A landmark analog record of the US-Japan underground hip-hop scene, "TAGS OF THE TIMES." Released on January 21, 1998, by Mary Joy Recordings, a subsidiary of the legendary Japanese label MAJOR FORCE, this is a double LP compilation album of historical significance. It's a globally valuable work that captured a crucial moment in hip-hop history, showcasing a crossover between cutting-edge US underground artists and Japanese talent. Includes the original first recording of MF DOOM's legendary early track, "Dead Bent." Owning this song on vinyl alone is of great value. Features numerous key artists who supported the core scene at the time, including COMPANY FLOW, MURS, SHING02, SIAH & YESHUA DA PO ED, and NATURAL RESOURCE.
