Originally released in 2006, A Piece of Strange marks the defining moment in CunninLynguists’ catalog, bringing their sound and identity fully into focus. Natti joined founding members Deacon the Villain and Kno for his first studio album with the group, establishing the three-man core that remains intact twenty years later.

Already respected for their witty bars and inventive beats, CunninLynguists expanded their reach here through more ambitious songwriting and a deeper sense of musicality. Kno’s richly layered production provided the foundation for vivid storytelling, soulful melodies, and an emotional depth that rewarded repeated listening. The wit and lyrical dexterity were still there, now woven into songs with greater purpose and resonance.

The “Forbidden Fruit” edition pairs Magenta and Spring Green swirl vinyl with a gatefold jacket featuring a commemorative gold-foil stamp. Limited to 500 copies within the gatefold edition’s combined run of 1,000, it includes an OBI strip, printed inner sleeves with lyrics, and an 8×10″ photo autographed by Deacon the Villain, Natti, and Kno. Updated layout and artwork by Jelle Smid complete the presentation. Audio has been remastered for vinyl by D-Sane at Digital Age Sound and cut at 33⅓ RPM, compared with the original pressing’s 45 RPM.

The 15th Anniversary Reissue of Nineteen Ninety Now celebrates the landmark 2010 collaboration between Celph Titled and Buckwild, pairing Celph’s punchline-driven rhymes with Buckwild’s timeless 1990s production. Released via DEMIGODZ Enterprises in partnership with Coalmine Reissues, this special edition pays tribute to the craft and detail of hip-hop’s golden era.

Born from a box of unreleased Buckwild beats from the ’90s, Nineteen Ninety Now bridges eras by combining vintage production with new verses. “Instead of trying to make a record that sounded like the ’90s, we took beats that were made back at that time and made new songs,” says Celph. The result stands as a timeless, one-of-a-kind project that continues to resonate 15 years later.

This 15th Anniversary Collector’s Edition 2xLP has been remastered by D-Sane for Digital Age Sound and is presented in a Ghostly Red configuration, fittingly titled the “12 Gauge Red Vinyl.” Housed in a 24pt direct-to-board jacket featuring an updated layout and OBI strip designed by Jelle Smid, this edition is available exclusively through our web-store and limited to 100 hand-numbered copies.

With 2026 marking 30 years since the world was first introduced to Juggaknots through their original nine track Clear Blue Skies EP on Fondle 'Em Records, we felt it was only right to commemorate that milestone with a fresh repress of our 2024 reissue. Based on the expanded 2003 full length edition and pressed on clear vinyl, this anniversary pressing honors the moment that introduced the trio to the world.

Ahead of their time, the sibling trio of Breeze Brewin, Queen Herawin and Buddy Slim fused razor sharp braggadocio, off kilter humor and pointed social commentary with thick, low end driven production. The result helped lay the foundation for what would later be recognized as alternative hip hop, a lane that continues to thrive today.

Clear Blue Skies presents the group’s seminal debut in its definitive expanded form, featuring 11 additional tracks drawn from the 2003 full length version, including remastered selections and three bonus mixes. This edition features an alternate cover sourced from the same Steve Brock photo session used for the 2002 release, with album packaging and layout designed by Frank DeMaria. All orders now shipping!

Please Note: This edition is housed in a standard jacket with a 24pt board upgrade and is not a gatefold like the 2024 reissue.

Signed to Tommy Boy Records on the strength of his powerful verse on Mobb Deep’s “Give Up The Goods,” Rapper Noyd’s plans for his debut album were waylaid by an unexpected trip up north. With only a handful of completed songs in the can, it was left to Havoc to piece together this album, enlisting the talents of the extended Infamous Mobb family to contribute the remaining thun language. 

This edition represses the 2023 reissue, which marked the first vinyl pressing since its 1996 debut. The tracklist is expanded to include the Stretch Armstrong Remix of “Usual Suspect,” previously available only on the 12 inch single, plus a new Part III of “Recognize and Realize,” remixed by Big Ghost LTD.

The layout has been refreshed by Mr. Krum, with a prologue courtesy of Robbie Ettelson, founder of UNKUT.COM and the Conservative Rap Coalition. Vinyl is pressed on a Frosted White base with a Black and Orange Crush color-in-color configuration, limited to 300 copies worldwide. All orders ship immediately.

Nearly 22 years after the release of Infamous Mobb’s debut LP, Special Edition, Coalmine Reissues is proud to breathe new life into this Q-Boro classic with a limited vinyl reissue that truly lives up to its name. 

