Description:
Their third full-length release, originally released back in 2005. Blackalicious produced a record of such sonic depth and lyrical ambition it proudly stands alongside the work of Bay Area funk fathers Sly Stone and Shuggie Otis, or hip-hop classics like Outkastâ??s Aquemini and The Rootsâ?? Things Fall Apart. The Craft features guest appearances by George Clinton, Floerty, Lateef The Truthspeeker, and Pigean John. - RED/WHITE VINYL
"The Craft (Limited Red/White Coloured Vinyl)" is a special collector's edition LP of Blackalicious's acclaimed album, presented on striking red and white coloured vinyl that visually matches the creativity of the music. Known for their intricate wordplay, conscious lyrics and soulful, roots-oriented production, Blackalicious deliver a record that blends classic West Coast underground hip-hop with funk, soul and jazz influences. The album unfolds as a cohesive journey, moving from high-energy, rhythm-driven tracks to more reflective, narrative-rich songs, always anchored by precise flows and warm, organic beats that sound particularly rich and dynamic in this analogue LP presentation. The limited coloured pressing not only enhances the visual appeal of your collection, it also underscores the sense of owning a definitive, audiophile-friendly version of a modern hip-hop milestone on 12" vinyl.
As a duo, Blackalicious - the partnership of rapper Gift of Gab and DJ/producer Chief Xcel - have long been celebrated in the hip-hop community for technical virtuosity and depth. Emerging from the California underground, they built a reputation through releases on labels like Quannum and have been widely praised for albums that push lyrical boundaries and musical sophistication. Their work has earned them a dedicated international following, critical acclaim for their inventive approach to language and rhythm, and lasting influence on subsequent generations of conscious and alternative hip-hop artists. On "The Craft", they refine that reputation, balancing accessibility with complexity and reaffirming their standing as one of the genre's most respected acts.
The LP is released by Anti / Indigo, a collaboration between the forward-thinking label Anti- and the established distribution and label partner Indigo.
