As usual you can get the digital version from Amazon, Google Play, iTunes or wherever digital music is sold.

At the end of what was another successful year for Trish Toledo she released volume 3 of her "Dedicated To The Ones I Love" EP series. In my opinion that's the best issue of the series simply because it has the best selection of songs as it contains some of my favorite oldies such as "Confessin' A Feeling" or "Make It With You". To get the digital version move over to Google Play, iTunes or to wherever digital music is sold. To get the physical version move over to the officiel Silent Giant Entertainment website silentgiantentertainment.com. If you stay in the L.A area you can also get it from Norwalk Records.

Familia Records is a name that every true Chicano Rap fan knows for the countless classics the record label has released, especially from the mid 90s to the early 2000s. Most the CDs which have been released by Familia Records are really rare these days which makes them expensive collector items on eBay and other stores. One problem has always been that most of the LPs have not been available digitally, hence Chicano Rap fans will like to hear that Familia Records just released a couple of albums from its huge catalog digitally and that more titles are supposed to be available soon. Albums which are already available include titles by artists such as Lil Rob, Mr. Lil One, Mr. Shadow, Brown Intentions and the N'Land Clique.
