BIOGRAPHY

Hand'Solo Records returns to the basics for Bassments of Badmen: Volume 2, the follow-up to the 1996 compilation that introduced the label to the world with early tracks from Halifax heroes like Buck 65, Sixtoo, Classified, Witchdoc Jorun, Gordski (of the Goods), Tachicihi, and one of the last songs from Hip Club Groove. Since then, Hand'Solo Records has had critical success with some of the first slices of vinyl from Moka Only and Sixtoo (the Crystal Senate split 12"), Buck 65 (The Wildlife 12") and Tachichi & Moves (Suicidal Soul vinyl EP), the last spawning an animated video for "Booze Hounds 2." There was also the release of the rare "Sensual Canadian hip hop" compilation cassette Cock Dynamiks and subsequent tour. Now, in 2004, Hand'Solo Records will once again open the bassment and introduce a new batch of bad men willing to get down for Volume 2. As always, the focus is strongly Canadian with appearances from many of the best up-and-coming Canuck MCs, DJs and producers (it's up to you to supply the b-boys): Mindbender, Epic, Dorc, Creature Box, Noah 23, the Verbals, Toolshed, and more. This time with a wider scope, Bassments of Badmen: Volume 2 has embraced the U.S. (Restiform Bodies, Exempt Specimenz, Megalynk3 and The IF?) and Japan (Spiritual Juice). Prepare to enter the bassment.
