ABM Records – The Vault [Album]

ABM Records was founded Sparx — an emcee-slash-producer from Pennsylvania who unfortunately passed away in 2012 — and his close confidant, Adam Barnard. While still around and blessing those around him with positive energy and dope rhymes, Sparx let it be known that he was a huge fan of the Brown Bag AllStars collective. Now, four years since his passing, Adam has decided to put together a brand new compilation and also grant Sparx’s dream to come true, by enlisting BBAS’ Soul Khan, Koncept and J57, along with affiliates Kirswords and Joe Swisher. via 2DBZ
