CHECK OUT THESE NEW CONCICE RELEASES FROM SWERVE 36 and DIVINE PROFITZ's CHADRACH - AVAILABLE NOW
HAJI P w/ FATMAN and TROPICAL- Monkey Junk CD
He's pretty freakin' amazing. But what makes him so special, huh? Is it his ineptly remarkable charisma on stage? His works with pseudo international superstars? Maybe its his cute little rap songs with moderately amusing stories and reasonably clever punchlines? Nope. All of that is actually pretty unimpressive. He still has to bum quarters to take the bus home, and he's astoundingly close to earning a credit score of 16.5. He hasnt changed the game, sold any particular drug of choice or metaphysically assassinated a lyricists nucleo-essence. He is however, 1/2 of NC based cool kid rap tandem, "Brown Co" and 1/5 of Northern Cali's debaucherous rhyme team, "Rec League." He makes rap music, draws funny pictures and loves cookies.and we think thats just great. Check him out and you'll probably agree.

SWERVE 36 - Thanks But No Thanks CD
Swerve 36 is a veteran of Richmond, VA's independent hip hop scene. Shit, by some standards, Swerve may predate the existence of an independent hip hop scene. All the experience pays off on this release as the DJ turned MC demonstrates lyricism that can be appreciated by fans of both the golden era of hip hop and the modern underground, and touching on topics such as war, his home (Richmond VA), relationships, and the state of the world.sometimes with a touch of humor, sometimes dead serious.
Features a cast of producers including: Swerve 36, himself; Manifest; Chadrach

Divine Profitz present CHADRACH - Soul Search CD
This is the solo effort from the revolutionary producer/MC of Richmond's prized group, Divine Profitz. This album is a instrospective look at spirituality, nostalgia, music history, relationships, politics, and the common man's struggles. All this over some of the best production in independent hip hop. Chadrach is an intellectual one-man revolutionary army, fully backed by his crew of molotov-throwing lyricists.

SWORDPLAY - Cellars and Attics CD
On Swordplay's first full length release he demonstrates his growth in all aspects of his quirky, but grounded hip hop. His production has developed into a sound all it's own. His lyricism is unbelievable and ranges from the abstract to the witty social commentary he is known for, and his delivery has become one of the most original you could imagine. 13 tracks produced by Swordplay, engineered by Chuck Hall of Ill Dialects with appearances by Murk One, Martinnealreamy, and Homemade Knives.

OUT OF PRINT
This EP is the debut release for both Concice and for Swordplay, once dubbed "Richmond's freshest kid." Interesting lyrics and delivery provide a new perspective on heartbreak, drugs, intoxicated apologies to cops, and life as a disillusioned, but worldly, young urbanite living in the RVA.
