It's the return of the toughest twosome... Underground Hip hop veterans, Dillon & Paten Locke finish what they started with Rations, the long awaited follow-up to their cult-classic, Food Chain and 4th project in their food-centric catalog; released through their own label, FULL PLATE. Begun in 2016 but halted due to Paten Locke's sudden passing from cancer in 2019, Dillon carries the torch for the pair of triple-threats, deftly holding down rapping & scratching duties over Paten's brutally chopped & soulfully assembled beats. This go-round, instead of leaning into their more comedic instincts, Dillon & Paten Locke are dead serious. A militaristic sense of duty is pervasive throughout the LP, a nod to Paten's given moniker, The General. You can feel the earnestness in Dillon's raps as he both celebrates the victories in the trenches and laments the loss of his comrade, Paten. With a consistent tone throughout the songs, we gain a deeper sense of grown man raps in dire times. The project itself embodies the very definition of Rations: a fixed amount of a commodity during a shortage as in wartime. The aptly named Rations is indeed the final offering from Dillon & Paten, so you'll have to make it last. But the duo isn't on the front lines alone, they brought reinforcements including longtime collaborators & Hip hop luminaries: Large Professor, Diamond D, Masta Ace, Wordsworth, Black Sheep Dres, Cool Calm Pete, Akroabtik & J Scienide plus their 'FULL PLATE FAM' - Willie Evans Jr., Day Tripper, Yamin Semali and Jay Myztroh of Stono Echo. Adding extra flavor are DJ Harrison on Fender Rhodes + Jay Mumford (fka J-Zone) on drums. Paten himself makes a few appearances in the form of rare interviews and a long lost acappella. Coming from the beyond, the words of The General hold weight - as he and Dillon offer one last serving of Rations for your plate.

- Rations is the 4th project in the Dillon & Paten Locke-produced catalog, starting with 2009's 'Studies in Hunger', (which featured Chuck D, Stacy Epps, H2O of Mass Influence and more) then the critically acclaimed 2016 album, 'Food Chain' (which featured Homeboy Sandman, Supa Dave West, Von Pea and more) and its companion EP Side Dishes (which featured yU of Diamond District)
- Rations is entirely produced by Paten Locke (Asamov, Edan, Mr. Lif, Akrobatik & more) with raps & scratches by Dillon and features raps from: Large Professor, Masta Ace, Diamond D, Black Sheep Dres, Wordsworth, Cool Calm Pete, J Scienide, Willie Evans Jr., Day Tripper, Yamin Semali and Jay Myztroh of Stono Echo.
- Also features DJ Harrison on Rhodes Piano + Jay Mumford (fka J-Zone) on drums.

- Limited (300) classic black vinyl double LP in luxe matte-finish jacket w/ poly-lined sleeves

simply amazing
Format: Kindle
The intimacy, the sapphic love, the connections across all of Anna Stones books is the perfect cocktail for an amazing read. Full of ups and downs and highlighting the raw beautiful power of women and bdsm in a positive manner that’s holds nothing but respect for all consenting parties. Again amazing.

Another Wolf in the Syndicate??
Format: Kindle
Another thrilling read of Persephone Black and the amazing mafia romance. This is Ariadne’s story. She is now a recruit at the Syndicate even though she is beyond advanced but she has to earn her status. It’s kind of hard to do when she skips therapy, ices everyone out and is always on guard. Sunny is kind and warm and personable. Total opposites. They are paired to spar as a team and find that they move well together. They also seem to see more in each other than meets the eye. Well written and engaging read! Loved the pace and the spice flowed well with the story. Highly recommend!!

Yet another good read.
Format: Kindle
I love these mafia books. I’ve read all the series, and they’re all interesting and wonderful books. There’s violence, of course, and suspense, camaraderie, and steamy sex scenes. I hope there will be a sequel to Lone Wolf. If not, hopefully there will be more from this author. She’s written some great stories.

A Styx Syndicate Eccentric Story!
Format: Kindle
Ariadne/Sarah gets her chance. Not only to prove herself worthy of being on the Styx’s team but also to show she is capable of doing the things how the Styx Syndicate does it not what was inbred in her mind by Grandmother. That part has been hard and skipping therapy is not going to help. But when Lyssa & Scarlett bring back from the recent mission, a woman who was also under Grandmother’s control, things start to take a very different turn. Add to the mix, Sunny Santiago. There is something about this woman that seems to get to her but she is not sure why and knows she must control her emotions. But Sunny has other ideas. She is a new recruit vying for the same role on the team. Sunny also can’t get Ariadne off her mind. Her control is impressive, her demeanor is stoic but she is hot and in wicked shape and Sunny just wants to break that tough exterior. Sunny has a mission of her own. But when they are teamed together for a mission, definitely a test by Ariadne standards, things happen. For one stupid moment, Ariadne lets her guard down and she finds herself in an uncomfortable position and doesn’t know why. Again we have the team back and probably getting ready for their toughest mission. Love this group!
