Cosmo Baker & Scott Melker
Live At The Spotlite (New Jack Swing) CD
 
format: CD

lab price: $9.00
available: yes
item #: cd-2208

 First off, this mixtape is THE SHIT, but I think you could've figured that out by just looking at the title. It's a full 74 minutes of classic New Jack Swing tracks, mixed by The CMB – aka The Rub's Cosmo Baker...   expand review  and his man Scott Melker, who you probably know from his Lab best-selling Sexual Chocolate mixtape. Anyway, yeah, do you really need to be convinced? "Rump Shaker" leads this thing off, and the boys never look back from there: "Don't Be Cruel," "Ain't Too Proud 2 Beg," "I Like It" (Dino!), "New Jack City," "Do Me," "I Want Her," "Poison," goddamn! If you need convincing, let me say one word you probably haven't heard in far too lon: "Motownphilly." Just buy it already! Here it comes... Recommended. -Chris Lemon-Red

Mister Cee
Notorious BIG: 10 Year Anniversary 2CD
 
format: 2CD

lab price: $11.00
available: yes
item #: cd-2229

 Mister Cee is already known for making the greatest Biggie street tape of all time (Best of Notorious BIG), so it's only fitting that he expands upon that release with the double disc 10 year anniversary edition. This thing is freaking intense,...   expand review  packing 71 (yes, 71) Biggie rarities, cameos, freestyles, etc. And it's all presented in a masterful NYC-style quick mix (direct and to the point, no time for shorts). If you're lucky enough to catch an authentic nyc quick mix set, it's a pretty badass sight to see. I actually saw Mister Cee do one at an Ego Trip party years back, and while the chicken heads were complaining (let the song play out), every DJ in the room was sitting there stunned (Stretch also has sick quick-mix skills). Anyway, recommended. -the mgmnt
