Black Waxday – Record Store Day 2023 Exclusive

Translucent Orange Vinyl Edition!

The collective has completed many tours together, and its debut album Escape From New York comes across as a collection of high level cyphers from Joey Bada$$, Nyck Caution, Kirk Knight, CJ Fly, Flatbush Zombies & more. Not surprising as the Brooklyn natives, a lot of them friends since childhood, have never shied away from the lyrics-centered tradition of New York hip-hop.

Their distinctive voices and skills on the mic, as well as NY-centric storytelling drive the album, and the chemistry is undeniable. The production is tight, but this is also where the supergroup shifts away from musically, perhaps what the title of the project is alluding to. Erick Arc Elliott, Power Pleasant, Sam Wish, and Tyler Dopps lay down slick, bouncy instrumentals as opposed to boom bap, and it’s refreshing and fun to hear the group expand its sound. Check out „Distance,“ „Left Hand,“ „Snow In The Stadium,“ „Far Away,“ and „Coast/Clear.“

The RSD Black Friday edition features 2LPs on translucent orange color and a Beast Coast Sticker.
