“Hi-Tek’s name evokes images of a futuristic sensibility steeped in binary code and soldering motherboards, but it’s the warm, human vibration in his compositions that defines his impact and sonic appeal.” — Jerry Barrow

Originally released in 2000, Hi-Teknology marked the solo debut of Cincinnati producer Hi-Tek following landmark contributions to Black Star and Reflection Eternal. Featuring appearances from Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, Slum Village, Buckshot, and more, the album remains a defining statement of soulful, forward-thinking hip-hop production.

This 25th Anniversary Edition 2xLP is remastered by D-Sane at Digital Age Sound and pressed on Black Ice/Silver Swirl vinyl. Housed in a 24pt matte gatefold jacket with silver foil numbering, the package features a fully restored layout by Mr. Krum, an autographed 8x10 press photo of Hi-Tek, and an exclusive OBI strip. Limited to 250 copies exclusively through our web-store, this pressing stands as a true collector’s piece.

Please Note: This is a pre-order item expected to begin shipping June 19. All vinyl orders are secured in EVEO crystal clear outer sleeves and ship using Whiplash LP Mailers to help ensure safe delivery.
