The first single from Jason "ClassicBeatz" Minnis' upcoming album "Rumors of Royalty" out on October 28th.

<i>"Rumors of Royalty is an album that links my American roots to the African diaspora.  Soul, Funk, Gospel, Miami bass, Hip Hop and R&B have had a major impact on my life.  As a native of St. Petersburg, Florida and a long time resident of Brooklyn, NY, I wanted this album to reflect these various influences. The Boom Bap is a perfect reflection of the melting pot of styles."</i>

ClassicBeatz - The Boom Bap (feat. Fresh Daily & Black Spade)

In the closing months of 2012 BBE label artist Chris Read was enlisted by classic Los Angeles imprint Delicious Vinyl to produce a mixtape for Wax Poetics magazine celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the release of The Pharcyde's seminal debut LP 'Bizarre Ride'. The resulting mix was a runaway success clocking tens of thousands of plays online and kickstarted a relationship with the label that would go on to see Chris remix two of the group's best loved tracks, 'Runnin' and 'Passin Me By'.

Those tracks are now available for the first time on this limited edition BBE x Delicious Vinyl double vinyl 7inch release. Treating the familiar original with respect, Chris has called upon the vocal talents of long time collaborators Lizzy Parks (Tru Thoughts) and guitarist Giles Barratt (Breakin Bread) to rework passages from 'Runnin' to create a 2014 update on the themes of the much loved Jay Dee produced classic. 'Passin Me By' meanwhile gets a '90s throwback rework utilising sample material from the original to great effect to create a track which bears all the hallmarks of the golden era.
Mastered and cut by Walter Coelho who cut Jay Dee's 'Welcome to Detroit' back in 2001, the circle is complete!

Busta Rhymes - Enjoy Da Ride (dédé Remix)

New verses by Godfather Don are hard to come by, he's recorded one new vocal track in the past 13 years, so we were blown away to get two new tracks!

This is a perfect collaboration with the Jazz Spastiks, Don's vocals were laid down in late 2017, JS's beats were cooked up in early 2018.  Side A contains 'Straight From The Gutter' and Side B has the equally dope 'Kick The Ballistics'.  Vocal and instrumental versions are included, plus a vinyl exclusive remix for both tracks.

GFD has still got it!

Limited edition 350 copies, stickered sleeve, black vinyl 12" 33rpm.

Shipping in mid October 2018.
