ICYMI: Nature featured 2x on new BP 7 Track EP "The Supreme Seven" (2020) and 9 Track "The Supreme Seven REMIX" (2021)

Over the last several years hip-hop has gotten to know producer BP (@BP11701 on Twitter, @ScientificLens on YouTube). We've watched his portfolio consistently grow and the quality of his beats get deeper and more consistent. In 2020 he's dropped a 7 track EP of some of his best work to date "The Supreme Seven" featuring Nature, Tragedy Khadafi, Ras Kass and more. Nate is featured on two tracks, "So Many" (a Nature solo joint) and "New Day" alongside Tragedy Khadafi. I've embedded the full LP on Spotify below.

It's also worth noting in 2021 BP released a REMIX of the EP featuring new versions of each track plus a couple of new ones including "Fistful of Dynamite" which features Tragedy, Nature, and E Class.

Nature Album "Target Practice (Deluxe Edition)" Drops Friday 10/28/16, New Single "Keep Frontin"

On Friday Nature is dropping the Deluxe Edition of the "Target Practice" LP. The Deluxe Edition is reloaded with a number of new tracks, including a brand new single which just hit airwaves this week Keep Frontin. The lead single features a dope sample looped by the talented young producer and engineer BP (@BP11701 on Twitter and BP11701 on Soundcloud).

2. Back to the Rap
3. Queens Tale Part 1
4. This is Easy feat Royal Flush & Prodigy of Mobb Deep
5. The Second They See Him
6. Snap

NEW VIDEO - WILLIAM COOPER feat. NATURE - Something Ain't Right

A couple of updates for today... first is a brand new video from William Cooper (@WILLIAM_COOPER_) called "Something Ain't Right". The track is produced by BP (@BP11701) and features a verse from "a Queensbridge legend" and former Firm addition Nature (@TheRealNature). For those who don't know, William Cooper is a rapper out of Newark, New Jersey and is probably best known for his work as part of the Black Market Militia (Killah Priest, Tragedy Khadafi, William Cooper, Timbo King, Hell Razah). He took his name from a conspiracy theorist who died in the 90's. The track is from his God's Will LP and was also featured in 2015 on Nature's "Ashtray Effect 3" mixtape. Cooper and Nature have collaborated previously on the 2010 track and video for "Bring it Back".

The video is... interesting. It takes aim at the Patriot Act and starts off with a scene where the FBI is interrogating / holding a suspect presumingly with no evidence or charges being pressed. Nature gets called into William Cooper / Black Market Militia / GemStarr HQ as they concoct a plan to fight the power and rescue the unidentified prisoner being held against his will. Nature's verse is ill but doesn't quite fully align with the premise of the track (or William Cooper's spoken "lesson" at the end of the video) but it doesn't detract at all from the overall dopeness of the concept and the video. Can't say I really mind the Patriot Act, this is a new era and I'm down (for now) with the government taking some liberties as they're trying to keep us safe. Overall this is an ill track and has been getting picked up by mad blogs including EgoTripLand, 2DopeBoyz, Illuminati2G, and HipHopDX. Peep the full video below.

Nature: Seasons Changed Fall Edition EP released Tuesday 11/19/2013!

After only a few hours Nature's new Seasons Changed: Fall Edition EP is already making an impact on the iTunes Hip Hop / Rap new release charts. When I copped the EP this morning he was right behind E-40 in the #3 spot. Pretty dope news. The EP is only $5.99 and contains 7 new tracks plus an intro & outro. From beginning to end this might be my favorite installment of the Seasons Changed EP series to date... right off the bat beats are dope and the lyrics are on point. The first single, Big Blunts, features top notch production from DJ Concept and a great guest verse from Fred Da Godson. The track is already getting tons of love as the latest smokers anthem to come from Nate.




The rest of the EP tracklist is below along with the official trailer, I'll update with production credits as I have em. I'm a big fan of the Movie Star track, it takes me back to the 1999 Black Showbiz days (peep this YouTube vid if ya never heard that track before... shout to HipHopGiant). Fantasy and Miracle are two of my other favorites! My only complaint about this EP is that he didn't lay a verse down over that Outro... I kept waiting. Everybody make sure to cruise on over to iTunes and lay down the $5 to support Nature, real hip hop and a really dope label Deep Concepts Media!
