Nature: Seasons Changed - Summer Edition EP out NOW

The hightly anticipated follow up to his Seasons Changed: Spring Edition EP, Nature dropped his Seasons Changed: Summer Edition EP TODAY! I am absolutely loving this Summer Breeze joint featuring Tommy 2 Face and Cormega. This is the first time I've heard Mega on a Nature album and it's refreshing to not only see but hear Queensbridge unity in a track. Fellow Queensbridge rapper Tommy 2 Face on there too, if ya'll don't know him head over to darkageent.com where he has a number of tapes available for download with about 5 or 6 joints featuring Nature.

The Seasons Changed: Summer Edition EP also features Noreaga... who might be able to take just as much credit as Nas for helping introduce Nature to the hip-hop world. It was NORE who got Nature on Banned From TV so we've gotta show him some love for helping get us a classic verse on one of the all time great hip-hop collaboration joints. Noreaga and Nature... aka Magic and Bird.... have worked together countless times in their careers but this EP also marks the first time NORE has landed on an official studio Nature project. Nice to know NORE is still in Nature's corner 15 years later, hopefully we'll see more NORE / Deep Concepts Media collaboration in the future.

I'll have a complete review of the LP coming soon but for now I'll leave you with the tracklis, a link to purchase the LP on iTunes for $6.99, and the full video for the "Some Fake, Some Real" track which was produced by Undefined. Cameo by longtime Nature fan Ron Artest in the video too. Enjoy!

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.

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.
