If you’ve read this far, you’re probably aware of the former two categories - now on to the jazz.

Hot of the success of Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt, producer extraordinaire Ski was on fire Includes 18” X 24” poster when he flipped Dynasty’s “Adventures In The Land of Music” for ’s breakout illustrated by artist Dr. Revolt 1996 smash single “Luchini aka This Is It”. The same year saw Camp Lo opening shows (as seen below) for De La Soul during their Stakes is High tour. Combine that with the fact that Ish aka Butterfly from Digable Planets had cosigned for the group’s reputation and would appear on of the tracks (in addition to Trugoy from De La), there became a huge buzz around their debut album Uptown Saturday Night.

Fast forward a few months to January 1997 and the heavily anticipated release of Camp Lo’s first record, which did not disappoint. It struck the perfect balance between club tracks and underground bangers for the mixtape crowd. Critically acclaimed and fan approved, this late 90s must-have was complimented by the incredible cover art illustrated by legendary NYC graffiti artist Dr. Revolt that paid homage to Marvin Gaye’s 1976 classic I Want You. It’s hard to believe in the time of Puffy’s heyday, Camp Lo had developed and delivered a style of Hip Hop that was not only fresh and creative, but also straight up dope. Flipping intricate rhyme styles over some of Rap’s finer beats, the fact that Camp Lo got main stream radio play and love from big time club DJ’s is a testament to the essence of what Hip Hop was once about: raw talent and originality!

Produced by Hadley Murrell

In the annals of , few names command the majesty and the mystery of The Servicemen, the four-part R’n’B vocal group based at Luke Air Force Base west of Phoenix, Arizona, who recorded several flawless sides in 1966 and 1967 before dispersing to points unknown.

Today, the handful of properly released Servicemen songs such as “Are You Angry,” “I Need a Helping Hand” and “My Turn” are acknowledged internationally as all-time classics, particularly among England’s “Northern Soul” enthusiasts. But it took years for those obscure records, which scarcely attracted any attention at the time but are now worth hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars to hardcore collectors, to earn their reputation and percolate to the top of music lovers’ want lists. With every spin at a soul all-nighter, every sky-high bid in a rare record auction, and every unauthorized bootleg repressing, the Servicemen’s legend grew.

This CD release aims to fully satisfy the Servicemen’s fans’ appetite, presenting the public with the most complete musical portrait of the group to date. Details about the group’s personnel remain frustratingly elusive, but for the first time their revelatory a cappella audition for producer Hadley Murrell and other powerful lost tracks from the vaults are accessible by the masses.
