Wide Eyes "Hands Tied" CD
$9.99
With their new album, “Hands Tied,” rappers Filth Phantom and Sean Anonymous, DJ Name and producer Dimitry Killstorm have crafted a fifteen-track love note to the culture that nurtured them. Paid for by a series of house parties in the summer of 2009, the album is a testament not only to the depth and talent of the Twin Cities hip hop scene, but to the power of independent hip hop in general.
The beats are handled almost entirely by Killstorm. Their soulfulness gives the album the kind of balance that’s made TC big-brother acts like Atmosphere and Brother Ali so successful—it’s still neck-breaking, punch-you-in-the-face hip hop, but there’s a musicality to it that makes it a lot more fun to listen to.

Grieves "88 Keys & Counting" CD
$12.99
88 Keys & Counting. A combination of singing and rapping tethered together by guitar, horn, and keyboard driven instrumentals. Although ultimately an intense album, there are a few breaks with songs like “Identity Cards” (featuring Luckyiam of Living Legends fame) and “Greedy Bitch”, a catchy break up song that will be stuck in your head for days after hearing it. Mainly a digital release, 88 Keys & Counting was welcomed with rave reviews of this new refreshing talent. Now residing in New York City, Grieves and Budo are hard at work finishing his 2010 Rhymesayers debut. So while the world has to wait a little longer for this masterpiece, Rhymesayers is proud to present, 88 Keys & Counting, an introduction to a dynamic artist that everyone will be talking about soon enough.

Grieves "The Confessions of Mr. Modest" CD
$9.99
The New EP from Grieves. Written, produced, and recorded in the nooks and crannies found between an exhaustive touring schedule, the Confessions of Mr. Modest represents a period of professional and creative transition. With features from P.O.S. and the Cunninlynguists, two artists Grieves was honored to tour with over the past year, the E.P. manages to touch on loss, change, and turmoil without losing the playfulness that balances his incredibly well rounded palate. Building on the organic and rich production style pioneered with 88 Keys and Counting, Mr. Modest features predominantly sample-free instrumental work from Budo, Sapient, and Grieves himself.
