Hey, that reminds me, it could be Little Brother - May The Lord Watch. Another release Nathan hated. They kept saying the vinyl was coming, but it has been radio silence for a while.
Slander. Is it Mick's best work? No. But it's definitely miles better than a lot of stuff I see people dying for here (re: Die Lit and Fever). ButI really hope it isn’t this album! Such a forgettable release of 2018!
How about Jay Electronica?

If they pressed the new album, I'd resub in a heartbeat
Fever is awesome. No way its better than Fever but hey that's subjective maaannnSlander. Is it Mick's best work? No. But it's definitely miles better than a lot of stuff I see people dying for here (re: Die Lit and Fever). But

Fully agree it's miles better than those albums, it was one of my favorites of 2018 and VMP's existing relationship with Mick increases the possibility, or at least I hope. I re-subbed for El-P, and to get that, Blackalicious, and a Mick album I've wanted since it came out is about as perfect a trio of releases, for my taste, as is possible. Noname's Room 25 would be amazing too, if you're going to repeat might as well go back to one of the top 3 RHH albums they've released.
Listening to this now. This was an era was I was decidedly NOT listening to R&HH. Really missed out. I really liked Blazing Arrow. Nia is really good too, I don't like it as much as Blazing Arrow, but still solid.

Die Lit would be the worst ROTM they’ve done across any tracks.

Are you serious.....?!?!?!
That album is so intoxicating, stylish and has that late night à la mode aesthetic! The minimal, woozy gets sharp production exudes so much swagger without doing much!
I love Playboi Carti’s energetic, frigid and stiff delivery! His baby cartoonish vocals paired with the production is seriously unique!
Personally, it would be one of the best R&HH ROTM’s to date if it was selected!
Trust me, that is NEVER going to happen!
Unique owns the rights but doesn't have physical possession of any masters so the only source material to master the LP from is the one known test pressing in existence (the whereabouts of the other two has never been established)... everything we've done has been remastered from vinyl sources... I have mp3s of the LP and quite a few other unreleased cuts but I'm not pressing anything from mp3s... to be honest thought most of the tracks you would want have been put out by us across our various Unique releases... some of which are pricier than others admittedly!
More to the point, it's not a release VMP would be interested in, I've tried engaging with them on stocking some more interesting hip-hop releases, at least so there's some decent swaps in the 'bad' months and they seem to have no interest whatsoever in the sort of stuff we do... maybe one day...

Interesting, thanks for the insight. Weird that VMP wouldn't want to carry those titles but that's probably sample clearance issues, no? I'd probably subscribe if they had some titles you guys put out. You did the Fabreze Brothers album or was that someone else? Definitely need to get my hands on that.
Yeah I suspect sample clearance certainly has something to do with it... it was a friend of ours in the UK who did the Fabreeze, definitely one of the best new releases in recent years, I highly recommend you pick that up... there will be a Jorun PMC LP dropping soon too I believe which should be equally dope... plus you gotta support the homegrown talent ;-)

Yeah, I'm always down to support Phill and Jorun. Any idea when that album drops? I need to start selling some shit so I can afford these.. someone else linked me to all sorts of crazy releases yesterday (same dude who put me up on Fabreze) so all in due time. You should post them here, I know it's not for everyone but I definitely think you'll find some fans of that stuff.

I really want Playboi Carti’s Die Lit! 
It’s such a masterpiece!
It’s such an underground, invite-only, New-York fashion after-party with futuristic, pretentious, oriental, minimal vibes kinda album!
Need this attractive, forever young, edgy, too cool for school album on vinyl soooo badly

I’m not trying to be an old man and say everything needs to be boom bap as I like plenty of new stuff but I just for the life of me cannot find anything redeeming about that dude as a MC.
