Black Thought “Streams of Thought Vol. 1”
It defies possibility that after nearly 25 solid years in the music industry and legendary status, this solo project is Black Thought’s first. The five-track EP clocks in at just 17 minutes and features guest appearances from Rapsody, Styles P, and KIRBY, and is produced entirely by 9th Wonder and The Soul Council.

Liz Phair “The Girly-Sound Tapes”

However, the real excitement is the official version of the cassettes Phair recorded as Girly-Sound, which include early versions of tracks from ‘Guyville’ and its 1994 follow-up ‘Whip-Smart.’ Girly-Sound is the name under which singer-songwriter Liz Phair recorded several self-produced cassettes in 1991. The cassettes were later made available as bootlegs and some tracks have been officially released.
