Meld today’s most explosive club music with the eternally fresh lyrical styles of golden age rap stars and whaddya get? A stunning high point in the continuum of hip-hop history. Say what? The new DELICIOUS GUTTER release from Delicious Vinyl.
Aaron LaCrate & Debonair Samir — top purveyors of the explosive Baltimore club sound — have stepped to the plate to overhaul classic tracks from Young MC (“Know How”) and Masta Ace (“Jeep Ass N#$%”). Not only are Young MC’s fast-rap rhymes ideally suited to LaCrate & Samir’s hyperactive beats, but Masta Ace’s lyrical command “Don’t play when it come to my bass” has become a mantra for the dancefloor-savvy duo.
As LaCrate says: “When I was a kid growing up in Baltimore I loved Young MC, and bought two copies of the clear vinyl 12″ of Masta Ace ‘Jeep Ass’. I would make mixtapes where one side would be up-tempo club jams and the other side would be golden era hip-hop. So now for me and Samir to merge them into one thing is a dream come true. It’s the best of two kinds of party music.”
Featuring utterly ill artwork that flips the classic Delicious Vinyl logo in the same way that LaCrate & Samir have re-thunk the original music, the vinyl 12″ release is destined to be a must-have for DJs and art collectors worldwide. Also available on CD single and digital download, DELICIOUS GUTTER is a classic example of how Delicious Vinyl and today’s hottest artists are going back to the future…together.
The Four Track EP Includes:
Young MC “Know How Theme”
Young MC “Know How” (Gutter Remix)
Masta Ace Inc. “Jeep Ass Gutter” (Vocal)
Masta Ace Inc. “Jeep Ass Gutter” (Instrumental)

The brainchild of Los Angeles DJs Matt Dike and Michael Ross, Delicious Vinyl is a crucial label in the evolution of hip-hop. Late-’80s chart-topping hits from Tone-Loc (“Wild Thing”) and Young MC (“Bust A Move”) took innovative underground grooves to the masses. This year, Delicious Vinyl kicks off its 20th anniversary celebration with no sign of slowing down. Along with The Brand New Heavies triumphant tour in support of their new album Get Used To It, dancehall player Mr. Vegas had one of the summer’s biggest singles, “Hot Wuk.” The label’s newest releases are JayDeelicious: The Delicious Vinyl Years (celebrating the pioneering productions of James “Jay Dee” Yancey) and Delicious Vinyl: Twenty Years Fresh mixtape by Bobby Evans. So if it’s rump-shaking, trunk-rattling, floor-filling, chart-busting tunes you want, Delicious Vinyl delivers.
