I just got this e-mailed to me, I'm posting It up incase anyone wants to read it.

BATTLE AXE RECORDS - DECEMBER 2003 NEWSLETTER
http://www.battleaxerecords.com

Welcome to the Battle Axe Records newsletter. Respect to everyone who has
emailed us in past with your questions and comments, we appreciate the interest
and support. Our apologies if we haven't gotten back to you, we're a growing
company working hard to get our music out to more people, and can't always
answer every email. On to the news:

NEW RELEASES
For those of you living under a rock, Swollen Members' latest and most sonically
evolved album, Heavy, is now in stores, and its hot, so don't sleep! We've also
got another version of the album with alternate artwork available in the online
store on our website, so if you're looking for those exclusive collectibles that
no one else on your block has, check that out.

We're gearing up for a gang of releases next year, including albums from
Sweatshop Union, the Oddities, DJ Drez, Shabazz the Disciple, Abstract Rude, and
more. Those albums will be hitting stores near you in February, but if you just
can't wait, they are available now in our online store.

Did someone hear something about a Mad Child solo project?!? Keep your ears
peeled.

NEW CLOTHING AVAILABLE
We have several new shirt designs available in our online store. Order now, and
you can still get these exclusive designs in time for Christmas! Lots of new
gear on the way…

Madchild Solo Sounds dope

I can't wait for the new Ab Rude

[N-Sane Brain]

Yeah I got that newsletter too. I was wonderin' which new Shabazz album they were talkin' to drop next year. Shabazz just released his debut a few weeks ago. 2003 was a tight year for Battle Axe, with dope albums by Swollen Members, Shabazz The Disciple and last but definitely not least Son Doobie I think there were other releases too, but I didn't hear them yet. But it will definitely be hard to top that year in 2004 We'll see...

In 2003, battleaxe dropped:

Moka Only "Lowdown Suite"
Mr. Brady "Dirty"
Swollen Members "Balance Instrumentals"
Swollen Members "Heavy"
Abstract Rude "Showtime"
Sunspot Jonz "Don't Let em stop you"
Shabazz The Disciple "Book Of Shabazz"
Son Doobie "Funk Superhero"
Sweatshop Union "Natural Progression"
DJ Drez "The Capture of Sound CD"
Brassmunk "Dark Sunrise CD"
The Oddities "The Scenic Route CD"
Swollen Members "Bad Dreams Instrumentals"

That's 18 Cd's in one year.  IMO Battleaxe Doesn't Get The Respect It Deserves.

DJ Drez "The Capture of Sound CD".

If you like that, check out Voice Watson. DJ Drez did some shit on his album. I got an update about him on dubcnn.com.

Moka Only "Flood"
Lyrics of Fury 2
Battleaxe Warriors 3
Rob the Viking "Beats to Pillage and Conquer By"

I didn't count the instrumental-discs from the Swollen Members. But I thought this discs I listed beyond were released in 2002, that's why I didn't mention them. But I do have them, so I'll have to add them to my list

You can listen to quite a bit of it at www.battleaxerecords.com

If you like Dialated Peoples, you'll like most battleaxe stuff.  Most of the artists are from either LA or Vancouver.  Evidence produced a few joints on the new Swollen Members CD.  Alchemist and Buck 50 are like best friends lol.
