The Buddah Box is a 3CD box set compilation released by ESX in 1993. It honors the Buddah label and some of its more well known subsidiaries, including Kama Sutra, Sussex, Hot Wax and Sutra. It contains a nice exploration of their roots as pop and bubble gum music aficionados before they explored rock, gospel, soul, disco, and hip-hop by the time the labels closed shop in the early 1980's.

Keeping in fashion with the theme of vocal lead samples and harmonic chorus styled chants, "Life After Dennison Instrumentals" continues from where the "Dennison Point Instrumentals" left off. Smooth, often melancholic and swinging from subtle to upfront, Funky DL demonstrates once again how to taste-make with breaks from a variety of sources and constructs a conceptual long-player landscape of superb instrumental audio.

The Herbaliser are one of the more purely hip-hop oriented acts on Ninja Tune's roster of sample-based pocket-funk. Combining deft, mid-tempo beats, well-chosen jazz and funk figures, sparse scratching, and even the odd rap, Herbaliser bridge the gap between dusty B-side instrumental hip-hop and London's new school of psychotropic beat scientists.

Above the album worked the Rhino '100 Greatest Rap Songs: The Greatest Hip-Hop Tracks Ever ', and his release took place on 2020. The album has got 20 songs with a total duration of more than an hour. A compilation is a compilation of original music.

Larry Blackmon and his Cameo mates ruled funk's domain for over a decade. Cameo evolved from its origins as a horn-based and dominated ensemble into a synthesizer-oriented group that still featured sturdy basslines and exuberant vocals, but was in tune with urban and black America's new sensibility. These 14 selections range from the formative cuts "Rigor Mortis," "Shake Your Pants," and "It's Over" to the definitive "Word Up," "Candy," and "Back and Forth." Blackmon's alternately sneering, defiant, and aggressive vocals were the constant from Cameo's beginnings in the 1970s to their emergence as funk's reigning champions in the 1980s.

It isn’t just Joe and Jane Average curled up on the couch binge-watching Game of Thrones in comfy sweats; it’s also your favorite artists, cradling a bowl of snacks, streaming away on the tour bus. As this compilation of Thrones-inspired songs makes clear, their fascination with the fabled HBO drama runs deep. On “Too Many Gods,” A$AP Rocky and Joey Bada$$ mull over false prophets while dropping in a GoT reference (“Playing with fire but I’m no Targaryen”). Singer-songwriters like Jacob Banks, Lennon Stella, Chloe x Halle, and ROSALÍA imbue their tributes with stern keys and an existential dread that's so familiar to the show's fans. And it’s especially fun to hear a pop singer like Ellie Goulding tap into a sinister ruthlessness on “Hollow Crown”: “Making a noose out of your hollow crown/I hold a match up to your paper castle/And watch it all burn down, down, down.

Flash was the DJ and the Furious Five were the best multiple rappers around, moving from the music's low-rent dance origins (it was Flash who began cutting in repeated portions of other records) and party spirit to the "message" approach that took over in the mid 80s, prefigured in "The Message." Much of what came later, started here.
