First released in 2007, The Hunt for the Gingerbread Man stands as one of MF Grimm’s most imaginative and enduring works: a darkly whimsical concept album that reimagines a childhood fable through the gritty lens of New York hip-hop. Across its 13 tracks, Grimm transforms candy shops, cookie trails, and fairy-tale motifs into sharp metaphors for survival, power, and the hustle, all delivered with his trademark blend of incisive wordplay and vivid storytelling.

For the first time since its original release, The Hunt for the Gingerbread Man returns to vinyl, newly remastered and meticulously curated by Coalmine Reissues. This collector’s edition two LP set comes in a twenty four point direct to board jacket and is equipped with an OBI strip designed by renowned designer Mr. Krum, with audio remastered by D Sane for Digital Age Sound.

For this special picture disc edition, Krum brought the album’s candy-land theme directly onto the vinyl itself. Each side features a holiday confection rendered with meticulous detail: Side A presents gingerbread man cookies, Side B displays a swirl of candy canes, Side C offers chocolate chip cookies, and Side D showcases a spread of colorful gumdrops. Krum even baked the gingerbread cookies himself and photographed every element, creating a fully immersive visual experience. This variant is limited to just 100 copies and available exclusively through our web-store. Each copy includes a hand-numbered hype sticker.