Encompassing core members Ty Nitty, Big Twins (aka Twin Gambino), and Godfather Part III, Infamous Mobb is an integral part of the Q-Boro rap scene, with roots tracing back to Mobb Deep’s quintessential classic The Infamous. Considered by many Q-Boro rap aficionados as a “Queensbridge holy grail,” the trio delivers high-octane synergy throughout the album’s 16 tracks, characterized by true-to-life street tales of life in the Bridge. The album boasts guest appearances and production by the likes of Mobb Deep, Big Noyd, The Alchemist, DJ Muggs and more!

“Killarmy succeeded in building one of the most fully realized identities within the Wu-Tang extended universe, transforming the Clan's mythology into a world distinctly their own.” — Rob Kenner

Originally released in 2001, Fear, Love & War marked the third studio album from Killarmy, further refining the group’s unmistakable blend of militant lyricism, cinematic production, and war-torn imagery.

Originally released in 1998, Dirty Weaponry is the uncompromising second album from Killarmy, the Wu-Tang affiliate squad known for their militant aesthetic, razor-sharp lyricism, and Five Percenter worldview. Executive produced by RZA, the album is primarily helmed by 4th Disciple, whose dark, layered production once again provides the crew with a sonic battlefield—having shaped much of their 1997 debut Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars. RZA also contributes the haunting "Where I Rest At," adding his signature grit to the project.

Now, 27 years later, Dirty Weaponry returns to wax as a lasting tribute to one of the most tactical and uncompromising forces in the Wu-Tang legacy. This Collector’s Edition 2XLP features the original front cover, paired with an updated rear jacket layout and redesigned center labels for a refreshed presentation. Pressed on a striking lava-inspired color variant coined “Napalm Smoke,” the release is sonically elevated through a fresh remaster by D-Sane of Digital Age Sound, giving Dirty Weaponry the long-overdue vinyl treatment it deserves.

For the first time ever, Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, the seminal debut from Killarmy, has been reissued on vinyl through a collaborative release between Granddaddy Flow Entertainment and Coalmine Reissues. This groundbreaking album from the Wu-Tang Clan's extended family captures the spirit of a post-Desert Storm, pre-millennium era, channeling pro-black ideologies and war metaphors into a raw, cinematic listening experience. 

Comprising 9th Prince, Killa Sin, Beretta 9, Islord, P.R. Terrorist, and ShoGun Assasson, Killarmy delivers a militant, unapologetically gritty aesthetic that redefined underground hip-hop. Guest contributions from Hell Razah, Masta Killa, Prodigal Sunn, and Streetlife enrich the project, while the production—helmed primarily by the iconic 4th Disciple—provides a hauntingly cinematic backdrop. With somber, ominous instrumentals and razor-sharp beats, 4th Disciple’s work embodies the raw and uncompromising tone of the album. 

Originally released in 1997, Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars remains an incredible piece of art that helped cement the legacy of the Clan as the most far-reaching and fabled crew in hip-hop history. This collector’s edition 2XLP is presented in full color jackets restored by acclaimed designer, Mr. Krum, and is pressed on classic black vinyl. *All orders begin shipping on Monday, December 16th.

First released in 2007, The Hunt for the Gingerbread Man stands as one of MF Grimm’s most imaginative and enduring works: a darkly whimsical concept album that reimagines a childhood fable through the gritty lens of New York hip-hop. Across its 13 tracks, Grimm transforms candy shops, cookie trails, and fairy-tale motifs into sharp metaphors for survival, power, and the hustle, all delivered with his trademark blend of incisive wordplay and vivid storytelling.

For the first time since its original release, The Hunt for the Gingerbread Man returns to vinyl, newly remastered and meticulously curated by Coalmine Reissues. This collector’s edition two LP set comes in a twenty four point direct to board jacket and is equipped with an OBI strip designed by renowned designer Mr. Krum, with audio remastered by D Sane for Digital Age Sound.

The Downfall of Ibliys: a ghetto opera by MF Grimm is a slept-on jewel in the world of underground hip-hop that blends complex storytelling with raw, unfiltered emotion. Since its release in early 2002, the album has garnered a devoted following, becoming a highly coveted gem for collectors and hip-hop aficionados alike. This record is not just a piece of music but a deep narrative, reflecting Grimm’s journey through hardship, triumph, and the struggles of life in the streets. 

Considered by connoisseurs of the late DOOM’s discography as a parallel to Operation: Doomsday, The Downfall of Ibliys shares much of its sonic palette, led by DOOM’s signature production that creates a dark, atmospheric backdrop to Grimm’s introspective rhymes.

Originally released in 1997, Spontaneity is the landmark debut from Houston’s K-Otix — a group whose soulful, jazz-tinged sound helped define the South’s independent hip-hop scene. A true underground gem, the album delivers introspective rhymes, rich sample-based production, and the type of effortless cool that captured the raw essence of late '90s indie rap. Long regarded as a cult classic, demand for Spontaneity has remained high, with over 2,000 fans tracking the record on Discogs alone.

