Youngblood & The Prunes - Unorthodox: The 1995 Tapes CD

It’s a tale almost as old as breakbeats on the ones and twos: legendary rap album gets shelved due to label politics and A/R concerns over lacking radio-friendly singles. Unlike so many records with similar stories, this particular album, however, is Danish - and now, 30 years later, it will finally be released.

The 1995 Tapes by rapper Youngblood (YB) and legendary producer trio The Prunes (Beastie Boys, Mo’ Wax) is a rarity in Danish hiphop: dark, uncompromising boom-bap that fits
right in with classics like The Sun Rises in the East and Enta da Stage. A raw, relentless sound that once scared off the rapper’s former record label, but now is sure to find its way to a lot of new
listeners far beyond its country of origin.

The 1995 Tapes features 11 previously unreleased tracks and joins a series of recent discoveries from The Prunes’ archives. Released on CD via Rekords Records in 2026.
