A Tribe Called Quest
People's Instinctive Travels And The Paths Of Rhythm

Brazilian drumming legend Ivan ‘Mamão’ Conti has been experimenting and innovating for the last half a century. As one-third of cult Rio jazz-funk trio Azymuth, Mamão was at the root of the group’s ‘samba doido’ (crazy samba) philosophy, bringing jazz influences and spacey electronics to traditional samba. Poison Fruit is his first album in over twenty years and his first on vinyl since 1984, save for his dope collaborative piece with hip-hop royalty Madlib under the shared moniker ‘Jackson Conti’. Expect rootsy, electronic samba and tripped-out jazz, beats and dance music. Comes on RSD special splattered vinyl with 2 unreleased tracks on a bonus 7"!

At just 17, Aaliyah released her second album and was already one of the most commanding artists in modern R&B, all while finishing drama school and preparing to star in Romeo Must Die. Linking up with Missy Elliot and Timbaland on a number of tracks, this 1996 2xLP was a bold step up from her debut with a future-leaning sound. With OG pressings asking for a lot, this reissue is a chance to cop a pivotal piece of R&B history on wax. Essential!
