CENOBITES (2LP) | VINYL RECORD (LP)
Product DESCRIPTION
Release Date: 10/31/2025
Kool Keith, A cult classic in underground hip-hop, The Cenobites brings together the legendary Kool Keith and producer Godfather Don for a raw, jazz-laced collaboration that helped define the indie rap sound of the late '90s. Born in the shadows of 1990s Brooklyn and originally released on Bobbito Garcia's Fondle 'Em Records, the project evolved into a dark, hypnotic album that pushed the boundaries of underground hip-hop. Originally released as an EP in 1995 and expanded into a full-length LP in 1997-with a bonus cut added in 2000-The Cenobites LP features gritty tracks with abstract lyricism, surreal sci-fi imagery, and jazz-infused, unconventional beats. Highlights include Kool Keith's high-pitched, experimental flow (under his Rhythm X alias) and Godfather Don's distinctive production-marked by heavy horn samples and hard-hitting drums. This release became a touchstone for fans of raw, boundary-pushing hip-hop. Now, for the first time ever, this definitive edition of The Cenobites arrives as a deluxe gatefold 2xLP, an exclusive limited-edition cassette tape, and a collector's CD-all packed with bonus demos and rare tracks, perfectly capturing the full scope of this iconic album for longtime listeners and collectors.
