Nature - Seasons Changed: Spring Edition EP AVAILABLE NOW on iTUNES!

Nature dropped his first true release in over 5 years today... Seasons Changed: Spring Edition EP. The title is obviously a play on the name of Nature's classic and slept on 2000 debut LP "For All Seasons". If you've ever appreciated Nature's music please take the time to cruise on over to iTunes and pick up the EP for just $5.99. This is one of the few times in the last few years that the MASSES have had the change to support Nature and his music. Just like track #5 explains lot of hard work went into the EP from Nature and his new Deep Concepts Media label and production team. They're all doing it out of straight love for real hip-hop so take some time to give back and support a classic artist and a great up and coming label!

My favorite track on the LP is Never Falling Off, which features old friend D.O.E. Many of you will probably remember D.O.E. from the Timberland produced track "For a Minute" which featured Nature, Noreaga, and D.O.E. The D.O.E. assisted hook on Never Fallin Off is really dope and definitely has me hoping he'll be linking up with Nature and Deep Concepts Media again in the future. The full tracklist is below

Nature - Rock Like This (Video)

Nature dropped the first visual from his brand new EP "Seasons Changed - Spring Edition" which drops TOMORROW, April 30th, 2013 on iTunes. With the New York Islanders headed to the NHL playoffs for the first time in YEARS... it's only fitting that the video opens with scenes featuring Nature watching and rapping in the Isles practice facility. The track is called "Rock Like This" and was produced by Skammadix. Watch the video and download the track below.

From the official Deep Concepts Media page: "Nature is back with his new single Rock Like This produced by Skammadix. Nature lost no touch in his rhyming pattern and Rock Like This proves it. Word is, Rock Like This is the first single off of Nature’s upcoming project Seasons Changed: Spring Edition." Enjoy this ya'll and make sure to cop Seasons Changed: Spring Edition on iTunes tomorrow.
