NEWS We're on a little break. Max is recording raps sporadically, Jonb is busy with his new album "Beat Diarya" (which features a brand new track from Max). Hardly Novices is still for sale, it's still going strong and it's still underground rap. You can cop a copy of Hardly Novices as well as Beat Diarya for $14 from our good friends over at phonographique.com. Check out LBA's new album "The Damage is Done" which features even more tracks by Max Prime. Thanks for everyone who supported the EP, we'll come correct...but we're not sure when. Peace and keep your ear to the underground.
