Nature Sounds Us Vinyl & CDs

Review: Nature Sounds have put together this special reissue album for Record Store Day Black Friday. It is a record originally from 2013 and featuring Jadakiss, NORE, Raekwon, and Sheek Louch. The whole thing was produced by Scram Jones and now it gets pressed onto wax for the first time on limited clear vinyl. The beats hit hard, with crunchy hits and urban swagger all topped off with plenty great bars from the various vocalists. It still sounds fresh today and is an essential piece for any discerning hip-hop head.

Review: Brooklyn's Your Old Droog has made a name for himself with fine releases on the likes of Nature Sounds, many of which have had fans reminiscing about the fine mic work of the late great MF Doom. He uses artful imagery and unlikely couplets to paint vivid musical pictures with an inimitable East Coast twang. He has produced many of his beats himself but here he partners up with the one and only Madlib on 'The Return Of Sasquatch'. It is another killer joint with a mix of classic sounds and leftfield ideas. On the flip is a live rehearsal version of 'The Unknown Comic' which was produced by Edan.
