We've got the new K-Delight & The Voodoo Guru 7" in exclusively for the next 2 months featuring Chrome from Def Tex. If your a regular listener to the radio show you'll have heard this a good few months back but if not it's the 2nd track on this weeks show. You can buy it here, but be quick we've only got limited copies! Anyone unfamiliar with Lord Finesse's work could have a listen to the following for an idea of how influential he has and is to hip-hop and popular music in general, casual hip-hip listeners will be familiar with the use of his voice on Fat Boy Slim's massive pile of shite "Rockerfella Skank", ignore that and check these instead...
Funky Technician (Wild Pitch) His incredible debut featuring production from Premo, Diamond D and Showbiz. OG copies have GOLD lettering so don't be fooled if trying to track this down, it's also been officially reissued and bootlegged so be careful!
Return Of The Funky Man (Giant or 2LP Traffic Reissue) OG US vinyl is promo only so us Europeans had it easier for once! Includes the amazing "Yes You May" featuring Percee P and A.G. (the 12" remix introduced Big L to the world).
The Awakening (Penalty) Includes the classic posse cut "Actual Facts", also "Hip 2 Da Game" Brainstorm feat O.C. & KRS-One etc and all the instrumentals.
Crates To The Files (White 2lp or 3LP on Fat Beats) I forgot to ask if he actually put out the original release of this or not, has guest appearances by Page The Hand Grenade and Shelrumble (why new rappers can't think of such great names I don't know) and production from T-Ray, Showbiz and Diamond D.
Rare and Unreleased (Underboss) CD only unfortunately but still enough exclusives to make it into any Finesse fans collection and includes the original demo to the Message that ended up being used by Dr Dre on 2001.
Funky Dope Manueveur EP (Vinyl Addicts) A recent release but also the oldest courtesy of Germany's Vinyl Addicts (shouts to Maze), an amazing slice of history and a bonus freestyle for good measure. There were only 200 copies of this pressed and it sold out within days so getting a copy now will be tricky and expensive (cheapest copy on Discogs is £119!) I could go into his 12" releases and production work but it would take up the entire blog so click on this discogs link to find out some more of his work here and here and have some fun discovering his music or listening again, thats what it's all about at the end of the day
Have a great week
