Thievery Corporation – Sounds From The Thievery Hi-Fi (1996), 2xLP, Reissue

Thievery Corporation – Sounds From The Thievery Hi-Fi (1996), 2xLP, Reissue

The debut album from Thievery Corporation was released in 1997 as a first-of-its-kind electronica record. The phrase “trip-hop” was coined in 1994 during the influx of alt-rock techno music and perfectly describes the acid-jazz tracks that make up the album. With a blend of lounge, electronic, and folk influences, this is a listening experience that caters to everyone. The remastered album features signature track “Shaolin Satellite” and bonus tracks “Sun, Moon, and Stars” and “Sleeper Car.”

Lil’ Baby – It’s Only Me (2022), 2xLP

Lil’ Baby – It’s Only Me (2022), 2xLP

This marks Baby’s first solo album since 2020’s My Turn, which debuted at No. 1 and was certified 4x platinum, logging 85 weeks in the top 10 of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Back in June 2021, he teamed up with Lil Durk for their joint album The Voice of the Heroes. Although Lil Baby hadn’t dropped a full album since last summer’s Lil Durk collaboration ‘The Voice of the Heroes’, or a solo record since his 2020’s ‘My Turn’, he’s continued to shake up the hip-hop zeitgeist. Over the past two years, he’s dropped show-stealing verses on Pop Smoke, Drake and Nicki Minaj tracks as well as chronicling his rise to fame in the Amazon Prime documentary Untrapped: The Story of Lil Baby.
