In The Beginning (Vol. 3): Vinyl LP

In the Beginning Vol. 3 is a remarkable vinyl LP that continues to uncover the early works of Declaime and Madlib, two long - time collaborators from Oxnard, California. Their unique blend of hip - hop, funk, jazz, soul, and psychedelia laid the foundation for many emcees and producers. This collection features 10 previously unheard tracks recorded between 1993 and 1996. For Declaime, this series pays tribute to his friends and the city. Some well - known names like The Almighty Metaphor, Oh No the Disrupt, DJ Romes, and Kazi, who helped Oxnard gain recognition, also have a part in this project. Madlib produced the entire LP, delivering raw and funky instrumentals. Standout tracks like “Come With The Ill Grammar,” “Too Much Clout,” and “Next Episode (feat. Skam)” showcase Declaime's talent for merging world observations with bravado and insights. Declaime and Madlib's friendship started in their childhood, and their musical journey has been inspiring ever since.

Using this vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on your turntable and let the needle gently drop onto the record. As it spins, you'll be able to enjoy the amazing music. When handling the LP, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or fingerprints on the record. Keep it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, as this can damage the vinyl. Store it vertically in a record sleeve to prevent warping. After each use, wipe the record gently with a clean, anti - static cloth to keep it in good condition. If you notice any dust or debris on the record, use a record brush to remove it before playing.
