Brand New Heavies -– Heavy Rhyme Experience: Vol. 1 LP white, import

A must-have for any hip-hop fan’s record collection, Heavy Rhyme Experience: Vol. 1 returns to vinyl after more than a decade. The sophomore album from British acid jazz band the Brand New Heavies features a host of collaborations. Long ahead of its time when it was released in 1992, the album includes airtight rhymes by the likes of Gang Starr (“It’s Gettin’ Hectic”), The Pharcyde (“Soul Flower”), Kool G. Rap (“Death Threat”), and Masta Ace Incorporated (“Wake Me When I’m Dead”), all underscored by the Brand New Heavies’ live, laid-back grooves.
