You Say You Love Me / Should I Take You Home - Aztlán

“ first broke this record, “Should I Take You Home” by Aztlán, on Gangsters Dedications Vol. 1 in 2008, and it has been coveted ever since, with little to no known copies surviving this private-pressed record from 1974.”

“Thomas Valles, from Blythe, CA, recorded “Should I Take You Home” / “You Say You Love Me” at Audio Recorders in Phoenix, AZ, in 1974, on his private-pressed label and group, Aztlán.”

Check Bandcamp for the preorder and history of the extremely rare 45!

Arranged by Thomas Valles
Recorded at Audio Recorders (Phoenix, AZ)

Alpha Steppa & Nai-Jah - Crowned Eagle

Crowned Eagle is the powerful new album from Alpha Steppa and long-time collaborator Nai-Jah. Blending ten potent vocal tracks with ten heavyweight dubs, this double-sided journey is inspired by Nai-Jah’s Nigerian heritage, an exploration of ancestral wisdom, modern struggle, and spiritual resilience.
