Apart from segments previewed at the Grammys and late-night television appearances, there was no formal promotion. A postscript, it's (artfully) artless in presentation -- not even basic credits appear on the Army green liner card in the compact disc edition -- yet it's almost as lyrically and musically rich as To Pimp a Butterfly. The dates indicate that the majority of the material was made during the sessions for that album, and the presence of many of its players and vocalists is unmistakable. This was assembled with a high level of care that is immediately evident, its components sequenced to foster an easy listen. Track-to-track flow, however, is about the only aspect of this release that can be called smooth. After an intimate spoken intro from Bilal, the set segues into an urgent judgment-day scenario with squealing strings and a resounding bassline as Lamar confronts mortality and extinction with urgent exasperation. He observes terrifying scenes all the while sensing possible relief (\"No more running from world wars,\" \"No more discriminating the poor\"). untitled unmastered. offers this and other variations on the connected themes of societal ills, faith, and survival that drove the output it follows, with Lamar at his best when countering proudly materialistic boasts with ever-striking acknowledgments of the odds perilously weighted against his people. Remarkably, this hits its stride in the second half. The stretch involves a rolling, ornamented retro-contemporary production from Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (with vocal assists from Bilal and Cee Lo Green), a stitched suite that is alternately stern and humorously off the cuff (featuring Egypt, five-year-old son of Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz, as co-producer and vocalist), and a finale of Thundercat-propelled funk. Even while coasting over the latter's breezy and smacking groove, Lamar fills the space with meaning, detailing a confrontation with sharp quips and stinging reprimands. While Lamar referred to these tracks as demos, and not one of them has the pop-soul appeal of \"These Walls\" or the Black Lives Matter protest-anthem potential of \"Alright,\" untitled unmastered. is no mere offcut dump. It's as vital as anything else its maker has released. ~ Andy Kellman\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kendrick Lamar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884827320401,"sku":"S2H416-SD1H-00","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Kendrick-Lamar-Untitled-Unmastered_u2rQF.jpg?v=1762464681"},{"product_id":"kendrick-lamar-kendrick-lamar-mr-morale-the-big-steppers-explicit-180g-vinyl","title":"Kendrick Lamar Mr. Morale \u0026 The Big Steppers [Explicit] (180g) [Vinyl]","description":"Kendrick Lamar - Kendrick Lamar Mr. Morale \u0026amp; The Big Steppers [Explicit] (180g) [Records \u0026amp; LPs] \u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 602445926015 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e United in Grief\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e N95\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Worldwide Steppers\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e Die Hard Ft.

Fortunately for Kanye West, his verbal skills more than rise to the challenge of his consistently superior beats. A sprawling concept record that tackles issues of everyday life with wisecracking humor and unexpected honesty, THE COLLEGE DROPOUT confirms West's status as one of hip-hop's most refreshing voices. The leadoff single, \"Through the Wire,\" perfectly exemplifies West's distinct vision. Recorded while his jaws were still wired shut after a near-fatal car accident, West hilariously reflects upon his predicament over a sped-up Chaka Khan sample. Other songs address potentially somber topics--ghetto life (\"We Don't Care\"), religion (\"Jesus Walks\"), and family turmoil (\"Family Business\")--yet somehow retain a truly hopeful spirit.

