I love records. But I love records because I love music. And sometimes, in fact often, great music doesn't get pressed on vinyl. And that's ok! That's why Bandcamp is so great. It's endless in how much great stuff is available there. Here's just a small sampling of the beautiful music I've found that as far as I know, has not been pressed onto vinyl, but is available digitally if you seek it out.

Unbiased Ghetto Opinion - The Rare 90's Joint EP MIXED BY DJ CUTLER

Soul Kid Klik are a New York based crew that was formed by producer/rapper/Jazz musician G-Clef da Mad Komposa in the mid 90's. They were one-time Wu-Tang affiliated being signed to GZA’s imprint but the label folded after a while forcing them to take the independent route.⁠
⁠
After dropping ‘Invisible Army” on vinyl back in 2018 we have now compiled 12 more tracks that were originally recorded between 1994-1998. Out of these 12, 9 will be on vinyl for the first time ever (5 solo tracks from Infamous Mr. Savage and 4 from G-Clef) in addition to 3 Goodfella Mike G tracks that appeared on his solo album.⁠
⁠
Shoutout to @madkomposa for putting in work transferring everything from the DAT tapes and remastering the material. Another BIG thanks to @rastaross_ and @ashes.to.ash666 for their work on the artwork! Finally one love to my man Ill Will aka @williamainis who served as A&R on this one.⁠

Nick Wiz Presents Main One - Forgotten Child (1995-1999) - Vinyl 2LP/2xCD Snippets

This tribute is long overdue and one listen to this mix you will witness exactly why it needed be manifested, B-Sides, Unreleased joints, solo joints and guest appearances it's all here and as I was compiling joints, it is very likely that a part 2 will suffice with a rare joint on the next one...so who is Maspyke?..

Maspyke is an underground Hip-hop group known for their smooth production and intelligent lyricism. The trio, consisting of Tableek, Hanif Jamiyl aka H Bomb Boogie, and Roddy Rod, blends jazz-influenced beats with sharp, thought-provoking rhymes, creating a signature sound that resonates with hip-hop purists. 

Hailing from the East Coast, Maspyke gained recognition in the late 1990s and early 2000s, releasing projects that showcased their deep musicality and socially conscious themes.

Started in 2001 by then-Manchester-based DJ Chubby Grooves aka Pro Celebrity Golf. Only 1 release a year for the first 3 years of the label's existence culminated in 2004 with the epic cut-n-paste mix Three Sinister Syllables. Since then label owner and artist Pro Celebrity Golf has been acting in more of an A&R capacity excavating lost 90's Hip Hop material [as well as brand new DOPENESS] and releasing it for the first time on vinyl in limited quantities.
