Description
PRESSED ON RED VINYL
Limited to 300 Numbered Copies Worldwide!
Originally released in 1997, Spontaneity is the landmark debut from Houston’s K-Otix — a group whose soulful, jazz-tinged sound helped define the South’s independent hip-hop scene. A true underground gem, the album delivers introspective rhymes, rich sample-based production, and the type of effortless cool that captured the raw essence of late '90s indie rap. Long regarded as a cult classic, demand for Spontaneity has remained high, with over 2,000 fans tracking the record on Discogs alone.
Now, after more than two decades since its last pressing in 2004, Spontaneity returns to vinyl as the latest essential reissue from Coalmine Reissues. For the first time ever, the audio has been fully remastered, ensuring the warm, analog feel of the original is preserved while elevating clarity and depth for today’s hi-fi systems.
This edition isn’t just a repress — it’s the definitive version of an unsung classic. For longtime collectors and new heads alike, Spontaneity serves as a timeless reminder of hip-hop’s golden DIY era, when craft trumped clout and the underground thrived on authenticity. Meticulously restored, this is a reissue where every detail counts.

Critical Praise:
“Presenting the lighter side of Houston rap, K-Otix forgoes gangsta clichés, strip-club antics, and DJ Screw intoxicants in favor of traditional hip-hop simplicity. More apt to remind listeners of A Tribe Called Quest than the Geto Boys, K-Otix provides beats and rhymes of classic design.” -AllMusic
“It's not really easy to grab a physical copy of this EP nowadays, but it's definitely a must have.” -HipHop-The Golden Era
