*NEW VIDEO* - Nature "Money" - Seasons Changed LP in stores January 20, 2015!

A couple of weeks ago we saw on the blogs that Nature will be releasing a full length LP version of his Seasons Changed EP series in stores everywhere on January 20th, 2014. Details aren't complete at this point but we do know there WILL be new tracks, potentially a remix or two, and a compliation of the most popular tracks from Nature's critically acclaimed 2013 and 2014 Seasons Changed 4 part EP series (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter editions all on iTunes now). In support of that release (we assume) Nature has released a new video for this track "Money" which originally appeared on the Seasons Changed Spring EP. Produced by Sickness the track was one of my dope joints on the Spring EP and focuses on a topic of everyday struggle for almost everyone in the world.... Money.

Shoutout to NahRight for first posting the Money video which was produced by Hostage Media (another dope one... look out for them). Check out the video below and as always stay up to speed on Nature by following him on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook....... and stay up to speed with Deep Concepts Media by following them on Twitter as well. Make sure to cop that Seasons Changed EP when it drops in early 2014 if you love classic golden era hip-hop.

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!

Nature - Seasons Changed EP Series Announced

According to Deep Concepts Media (www.dcmhiphop.com) and Nature's official Twitter page he will be releasing a "Seasons Changed" EP series. For those living under a rock since 1998 the EP series plays off the name of Nature's classic 2000 LP "For All Seasons". The EP series will be released in 4 installments, 1 EP dropping per season for the upcoming year. The first installment, Spring, is dropping April 30th.

I don't have any official details on the tracklist but it's a pretty safe bet the dope homegrown Deep Concepts Media production team will be all over the LP. I'm guessing Sickness and DJ Supadave for sure, probably Skammadix and maybe production and a feature from Little Vic. I've also seen Nature interacting with some other dope producers on Twitter lately, namely Marco Polo, Buckwild, Xtreme Beats, and Red Spyda.... so I'm pretty excited to hear some new tracks. I think an official announcement will be coming soon. Follow @DeepConcepts, @TheRealNature, and @QueensbridgeRap for all the latest.

Brand New DJ Mickey Knox LP - All For The Love

For anyone who has spent even one second browsing the Deep Concepts Media website (http://dcmhiphop.com) or chilled with any member of the huge Deep Concepts Media family of DJ's, producers, emcees, entrepreneurs, and fans, you know that their label is all about a deep, true love for hip-hop music. It's even more evident in DJ Mickey Knox's latest offering "All For The Love". The LP has some dope, laid back beats that real hip-hop heads will love, courtesy of Deep Concepts production vets Sickness, DJ SupaDave, DJ Concept, and Undefined. The LP also has some great futures, including Nature, Reek da Villain, Joell Ortiz, Peter Leo, Little Vic, Termanology, The Kid Daytona, Chaundon, Stat Quo, La The Darkman, LEGACY, Blaq Poet, Nutso, Jon Hope, Jon Connor, and many many more. The debut single, "Hip-Hop" starts with a sample you will recognize from Jay-Z's "Feelin It", and rhymes ensue over a relaxing interpretation of that famous piano set to a beat. My favorite parts of the track are actually when the piano drops out and all you hear is the beat. Listen to the track below and if you enjoy it please support real hip hop by copping the LP at Amazon.com (clicking the LP cover below also works). Definitely keep an eye on Deep Concepts in 2013 as they're consistently dropping great music and need support from the fans.

Nature - Redemption (brand new 2012 heat)

Saw some tweets from Nature and DJ Kay Slay popping up on my timeline earlier this week.... so I immediately wondered... what is this Redemption shit Kay Slay is talking about? New Nature mixtape? New track? I need to find this ASAP...

@THEREALNATURERedemption is hard bro!!!

— DJ KaySlay (@RealDjKayslay) July 17, 2012

A quick Twitter search brought me to a ton of DJ's and fans buzzing about a new Soundcloud leaked track by Nature and Deep Concepts Media called Redemptiom from his upcoming mixtape called the Ashtray Effect. The track is very dope... Nature flows over two different beats. They're both dope, the first one (done by Sickness) starts out reminding me of that old Ransom Note joint... and the second beat (done by DJ Supa Dave) flips the Rocky sample (Rocky movie snippets are mixed in throughout). Nature rips it up so I can see what Kay Slay and everybody else on Twitter was talking about. Here's the link to Soundcloud to listen and download. For anybody in NYC today Nature is doing a show with the Kid Daytona and more tonight at Halo lounge in Smithtown, Long Island. I'm sure he'll be performing this one. Enjoy!

Deep Concepts Media - Meet the Team (Video)

As many of you already know, Nature has been recording heavy with a new crew during 2011-2012, Deep Concepts Media. In just a short period the Deep Concepts team has already had an impact on the NYC hip-hop scene. Deep Concepts Media seems to be cut from a different cloth than most other teams out there today... they're in the biz because they LOVE the music. They've lived this hip-hop shit for over 20 years and they're looking to help bring more great music into this world. That's the kind of label I want to support.

Peep the video below and meet the Deep Concepts Media team. Links to their official biographies per the Deep Concepts Media website (www.dcmhiphop.com) are also included below.
