Red and Organe swirl with 12 page booklet

 

The next release in Now Again's Memphis Rap series is
Gotta Get My Pimp On. Lo-fi pimp player raps recorded on a
four-track cassette in Shawty Pimp's bedroom in 1994.

 

This is part of Now Again Records multiple LP series on the History of Memphis
Rap, which attempts to capture Memphis and its underground rap scene as it
began to produce some of the most distinctive music of the 90s.

This was a unique hip-hop strain - visceral and often vicious. It was a local, low-fi,
cassette-tape based movement - yet it went on to change the course of rap music.

These albums have never been pressed on vinyl - until now. From Skinny Pimp and
Carmike to Gangsta Blac and Shawty Pimp, these albums have been relegated to
the proverbial bins of history and bootlegged, with unofficial copies still fetching top
dollar on the secondary market. These albums were all licensed directly from their
original creators, and come on limited edition colored vinyl with artist-approved

imagery for their first LP iterations.

 

You can read the story of the Memphis Rap scene in a 12-page, oversized booklet
with notes by Torii MacAdams. It captures the story of Memphis rap starting with
the cityís founding and ending with an auto supply shop that sold these albums

over the counter, with all points in between.
