Beast Coast - Escape From New York - Vinyl LP(x2) - RSD 2023 - Black Friday

The collective has completed many tours together, and its debut album Escape From New York comes
across as a collection of hi 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."
Vinyl copies are now available after the initial limited run sold out rapidly - the RSD Black Friday edition
features 2LPs on translucent orange color and a Beast Coast Sticker.
