"The former mixtape kingpin DJ Drama hosts Tyler, the Creator’s new album, “Call Me If You Get Lost,” a clear homage to a golden era in which mixtapes were crowning achievements. In restoring Drama’s Gangsta Grillz brand, Tyler returns to his own origins as a flippant, madcap mixtape rapper. If there is one distinguishing characteristic of the format, it’s that it is historically free-associative by nature—there’s a license to just rap that the more hermetically sealed album denies. This is a mode that suits Tyler well; he has a resonance and a bluntness that steamroll through beats. The medium seems to embody his beliefs—in autonomy, self-determination, and exploration—and, through it, Tyler sounds more liberated than ever."— Sheldon Pearce, The New Yorker

Here's a chance to cop a pivotal piece of R&B history on vinyl. Aaliyah's second album was released in 1996, when she was just 17, and she was already one of the most commanding artists in modern R&B. Working closely with Missy Elliot and Timbaland on a number of the tracks, she made a significant step on from her debut with a revitalised and forward-leaning sound, and all while finishing drama school and preparing to star in Romeo Must Die. One In A Million is solid gold start to finish, and given how costly original pressings of it can be on the second hand market, this reissue is long overdue so grab it while you can.
