12" Series and Subsequent Compilation Revealed:
When scheduling a series of hip hop 12"es, could there possibly be a better title for it than “The Matador Hip Hop 12" Series?” Of course there could, but we’re a little too late for your second guessing. How about some of you geniuses out there give us a hand before it’s too late next time? Here’s how the beginning of this series breaks down:

#1 Sensational — Party Jumpin’/Livin’ It Up
  OLE-471 — 7/25/00
   
#2 Large Professor — It’s About That Time/Liveguy Saga
  OLE-473 — 8/29/00
   
#3 Sensational — Beat Rhymes/Put It On
  OLE-472 — 9/26/00
   
#4 Large Professor — TBA
  OLE-474 -- 10/31/00

More titles to be announced at a later date. We’re planning on a compilation CD of all of the above, plus more material sometime in 2001.

Also forthcoming in July, the first Matador 12" from Sensational, one of the most twisted & brilliant minds in hip-hop. Through his two albums on the WordSound label, ‘Loaded With Power’ and ‘Corner The Market,’ as well as his early production work for the Jungle Brothers, Sensational has staked a claim for himself as one of the most inventive MC’s on the planet. His in-the-making Matador 12" is shaping up to be an extremely damaged recording (and we mean that in a good way, not like when you get hit in the head with a cinderblock. That’s a bad kind of damaged).
