    Is that Belgian DJ & producer DJ Grazzhoppa? I have several of his nineties releases. He is crazy on the ones and twos.

    That's the same guy. He works or owns the Heavy Jewelz Records that is specialized in selling and re-releasing old MCs/groups

    Looking at the tracklist, it'll be nice to finally get this track in high quality:

    Is this for real? because I dropped those missing titles not too long ago after I had spoken with Y-Kim who had them on a computer he couldn't access. Now there's an album, and 'Since When' is missing. Who got more info on this?

    All the info so far is at the links in soob's original post. B2DS is doing physical preorders for December and apparently Timbo King is selling the digital release on his site available tomorrow?

    Timbo posted it up on his twitter today, so seems legit.

    I noticed no Since When, but I thought maybe w/ almost none of those clothing lines existing anymore, he decided to pull it. Then again, it's supposed to be "as originally intended" so it should be in there...

    BTW, anyone ever mention to you how they ended up w/ Timbo recording 2 different songs over the "Hidden Chambers"/""Rules" beat?

    This is dope! There are a few tracks on there that have never been released TMK, so it will be nice to hear some "new" Royal Fam. I really miss Timbo King's aggressive flow. I'd rather have the og Hidden Chambers, but that was on their bootleg album, so whatever. I'll probably buy both the vinyl & CD honestly.

    You can listen to/buy digitally every track from the whole album on Timbo's site now:

    http://www.timbokinglive.com/mp3_roy...tle_album.html

    Rule has a different beat & is a different recording but mostly the same lyrics as Rules 101 from the shelved Nature Sounds BC

    No one can still spell Brigade.

    Buddha Monk feature.

    Feature listings on each track aren't complete and the "'Osirus" feature isn't Dirty if you're wondering (and obviously it's not that TI).

    So no Hidden Chambers (or Hidden Chambers beat on Rule) or Since When. Anything else missing?

    Also I recognized Off With Your Head has the verses he later spit on Destroy The Scenery off DJ Greyboy's album.

    NEW WORLD ORDER and SINCE WHEN are missing. Good to hear the rest though.

    Timbo King said on Twitter that Since When was never intended to be on Black Castle. I'd love a good quality version of that track but a formal release with some unheard tracks is still amazing, and likely more than anyone thought would release

    Great news! Old aggressive Timbo is the best.

    I'm glad Musical Chairs isn't on this new release. Always sounds out of place as an opener on the NS version of Black Castle
