of everyday life and the awkward but appropriate flow on “Breakfast Shoplift” show him as he attempts to steal food for his grumbling stomach in an entertaining twist on what could be considered a rather mundane topic. “2 The Hardway” is a break from struggle and is an upbeat tune that celebrates lyrics and wordplay for those who appreciate true MCing. Filled with spiritual undertones, quirky flows and unexpected sounds laced into the production, Missleaneous is a surprisingly diverse testament to free expression and the possibilities of music."

Track of the Week

"I'm set apart you're just a shot in the dark
And the darkness casts no shadow
And I'll be victorious, no matter who I battle
So every rapper in the house shut the fuck up!"

a.t.x.2.l.a.c.a. vol.1

Being a Texan myself, and big supporter of the Austin music scene, I am extra proud of these compilations. Released in 2008 there is a staggering 9 volumes(that i'm aware of) to this Cali-Tex connection. I'm still trying to find the last three volumes, but if this is something people are feeling, I will try to put the other volumes up as well.