The title was a nod to both leaking their own music as well as to the golden era hip-hop that inspired them. It sounded uniquely different from Atmosphere's recordings around this time. Ant was back digging into the funk \u0026amp; soul crates, producing sample driven tracks that sounded as if they were birthed alongside early hip-hop classics. Slug was rapping with a renewed passion, yet somehow sounded more casual and carefree, delivering endless wordplay with more technical rhyme patterns than their recent releases. Together, they created 13 exclusive songs that sounded as if they were having fun flexing different creative muscles without the pressure of any official album expectations – undoubtedly as rewarding an exercise for themselves as it was for the listeners. Soon after release, Strictly Leakage was briefly pressed on a limited run of vinyl and CD, but it wasn't long before they sold out, and fans were left chasing streams and digital files in order to hear it. Finally, the project returns to vinyl and CD so fans everywhere can own and appreciate this unique chapter in Atmosphere's story.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 05\/17\/2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 05\/17\/2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 826257038913\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Rhymesayers Entertainment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Atmosphere","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41892398661713,"sku":"UD9VHV-NNCH-00","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/strictly-leakage-2lp_yMaAK.jpg?v=1759469981"},{"product_id":"kendrick-lamar-kendrick-lamar-damn-2lp-black-vinyl-vinyl","title":"Kendrick Lamar Damn (2LP, Black Vinyl) [Vinyl]","description":"Kendrick Lamar - Kendrick Lamar Damn (2LP, Black Vinyl) [Records \u0026amp; LPs] \u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 602557618280 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo Pimp a Butterfly's proper and oft-biblical follow-up arrived on Good Friday, 13 months after untitled unmastered., an intermediary release that eclipsed the best work of most contemporary artists. If Kendrick Lamar felt pressure to continue living up to his previous output, there's no evidence on DAMN. He's too occupied tracing the spectrum of his mental states, from \"boxin' demons\" to \"flex on swole,\" questioning and reveling in his affluence, castigating and celebrating his bloodline, humble enough to relate his vulnerabilities, assured enough to proclaim \"Ain't none of y'all fuckin' with the flow.\" Throughout, he intensely examines most of the seven deadly sins, aware all along that his existence is threatened by anyone who objects to the color of his skin or clothes -- or, in the case of the blind stranger who shoots him during the album's opener, nothing that is apparent. Compared to the maximum-capacity, genre-twisting vastness and winding narratives of Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City and To Pimp a Butterfly, DAMN. on the surface seems like a comparatively simple rap album that demands less from the listener. There's relative concision in the track titles and material, and a greater emphasis on commercial sounds -- such as Mike WiLL's lean and piano-laced trap beat for the strong-arming \"HUMBLE.,\" Lamar's first Top Ten pop hit, and a couple productions that are merely functional backdrops lacking distinction. In a way, however, DAMN. is just as lavish and singular as the preceding albums, its quantity and weight of thoughts and connected concepts condensed into a considerably tighter space. It contains some of Lamar's best writing and performances, revealing his evolving complexity and versatility as a soul-baring lyricist and dynamic rapper. Although it's occasionally distorted, stretched, smeared, and reversed to compelling and imagination-fueling effect, his voice is at its most affecting in its many untreated forms. Take \"FEAR.,\" in which he switches between echoing hot-blooded parental threats to enumerating, with a 40-acre stare, various death scenarios.

Rappers love him for coining the phrase \"Party and Bullshit\" decades ago - but this is not that - this is a sacred journey with a universal message for all people regardless of their background and nationality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL SPOKEN-WORD GROUPS THAT PIONEERED HIP-HOP NPR\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEXPERIMENTING WITH STREET POETRY AND PERCUSSIVE SOUND, THE MUSIC OF HARLEMS LAST POETS HELPED LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR HIP-HOP ROLLING STONE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide A\r A1 Rain (Featuring Taylor Pace)\r A2 My Life\r A3 A Poem\r Side B\r B1 Harlem\r B2 Brooklyn (featuring Ade da Poet)\r B3 To Begin (featuring Pharoah Davis)\r Side C\r C1 Praise the Lord\r C2 Spirit (featuring Melodie Nicole)\r C3 Without You (featuring Jessica Care Moore)\r Side D\r D1 Occupy (featuring Mosi)\r D2  Right Here Waiting (featuring J Ivy)\r D3 What I Want to See\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD Capacity wallet + interview booklet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rap \u0026amp; Hip-Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Abiodun Oyewole","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42027389026385,"sku":"8MKR4S-Y45X-YM","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/abiodun-oyewole-graititude_AvoRq.jpg?v=1759474996"},{"product_id":"cadence-weapon-hope-in-dirt-city-cd","title":"Hope In Dirt City (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCadence Weapon continues to firmly establish his legacy as a sonic pioneer while constantly pushing the rap and electronic music envelope.

