Chill Rob G - Ride the Rhythm


Wild Pitch, 1989

Chill Rob was a great rapper, with a booming Chuck D-like voice. The 45 King blessed this album with great beats like "Dope Rhymes" and the title track. Prince Paul almost upstaged the 45 with his great remix of "Let Me Show You."



Queen Latifah - All Hail the Queen


Tommy Boy, 1989

This album showcases the 45 King's most consistant and diverse production to date. From the fast "Queen of Royal Badness" to the slow and funky "Princess of the Posse" remix, the 45 King displays all his production abilites here.



The 45 King - Grooves for a Quiet Storm


Tuff City, 1996

The 45 King slowed down things a bit here, but it may be his best breakbeat album ever. Smooth basslines mixed with mellow rhodes keyboard samples make for a very jazzy, melodic album.



The 45 King - Killer Beets, Vol. 3


Music Station, 1996

An obscure album on a label I've never heard of. This appears to be a DJ battle record with some well-known beats looped continuously. You've probably heard all these tracks somewhere before.
