Cut Chemist

Over the past few years, Stones Throw offshoot Now Again Records (headed by the always-esteemed Egon) has become the foremost spot for reissues of music's funky footnotes, the sorts of albums that went out of print soon after they were released, yet have become valuable commodities in the world of crate diggers. As this compilation highlights, these albums are great source material for sample-based hip-hop producers. Here we're treated to everyone from Oh No to Cut Chemist providing funky reinterpretations of these invisible classics.
