GRR Closing - Thanks for your support

After 15 years of releasing music, Gentleman’s Relief Records (GRR) is closing this month. The label has been a huge part of my life since 2006 and I’m really happy with everything it accomplished - it’s now time to focus on some other things.

Thank you all very much for your incredible support, which has enabled the label to continue and grow. I really appreciate it. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know so many passionate fans of the music over the years.

Once again, thank you for everything. I hope you’re able to continue enjoying the music released on GRR!

Mathematik - H2O Vinyl EP [GRR046]

One of the finest artists to emerge from the 90s independent hip hop scene, Toronto MC Mathematik stood out from the crowd with his reflective and intricately crafted wordplay on classic releases such as the Down To Erf EP and Ecology LP. This tradition continues on the H2O EP, featuring Math's trademark meticulous flow over ethereal production from Debonair P. Featuring 4 new tracks + 4 remixes, on black vinyl in a picture cover - limited to 250 copies.

Debonair P - Limited Vinyl Megamix pt. 2
