Beast Coast – Escape From New York

Description

New Vinyl Record – Beast Coast – Escape From New York

The collective has completed many tours together, and its debut album Escape From New York comesacross as a collection of hi level cyphers from Joey Bada$$, Nyck Caution, Kirk Knight, CJ Fly, FlatbushZombies & more. Not surprising as the Brooklyn natives, a lot of them friends since childhood, have nevershied away from the lyrics-centered tradition of New York hip-hop. Their distinctive voices and skills onthe mic, as well as NY-centric storytelling drive the album, and the chemistry is undeniable. Theproduction is tight, but this is also where the supergroup shifts away from musically, perhaps what thetitle of the project is alluding to. Erick Arc Elliott, Power Pleasant, Sam Wish, and Tyler Dopps lay downslick, bouncy instrumentals as opposed to boom bap, and it’s refreshing and fun to hear the group expandits sound. Check out “Distance,” “Left Hand,” “Snow In The Stadium,” “Far Away,” and “Coast/Clear.”Vinyl copies are now available after the initial limited run sold out rapidly – the RSD Black Friday editionfeatures 2LPs on translucent orange color and a Beast Coast Sticker.
