For the hip-hop listener who still buys physical music and wants a wide selection of CDs in one place, this page pulls together 94 titles across rap, underground, Latin hip-hop, and beyond.
What is actually here: Cypress Hill's Dios Bendiga on CD, Future's The Real Me jewel case CD on Epic, and the two-disc THE LANDLORD from Jim Jones. Navy Blue is represented twice, with both Sir Render and Sword & The Soaring on Freedom Sounds. Denzel Curry and Kenneth Blume's collaborative ii on Loma Vista sits alongside Shabazz Palaces' It's A Style Sport on Sub Pop. Anderson .Paak and Cordae's Heavy Is The Crown arrives as a digipak CD on Apeshit / HI Level. Skyzoo's Peddler Themes digipak CD on Old Soul Music and Night Lovell's My Blood As The Ink on G*59 Records round out a selection that runs from major-label releases to deep independent imprints.
Why buy from Relix
Relix has covered the full spectrum of American music since 1974, which means the people behind this store have spent decades paying attention to what artists actually make and how it gets pressed. That perspective shapes what lands on these pages. Alongside the hip-hop CDs, the store carries the Relix Sessions series, live recordings produced by Relix and pressed to vinyl on the Relix Vinyl label, as a reminder that physical music and live performance have always been at the center of what this publication does. The selection here is not algorithmic. It reflects the same editorial attention the magazine has applied to music for fifty years.
Every CD in this collection is new and sealed. Pre-order titles display a street date on the product page and ship when the label releases them. CDs ship in protective packaging.
If you want to keep browsing, the Hip Hop & Rap Vinyl & CDs collection covers the full format range, and Hip-Hop Vinyl Records goes deep on wax. For live recordings across genres, Live Vinyl Albums & Records is worth a look.
