After releasing several mixtapes, and full length albums, the prolific NYC based veteran emcee, El Gant is pleased to release his latest full length effort, Beast Academy. The album is produced entirely by JOAT (Jack Of All Trades), who to date has produced for the likes of La Coka Nostra, Ill Bill, and Vinnie Paz, among others. 'Beast Academy' is an aggressive, fast paced offering that pairs the lyrically inclined Gant with several of the industries most revered lyricists, from seasoned vets such as El Da Sensei (of The Artifacts), and Ill Bill, to today's burgeoning talents like Chris Webby and Torae. The ten track offering also includes a helping hand on "Based Loaded" from El Gant's super group Infinity Gauntlet, which consists of Shabaam Sahdeeq, F.T., Bekay and Red Eye. 'Beast Academy' is now available on CD via Fat Beats and UGHH, and for download via iTunes and all other digital retailers. Please refer to the buy-links below.

Whether you were a tagger, a b-boy/girl or a Hip-Hop head, The Artifacts were one of the best to do it on the underground scene back in the day. Its been nearly 20 years since the release of their debut album 'Between a Rock and a Hard Place,' and if you're curious to know how the former Boom Skwad representative El Da Sensei holds up on the mic in 2014, you'll see that he hasn't lost a step with his latest effort "Show Stoppa." Featuring a sparse and bouncy beat with sharp cuts supplied by DJ Devastate, the jam has the New Jeruz native dropping bombs like it was 94' all over again. "Show Stoppa" is taken from Coalmine Records forthcoming compilation album Unearthed (Mixed by DJ Revolution), which is scheduled to drop on May 13th via CD and digital download.. stay tuned!

Brooklyn veteran spit kicker Shabaam Sahdeeq has returned with his fifth studio album, Keepers Of The Lost Art. The relentless lyricist delivers a body of work that puts his lyrical aptitude at the forefront, while placing an emphasis on top shelf production and cuts, courtesy of Ran Reed, Lewis Parker, DJ Dister, DJ Ready Cee and DJ Skizz, to name a few.

What originally started as 40 tracks, 'Keepers Of The Lost Art' was eventually boiled down to 20, reflecting S-Dub's most comprehensive long play release to date. The LP details his motivation to stay in the game and fight for the culture with bars as tough as the mic in his hand. The production runs the gamut from laid back as exemplified by the nostalgic piano chords on the Lewis Parker produced "Walk with the Light," to electrifying, as demonstrated by the DJ Skizz produced street banger "That Dope," which boasts features from Brooklyn's premiere panderer Wais P, and the lyrically sharp Sha Stimuli. And complain no more club deejays, Shabaam has you covered for a dance friendly cut to spin late Friday nights with the DJ Wonder produced "Fall In Line." It's safe to call it a comeback as his rhymes are as polished today, as they were when he made his Rawkus debut in '97 with "Arabian Nights" B/W "Side 2 Side."

Artistically, the album cover reveals a scenario where Hip-Hop's younger generation discovers the cultural keepsakes of yesteryear. From a solid gold boombox, to jewel crusted crowns, drum machines, and outboard gear, S-Dub is here to confront the generational disconnect, as spelled out on the Eric Rico featured "Grown Man Hustle" -- "Some of these young boys consider me a throwback, I birthed your style you need to give me my flow back," spits S-Dub. When explaining the album cover, Shabaam states: "Imagine the world came to an end in an apocalypse and some kids survived in a bunker. Now when the dust settles and the smoke is gone, the kids come out the bunker and discover a treasure chest in an old music store that contains all the elements of Hip-Hop, and started having fun with it." Whether you see it as a time capsule or the last defense of Hip-Hop's watchmen, Keepers Of The Lost Art could be played ten years ago, today, and ten years from now with high praise. 

'Keepers of the Lost Art' includes guest features from the likes of Tragedy Khadafi, REKS, El Gant, Wais P, Sha Stimuli, Skyzoo, F.T., Mic Handz, General DV (DV Alias Khrist), Spit Gemz, and Bekay among others, and becomes available April 22nd via digital download and CD, through Below System.

@Coubo is now 20 years old and he has continuously evolved as a musician. The debut of his sophomore release, Savour, is a prime example of how he has taken aspects of his personal life and transformed it into something positive to share with us all. Coubo has the uncanny ability to suck your heart, soul, and imagination into the soundscape that he has created via his music, melting away all anxiety. His music has a sincerely genuine, soulful purity to it that is hard to match. 

This album is something that can be taken to the dance floor or played in a room with a bunch of friends for a chill out session. Whether it's a high energy track or something more tranquil, the indistinguishable Coubo factor that permeates throughout his music is ever-present, having a calming and thought-provoking effect on the engaged listener. This is contemplative music while simultaneously being seckzie, unique, and soulful. 

We hope that you have a pleasurable experience whilst listening to this album. It comes from Russia with love.

7-Inch Vinyl (Fat Beats): http://bit.ly/EasterVinyl

Coalmine Records is excited to announce the limited-edition vinyl release of the Artifacts’ highly regarded 2012 single, “Easter,” which marked the group’s first official release in more than 15 years.

Initially released as a digital single on April 3, 2012 (the Tuesday before Easter Sunday), the track later appeared on Coalmine’s decennary compilation, 'Unearthed,' which dropped May 13, 2014. 

However you heard it—one thing was very clear: despite their time apart, Artifacts emcees Tame One and El Da Sensei sounded as fresh as ever on “Easter.” The New Jersey rappers’ venomous flows are boosted by the neck-breaking production of acclaimed North Carolina producer Khrysis. Making the cipher complete is the turntable work of DJ Dutchmaster, who provides the scratch hook and outro cuts.

With this release, “Easter” makes its grand return in the physical form in a limited-edition white vinyl pressing that also includes the instrumental track on the flip. It also takes things back to the old-school by way of a front jacket hole that exposes the label (the heads know what’s up).

Complex Premiere: http://bit.ly/ZRpsF4
As Coalmine Records gets closer to the 2nd Quarter release of their long awaited compilation, Unearthed, the Brooklyn indie drops the project's next single, "Naturally Born," which features Q-Borough mic veterans Big Noyd, Large Professor and Kool G Rap. Produced by the legendary Queens-based beatsmith Ayatollah, the soundscape is rooted in a Golden Era motif that boasts a scratch chorus courtesy of DJ Dutchmaster, who blends quotables from other Queens County icons such as Run-D.M.C., Nas, N.O.R.E., Royal Flush and Prodigy. 

Stay tuned for more leaks off 'Unearthed,' which includes appearances from Pharoahe Monch, Blu, Sean Price, The Artifacts, Apathy, Rah Digga, Fashawn, Billy Danze (of M.O.P.), Torae and more. Producers tapped include Nottz, M-Phazes, !llmind, Khrysis, Young Cee, Ayatollah, G-Squared and BeanOne, among others.
