Introducing VMP Anthology 20: The Story of Memphis Rap, a trunk-rattling nine-album, 11-LP slice of the origins of Memphis Rap, capturing a city and a scene as it began to create the most distinctive rap music of the ’90s. The Story of Memphis Rap - a collaboration with Now-Again Records, like previous anthologies The Story of Zamrock, The Story of Tribe Records and The Story of Ghetto Records - collects nine albums that were originally released within Bluff City limits and occasionally to other cities in the region.
These albums have never been pressed on vinyl – until now…From Skinny Pimp and Carmike to Gangsta Blac and Shawty Pimp, these albums have been relegated to the proverbial bins of history and bootlegged, with unofficial copies still fetching top dollar on the secondary market. The albums in this box set were all licensed directly from their original creators, and come on black vinyl with artist-approved imagery for their first LP iterations packaged in an slipcase box.