While most youths were struggling to focus on a sneaker brand for more than a week, the young (and underage) Pemberton would slip into clubs to play shows with Spank Rock, Lady Sovereign, Jurassic 5, TTC, New Pornographers, Final Fantasy, and De La Soul. He rocked guest performances with The Klaxons, Hot Chip and Islands; he remixed Lady Sovereign, Kid Sister, Disco D, Busdriver, Rick Ross\/Simian Mobile Disco; hes been featured on tracks with Buck 65, Anti MC, A-Trak, Shout Out Out Out Out and Shuttle. He inked deals with legendary labels, Epitaph USA and Big Dada for the UK and Europe; all before he was barely legal.Pembertons explosive debut was an impossibly accomplished hip-hop album stacked with clever writing and impressive rhymes, paired with the electro-tones of UK grime and West Coast hip-hop. The album yielded instant praise and notoriety, culminating in nominations from the Polaris Music Prize (modeled after the Mercury Prize), the Canadian Indie Awards and Best Rap Album of 2006 at the Plug Independent Music Awards, and won the CBC Radio 3s Bucky Award.

Though, in true Shad fashion, he saw something much more profound within its basic round boundaries. ‚ÄúThe thing that inspired this record was this image in my mind of a circle, but it‚Äôs getting fragmented, and then the pieces start floating away from each other,‚Äù he explains. ‚ÄúAnd that felt to me like a picture of ourselves as individuals. If you think of our humanity as one whole, there‚Äôs all these different aspects of that, whether that‚Äôs work, or our relationship to the land, or our relationship to the transcendent, or our relationship to our bodies, or to our inner child?‚ÄùOn a track-by-track basis, TAO examines the many different fragments that make up who we are, forsaking the explicit narrative connectivity of A Short Story About a War for a more implicit thematic framework. And where its predecessor‚Äôs intense subject matter naturally channeled a more intense, even aggressive spirit, the looser structure of TAO allows Shad to return to his ‚Äúnatural strike zone‚Äù of more playful, block-rocking bops‚Äîthe sort of tracks that might make you smile and snicker even as they unpack such thorny topics as race, capitalism, and technological dependency.TAO was actually written and recorded before the COVID-19 pandemic forced us into hiding, however, the events of the past year have only amplified the album‚Äôs sense of currency and relevancy. As Shad notes, ‚ÄúCOVID is almost not like a new situation‚Äîit just sort of accelerated what was already happening in terms of isolation and precarity of work.‚Äù But now that vaccines are allowing us to take our first steps back to the lives we once knew, TAO‚Äôs arrival is perfectly timed for a world that‚Äôs ready to laugh, hug, and dance together again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOut of Touch\r GOD\r Work\r TAO Pt 1\r Slot Machines\r Slow\r Body (No reason)\r Storm\r TAO Pt 2\r Black Averageness\r Gar√ßon\r TAO Pt 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD Cd inserted in a Jewel Case - Poster folded with lyrics included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rap \u0026amp; Hip-Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Shad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42032132259921,"sku":"644BA4-MIVD-JR","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/shad-tao_gZkPA.jpg?v=1762495824"},{"product_id":"shad-a-short-story-about-a-war-cd","title":"A Short Story About A War (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eShad is a Canadian rapper with four solo albums under his belt, one R\u0026amp;B side-project, a Master‚Äôs degree and numerous accolades.

