2013 was a pretty dope year for hip-hop overall, and it was pretty damn good overall for NYC, Queens, and Long Island hip hop. A huge part of that was due to the hard work of all of the people over at Deep Concepts Media. They had a vision, some dope DJ's, some dope producers, and some real true hip-hop lovers with a dream. Millions of listens, thousands of hours, and hundreds of tracks later we've hit 2014... and we've got a fantastic collection of additions to the Nature catalog to enjoy. 2013 saw at least half a dozen official and unofficial Nature mixtapes and his first official releases in many many years... the fantastic Seasons Changed EP series (Spring, Summer, and Fall).
With so much material to choose from it was pretty difficult to choose my 10 favorite tracks. I had to reach out to some of the fans to solicit opinions.... and I'll be doing a full recap of EVERY Nature track after the countdown is over so ya'll can enjoy em all. Hit us up on Twitter @QueensbridgeRap if you want to weigh in!
Popping up at #10 is Where I Belong, one of the dopest joints on the Seasons Changed: Spring Edition EP. The track features smooth production AND a smooth opening verse from Little Vic. Nature keeps it going nicely on the second verse. The track started to buzz again in late 2013 due to the release of a brand new visual from Hostage Media. Fans are loving the record store... anyone who has been a Nature fan knows the struggle of digging in the crates and searching online for (as DJ Clue would say) that "NEW NATURE!!!!!!!!"). Blogs picked up on this video in a hurry, much love to the guys over at 2DopeBoyz for picking it up first. Check the video below and let us know what ya think. If you love the track cop it on iTunes here.
