Kendra Morris "I'm Real (ft. Godforbid)"

It's taken a hot minute to get The Believers together to the quality expected of Slice Of Spice, but with the recent release of the x2CD, and vinyl soon, it's time to lift-off for this incredible project. "Awful", produced by D.I.T.C. affiliate, Ahmed, is our pick of the bunch on the x2LP, but with production by Lord Finesse, Showbiz, Buckwild, T-Ray and more...it's six of one and half a dozen of the other...DON'T SLEEP!

This project is 20 years in the making for Milano as it includes his previously unreleased D.I.T.C. produced album, The Believers, from 1999, his original demos under the name of Ambush and more tracks, produced out on the west coast with the legendary, T-Ray. Once you hear these tracks...you know this is an instant classic!

We've painstakingly put together and restored a total of 30 tracks, across a x2LP, x2CD and 45 Re-issue and Bonus Single. The Believers x2LP and Deluxe Edition Double Disc CD are both finished to the highest degree with heavy vinyl, gatefold jackets and gold foil trimming...we've gone all out. DON'T SLEEP!

"Rep For The Slums" is a bonafide underground classic and was Milano's D.I.T.C. debut behind Ahmed's monster beat. There was no way we weren't going to give this a 45 press, but to keep things fresh (and unique) we dug in the digital crates and restored the previously unreleased "My Niggaz", once again produced by Ahmed. This track not only compliments the A Side...it pushes it!

This is the latest installment in my Soul Supreme series. Not a "traditional r&b" mix; more what I would call Future Soul or something. Focus is on giving some lesser-known yet still super talented artists some burn while maintaining the same "sound" throughout the mix. Anyways, just a laid back mix you'd relax to with a cup of coffee, clean the house to, play at work without worrying about offending anyone, put on during a sunny drive, etc. Hope you dig it.

SSR-FD003 - K-Def - "I Need A Job (K-Defstrumental)"

K-Def is not only one of the most legendary DJ/Producers in hip-hop history, he's STILL one of the most prolific. If you don't already know by now he's got a ton of vinyl releases coming out this year through, Slice Of Spice and ReDefinition Records. SUPPORT!

SLICE OF SPICE vs K-DEF: http://sliceofspice.bigcartel.com/category/k-def
REDEF vs K-DEF: http://www.redefinitionrecords.com/collections/k-def

This track is a beat that didn't make it on to the forthcoming "The Program Project" with Slice Of Spice, dropping in May, featuring NJ EMCEE DaCapo, but it's one we simply had to share with y'all. If someone told you "Yo! K-Def recorded a track processing his own voice through Auto-Tune", a whole different set of responses would be expected...but the end result is amazing!