Group members yasiin bey and Talib Kweli first joined forces to deliver their iconic breakout, Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star, which quickly became one of hip-hop's most revered works and launched both already-rising stars into the stratosphere. Although each has since enjoyed success and acclaim in their individual careers, they've never realigned for a sophomore follow-up to that release until now.Produced entirely by renowned beatsmith Madlib, No Fear of Time has a future vibe with vintage soul. The 9-track album was recorded guerrilla-style in hotels and dressing rooms around the globe, and initially saw a non-traditional release, being made available exclusively on a subscription-based podcast platform. Now, the album is officially available on physical formats for fans worldwide to own and appreciate the triumphant return of Black Star.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 11\/22\/2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 11\/22\/2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Rhymesayers Entertainment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Black Star","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42243463086161,"sku":"DTWAN6-L3BT-00","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/no-fear-of-time_MaVVP.jpg?v=1762517418"},{"product_id":"queen-latifah-all-hail-the-queen-limited-edition-colored-vinyl-red-140-gram-vinyl-vinyl","title":"All Hail the Queen (Limited Edition, Colored Vinyl, Red, 140 Gram Vinyl) (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAll Hail the Queen (Limited Edition, Colored Vinyl, Red, 140 Gram Vinyl) is a undefined Records \u0026amp; LPs from Queen Latifah\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Queen Latifah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42243754131537,"sku":"93MN3D-Z26N-00","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Queen-Latifah-All-Hail-the-Queen-Limited-Edition-Colored-Vinyl-Red-140-Gram-Vinyl_iHInP.jpg?v=1762518620"},{"product_id":"atmosphere-word-explicit-content-2-lps-vinyl","title":"WORD?

Cole's disinterest in supplying listeners with an entertaining diversion, the dystopian cereal-box-look of the follow-up, replete with an obvious disclaimer, should get the point across. Moreover, the acronymic title of the rapper\/producer's fifth album stands for Kids on Drugs, King Overdosed, and Kill Our Demons. Unremittingly joyless, the set is nonetheless commendable for an absence of creative compromise and reflects the time as accurately as any other contemporaneous release. It's related exclusively by an alternately cold-blooded and nearly desensitized Cole, twice present in pitched-down form as a hollowed-out addict named kiLL edward. Only one track is neither produced nor co-produced by Cole. The beats are often listless and skeletal, accessorized with bleary keyboards, fitting no one's conception of ear candy, though they complement the lyrical content. The primary theme indeed is addiction -- not only to chemicals, but to technology and consumerism as well -- with contextual allusions to its causes and bleak illustrations of its effects. Most compelling of all is \"Once an Addict,\" a regretful reflection on struggling as a child and young man to cope with the toll heartbreak and alcohol took on his mother. Cole's few departures from the narrative method are sometimes for the worse, such as the point on \"KOD\" where he gets combative about the lack of guests on his records and deflates boastful rationale with some of his weakest wordplay. Two other instances conversely make for highlights. \"Brackets\" sharply turns from a millionaire bleating about paying taxes to a detailed treatise on who does and doesn't benefit from the process. Finale \"1985 (Intro to 'The Fall Off')\" is straight talk directed at a certain sect of younger commercial rappers, mixing sharp cultural commentary with condescension and guidance: \"These white kids love that you don't give a fuck\/'Cause that's exactly what's expected when your skin black.\" As the value of Cole's witticisms, and the intellect required to decrypt full meaning of his verses, continues to be debated, the increased strength in his clear-cut writing evinces promise of greater work ahead. ~ Andy Kellman\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rap \u0026amp; Hip-Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"J Cole","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42244332912721,"sku":"0OLO7X-J0O1-00","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/J-Cole-KOD-EXSTDBLK-_fXcXx.jpg?v=1762520101"},{"product_id":"logic-vinyl-days-2-lp-vinyl","title":"Vinyl Days [2 LP] (Vinyl)","description":"TracksCredits\r\n- Disc 1 -\r\n1 Danger\r\n2 Tetris\r\n3 In My Lifetime\r\n4 Decades\r\n5 JJ Abrahams\r\n6 Blackwhiteboy\r\n7 Quasi\r\n8 Bleed It\r\n9 Ladonda\r\n- Disc 2 -\r\n1 Aaron