Now, after more than two decades since its last pressing in 2004, Spontaneity returns to vinyl as the latest essential reissue from Coalmine Reissues. For the first time ever, the audio has been fully remastered by D-Sane of Digital Age Sound, enhancing its warm, sample-rich textures.

In keeping with the original colorways of the 1997 release, this special edition reissue of Spontaneity is available in four exclusive variants: Ruby Red, Sky Blue, Canary Yellow, and Classic Black. Each version features fully color-coordinated reissue design and layout by renowned graphic artist Mr. Krum. This edition, pressed on Sky Blue vinyl with blue-accented artwork, mirrors the original rollout with a rectangular blue hype-sticker across the top in place of an OBI. Meticulously restored, this is a reissue where every detail counts.

A cornerstone of Southern hip-hop, On Top of the World is the album that broke Eightball & MJG onto the national stage, cementing them as pioneers of the Memphis rap scene. 

Originally released in 1995, the album blends raw storytelling with spacey G-funk production, delivering classics like "Space Age Pimpin’," "Pimp in My Own Rhyme," and "Friend or Foe." Their ability to craft cinematic street narratives over lush, funk-driven beats made this album a defining release in Southern rap. As The Source wrote in their November 1995 Record Report review of the album, “Many of hip-hop’s finest started underground and went on to enjoy huge success”—and On Top of the World proved to be Eightball & MJG’s breakout moment, elevating their sound beyond regional acclaim. The album went on to be certified gold by the RIAA, further solidifying its impact and influence in the hip-hop landscape. 

Now, for the first time ever, Suave House Records in partnership with Coalmine Reissues is pleased to give this influential LP the celebration it deserves with a long-awaited return to vinyl.

This Collector’s Edition 2XLP features fully remastered audio, pressed on Black Ice/Neon Pink swirl “Candy Paint” vinyl, and finished with hand-numbered hype stickers. The remastering was handled by D-Sane of Digital Age Sound (Seattle, WA), with album artwork and layout restoration by the ever-reliable Mr. Krum.

In 2011, Elzhi fearlessly took on the biggest challenge of his career: remaking Nas’ GOATed debut album Illmatic in his own name. He enlisted four-piece band Will Sessions to put a live, vibrant spin to sounds originally crafted by producers like DJ Premier, Pete Rock, and Large Professor, and demonstrated lyrical wisdom about when to maintain the original spirit of a song and when to switch things up.

He conjures images of the blocks he grew up on with “Detroit State of Mind,” recounts a romance with a woman who had a traumatic childhood on “One Love,” and uses “Memory Lane” to take a nostalgic cruise through childhood connections before the pain from such reflections is too much to bear. The technical proficiency was potent as always, but emotiveness made Elmatic blossom: the wistfulness of his mother’s flowing hair before chemotherapy took it from her, falling in love with a woman he met in the mall, the palpable pride in the peaks and valleys of his city. It was a detailed, refined version of the introspection displayed on Out of Focus. Elmatic proved that Elzhi didn’t just have prodigious talent — he had a city to represent, and he had a story to tell. — William E. Ketchum III

Previously exclusive to VMP, this special edition reissue is now available through our web store. Offered for the first time as a single disc LP, it includes the bonus track remix of “Detroit State of Mind.” The album comes housed in a classic tip-on style jacket, featuring an overhauled layout by Jelle Smid that’s accompanied with a foreword written by renowned music journalist William E.

In celebration of the five year anniversary of Ghostface Killah’s widely acclaimed 2018 LP, The Lost Tapes — produced entirely by Big Ghost LTD — Coalmine Records is pleased to announce our partnership with Holy Toledo Productions for a deluxe edition reissue that includes both the main and instrumental passes. 

Despite what the title may suggest, The Lost Tapes is not a collection of rare or unreleased tracks, but rather an album recorded with the intention of summoning an incarnation of an early Tony Starks, akin to Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Ironman, and Supreme Clientele. And this is achieved largely by the production value that Big Ghost LTD who tastefully weaves soulful samples to create a satisfying cocktail of distinctively up-to-date boom bap. Narrated by Michael Rapaport, the ’90s hip-hop aficionado, actor and comedian helps keep the pace for Ghost Deini’s 10th solo LP by reminding us that we’re in the presence of greatness. But it’s the chemistry of emcee and producer that elevates The Lost Tapes to one of the more stand-out solo releases in Wu-Tang’s discography of recent memory. 

This collector’s edition 2XLP is presented in hand-numbered jackets enhanced with spot gloss over an updated design of the ghost logo by Bozack Morris. Disc one is pressed in a black with gold swirl configuration, with disc two press in white with gold swirl vinyl. Pre-orders are available now.
