  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    This limited edition on clear vinyl celebrates the 25th anniversary of my first musical release on a small label (S.K.A.M.) in Iowa City, IA. The labels and record sleeve include new designs "sampled" from the artwork that was on the original compact disc release in May 1998. "Breaka Don" is a mostly instrumental hip-hop album comprised of beats made on a Tascam 4-Track recorder and samples from records in my collection. The beats on this release exemplify my unique style of layering of beats, samples, and found sounds along with experimentation in time signatures and rhythms. ONLY 50 copies will be pressed as a nod to the 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop and will decorate your collection with a genuine piece of history. The analog authenticity and twisted turntablism that you can place on your own platter will get you in the groove of the golden era of hip-hop beat production.
