From the MC that has delivered unique concept songs about sleeping shirts, hockey player Alex Hemsky, swimming laps at the public pool, and viewing the Northern Lights, comes this new song about being a rapper, a dog dad, and filling out a survey while buying dog treats. “Survey in a Box” is the third and final single from Epic’s Heater in My Truck II. The beat by Gods&Nmbrs is a chill mix of smooth piano, flute, and sax over hard boom bap drums, a perfect soundscape for Epic’s emo folk rap delivery that is as unique in hip hop as this concept. Epic freestyles his resume and puts the survey in a box!
Written and performed by Epic Produced by Gods&Nmbrs
The 30th Anniversary $30 Bundle for February dropped earlier today!
For February we’re honouring that most holy of holidays for the month: Valentine’s Day. Celebrate love and lust with our $30 bundle for February. It comes with the following:
For those who have LOST LOVE, allow Chadio to help you get over it with Cousin of Lucy, his album of breakup songs (although spoiler alert, he does find love again at the end). The bundle comes with the vinyl version of the album containing two bonus remixes and a download card for the digital version of the album.
For those who have FOUND LOVE, enjoy the romance with The Dirty Sample’s beat tape of instrumental love songs to get your groove going. Love Always Wins If You Let It comes on cassette with cool print on the case. Does not come with a download card, but you can download this one for free on Bandcamp.
For those who have only LUST, prepare to get down and dirty with Cock Dynamics, a classic compilation of sex raps from the likes of Buck 65, Moka Only, Tachichi, and more. This is the re-released CD version with awesome condom packaging done long before Snoop Dogg did his so poorly. A download of this album comes with the purchase on Bandcamp.
Also comes with a cassette copy of Pasquale’s Bxxtlegs Vol 4 & 5, the one with his R&B remixes. Romantic! Quantities are limited on this one, so inclusion in the package is on a first come, first served basis. Buy early to be sure to get yours!

A new review of the cassette version of Max Moon’s The Grand Howl by Raised by Cassettes…
Winter Dreamz is Cold Camp at full frost. A cinematic boom bap record carved out of cold nights, cracked concrete, and heavy snow. The Dirty Sample’s production drops dusty drums, chopped grime, and crunchy loops that feel ripped from a forgotten tape deck and rewired for the present. Bully Bravo and Chaka Boy move through the album like winter veterans: sharp, unflinching, and fully in control. No filler, no softness. Just hard-earned perspective, street poetry, and raw conviction over beats that keep your head bouncing. Winter Dreamz is classic boom bap energy with a modern weight to it. No trends chased. No corners cut. Winter Dreamz is cold, deliberate, and built to last.
Written and performed by Chaka Boy and Bully Bravo Produced by The Dirty Sample
The sophomore album from Cold Camp is dropping on January 30 through Hand’Solo Records. Listening party for the album tonight (Saturday) at 7:30 PM EST…
Indie Rock Magazine writer Seb Lapin aka Rabbit recently published his list of his Top 180 Hip Hop Albums for 2025 and it includes some fine music. On that list are two albums from Hand’Solo Records. Alas, neither made the Top 49 included in the visual, but Kaboom Atomic x The Dirty Sample’s 2 Cents lands at #75 and Max Moon’s The Grand Howl lands at 142. Awesome!
We hope you will join us on Saturday, January 24 at 7:30 PM EST for the Bandcamp listening party of Cold Camp’s sophomore album, Winter Dreamz, officially dropping the following Friday on digital and cassette. RSVP for the listening party or pre-order the album here.
“The track produced by Canadian legend Moka Only is a laid-back cut with retro, underground stylings, underpinned by offbeat rapping and storytelling.” – Word Is Bond
