December 30, 2001 by Jeff

Happy New Year! First off, good wishes to everybody everywhere. Second, thanks to all the fans, friends and supporters that made what we’re doing possible.

BRAND NEW FOR 2002

Street date: January 15, 2002 Qwel "Face Value" 12"

Q-who on wax? The brand new cut "Face Value" produced by Jackson Jones, plus "Proof 101" (produced by Meaty Ogre) & "If It Ain’t Been In A Pawn Shop, Then It Can’t Play The Blues" (produced by Dwight Lightnin). 12" wax also includes instrumentals for "Face Value" & "Proof 101". Bangin. Those who’ve sought after vinyl from Qwel will see it was worth the wait... we should have these available to sell at the Metro show. Word is Meaty & Dwight will be backing Qwel dressed as French Maids playing only instruments made from chicken parts, plus a few beats... one way or the other it’s gonna be ILL. Come out and see... and come early.

Himself - PROVIDENCE PLAYS NO FAVORITES CD
December 1, 2001 by Jeff

Coming off the strength of THE NETHERWORLDS LP, one third of that trio, HIMSELF, is dropping his debut solo album on GALAPAGOS4. "PROVIDENCE PLAYS NO FAVORITES" shows this prolific MC’s talents as a songwriter, while keeping up that bump you’re expecting. HIMSELF digs deep and offers up heart and soul in his lyrics. Whether rapping introspectively or snapping off at the lip, it is never in vain. The beats knock with that LA to Chicago vibe, with ANACRON handling most, and DJ PNS, DJ White Lightning, Justin Tewn & Aloe all stepping in with one banger. "Providence" is sure to keep all fans of THE NETHERWORLDS satiated and attract those looking for the soul to be brought back to hip-hop. Cop it now on the product page!
