The Closed Sessions 7" series continues with a blog era classic, "Vibration" by Alex Wiley. 

"Vibration" was released in March of 2014, and catapulted Alex Wiley from the underground Chicago scene to a global presence on the blog and festival circuits. "Vibration" was the lead single off Wiley's 2014 LP, Village Party, which stands out as a classic of the time period.

This 10th anniversary 7" plays at 45RPM and is limited to 500 copies.

Westside Gunn was still an unknown emcee when Rude One traveled to Atlanta to record “Supreme Trunks” for his 2016 release, ONEderful. Who knew that Gunn and his Griselda crew would come to run rap just a few years later. Listening back to “Supreme Trunks”, his rise seems inevitable.

“Supreme Trunks” is the 4th release in a new 45 series from Chicago indie Hip Hop label, Closed Sessions. Each 45 in the series is limited to 400 copies and contains the original and instrumental, and new artwork by Spectacular Diagnostics.

" The Chicago-bred, now Brooklyn-based beatmaker DJ Rude One’s ONEderful is a grubby set of blood-in-your-mouth street raps, featuring Roc Marciano, Your Old Droog, Mr Muthafuckin eXquire, and more." - Pitchfork.com.
