Buddha Monk is the 'capo regime' of the Brooklyn Zu, the crew of the late Ol' Dirty Bastard. Back in 1999 he produced/released the now classic, hard to obtain album "The Prophecy". Despite being a critical success, distribution was not handled properly by the label Edel America. Here is "The Prophecy" now being re-released, in this new digitally remastered, exclusive format for only $13, plus shipping. Currently used on Amazon for no less than $6! Available in CD and digital formats!
Buddha Monk has given us a rare treat here by releasing a multitude of tracks from the Zu-Vaults. Perhaps no one knew how hard at work the groups of Buddha Monk were in the 1990's, but now, for the very first time in history thanks to Duc-Lo and Chambermusik we can all catch a glimpse of some of this highly intense creative activity. Featured on here are Da Manchuz, Bklyn Zu, United Kingdom, and even the late Ol' Dirty Bastard himself.

Executive Producer Buddha Monk brings forth his latest Zu Chronicle, from the Wu-Tang affiliated Brooklyn Zu Chamber associated with the late great Ol' Dirty Bastard. Da Manchuz are an offshoot Wu-Tang affiliated crew hailing out of Brooklyn, New York. Rappers Babyface Fensta, Drunken Dragon, Born U Majesty, Chilli Black, Spiritual Assassin (G-Note$), Delta One, War, and Buddha Monk himself had one of one of the hottest, most talented underground crews in all of Hip-Hop, but like so many great groups, their album never actually saw the light of day. But for fans of that classic, grimy, 1990's East Coast Hip-Hop sound, Chambermusik Special Products/ Duck-Lo Records have finally made it possible for fans to hear this classic time capsule.

Latino rapper Capone has been churning out a steady stream of hardcore gangsta rap since the late 1990s, and 2006's MENACE TO SOCIETY continues that trend. With help from his partner Noreaga, Capone lays down the gritty street narratives his fans expect over bumping tracks that favor simple, repetitive, samples. "King of New York" rips a page out of the Kanye West production book and features a sped-up vocal sample, while "Roll With Me" rides over a slow, surging jeep-beat. While this is not the rapper's most essential release, Capone fans will find plenty to appreciate here.