Judge\r\n2 Clouds\r\n3 Michael Rap\r\n4 Therapy Music\r\n5 Tony Revolori\r\n6 Rogue One\r\n7 Breath Control\r\n8 Nems\r\n9 Nardwuar\r\n- Disc 3 -\r\n1 Kickstyle\r\n2 Earlybird\r\n3 Ten Years\r\n4 Porta One\r\n5 Needledrop\r\n6 Introducing Nezi\r\n7 Orville\r\n8 Carnival\r\n- Disc 4 -\r\n1 Lena's Insight\r\n2 Vinyl Days\r\n3 I Guess I Love It\r\n4 Sayonara\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 11\/04\/2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Logic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42244405592145,"sku":"I0QRSO-W4CW-00","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Logic-Vinyl-Days-2-LP_gvbXr.jpg?v=1762520243"},{"product_id":"atmosphere-gods-bathroom-floor-7-single-vinyl","title":"God's Bathroom Floor (7\" Single) (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eInitially written and recorded when Atmosphere and fledgling label Rhymesayers Entertainment were still making a name for themselves in the Minneapolis hip-hop scene, \"God's Bathroom Floor\" was an early standout for the group. Turning heads and drawing new fans in with Slug's introspective raps over producer Stress' hypnotic jazzy beat, the song was performed live frequently, becoming an audience favorite before ever appearing on an actual release. Even then, it was only a live performance they made available, and only on a limited mixtape they released in 1996. It would be another year before the 4-track studio recording would surface on Atmosphere's Overcast! EP, a collection of focus tracks promoting their debut full-length album, but \"God's Bathroom Floor\" never made it onto the album itself and slowly slipped into obscurity from there. Now, in celebration of it's 25th anniversary, the original recording has been unearthed, remastered, and pressed on this limited edition 7-inch vinyl. Plus, in a nod to the song's original release as a live version, we've included a new live performance of the song, recorded recently in Montreal, mixed and mastered exclusively for this special release. Whether you're a lifelong fan whose first introduction to the group was through this song, a new fan looking to explore the group's historical roots further, or somewhere in between, this release will be a welcome addition to your Atmosphere collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Atmosphere","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42244432396369,"sku":"WFGAV4-DSRL-00","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Atmosphere-Gods-Bathroom-Floor-7-Single_oMD3H.jpg?v=1762520348"},{"product_id":"brother-ali-satisfied-soul-deluxe-edition-marbled-sky-blue-vinyl-vinyl","title":"Satisfied Soul (Deluxe Edition, Marbled Sky Blue Vinyl) (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSatisfied Soul (Deluxe Edition, Marbled Sky Blue Vinyl) is a undefined Records \u0026amp; LPs from Brother Ali\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 03\/21\/2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailability: Pre-Order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rap \u0026amp; Hip-Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Brother Ali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42276982882385,"sku":"HOHGMA-TPJZ-GD","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/brother-ali-satisfied-soul-deluxe-edition-marbled-sky-blue-vinyl_nglAE.jpg?v=1762521671"},{"product_id":"brother-ali-satisfied-soul-deluxe-edition-vinyl","title":"Satisfied Soul (Deluxe Edition) (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSatisfied Soul (Deluxe Edition) is a undefined Records \u0026amp; LPs from Brother Ali\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rap \u0026amp; Hip-Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailability: Pre-Order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 03\/21\/2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Brother Ali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42276982915153,"sku":"ZXAIVN-NKBH-VW","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/brother-ali-satisfied-soul-deluxe-edition_D3exH.jpg?v=1762521671"},{"product_id":"brother-ali-satisfied-soul-deluxe-edition-cd","title":"Satisfied Soul (Deluxe Edition) (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSatisfied Soul (Deluxe Edition) is a undefined Music CDs from Brother Ali\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailability: Pre-Order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 03\/21\/2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rap \u0026amp; Hip-Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Brother Ali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42283555979345,"sku":"SQUAE6-YWKH-YY","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/brother-ali-satisfied-soul-deluxe-edition_cD9Xs.jpg?v=1762522780"},{"product_id":"mckinley-dixon-magic-alive-cd","title":"Magic, Alive!
