*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, Kool G Rap & Gotham Green - Cross Island Expressway

Saw this one on Twitter and wanted to share.... new track by Gotham Green featuring rap legends Kool G Rap & Nature called Cross Island Expressway. As expected they bring the heat, check it out via Gotham's soundcloud page below. It's a shame up and coming artists don't put together features from different parts of hip-hop history on the same track. You've got Gotham Green, who grew up idolizing Nature on the mic.... and both of them grew up admiring Kool G Rap. The result is a great collabo from Gotham Green's upcoming project child of an immigrant. Read more on that project here. If you want to hear more from Gotham on his upcoming projects check him out on Twitter here. Kool G Rap and Nature are also both on Twitter.

NEW Ali Vegas & Nature - Reppin Where I'm From

It's always dope when two slept on emcees get together for a track. When two of those emcees happen to be two of your favorite emcees... you can't click play fast enough. The good people over at Deep Concepts Media have gotten Nature and Ali Vegas for what from my count might be their 5th or 6th collaboration in the past 15-20 years. Lovers of classic NYC hip-hop fans will remember their first, the dope Nature & Ali Vegas track "It's Like That"). The latest offering from the due is entited Reppin Where I'm From has Vegas kicking things off spitting his wittiest rhymes as usual. The track has been picked up by all of the best hip-hop blogs including Audiomack, Boi-1da.net, DotGotIt, Spitfire and many more. Nature delivers the hook and reminds everybody that Nate & Veg have been putting it down for New York since the beginning. The track was produced by G Sparks and based on his Twitter I can't tell where he's reppin... but he put together a solid beat for this one so I've gotta show him some love. If you love this track get at Nature and Ali Vegas on Twitter and give Deep Concepts Media a follow too to stay up on all their latest projects. Oh and if you wanna hear ALL of the Nature and Ali Vegas collabos hit me up on twitter @QueensbridgeRap.

Nature's "Seasons Changed: Winter Edition" EP now available

While we were busy counting down the Top 10 Nature Tracks of 2013 Deep Concepts Media has quietly been churning out more quality new material for Nature's fourth and final installment in the Seasons Changed EP series.... the Seasons Changed Winter Edition EP. The first track that was leaked from the EP was "Brighter Days" by Nature featuring Black Rob. The track was produced by Velotz and has already been creating quite the buzz on the Twitter. Right on the heels of that release was the very dope remix and video to Welcome to My World (called Welcome to My World Revisited). The track, produced by DJ Supa Dave, is one of the EP's many standout joints.

The full tracklist can be viewed and the EP can be streamed / purchased below. As you can see the EP has several dope features from Black Rob to Ali Vegas to DCM's own young prodigy Peter Leo and multi-taleneted producer/rapper Little Vic. From beginning to end I'm enjoying this EP... DJ Concept killed the intro/outro and the production doesn't slow down all the way through with dope beats from Marco Polo (Throw It Up), DJ Supa Dave (Welcome to My World Revisited), DJ Insite (Up in the Sky), Little Vic (Catch Me), Velotz (Brighter Days), Fly Purple (Last Dayz) and Skammadix (No Assumption). Support by copping the EP below via Bandcamp, over at iTunes, or on Amazon MP3.

Top 10 Nature Tracks of 2013: #1 Big Blunts

Throughout his career Nature has definitely been known to be an "expert" when it comes to kicking rhymes about smoking weed. His relateable, smooth, storytelling flow has had fans enjoying his smoke tracks since the beginning of his career. Whether it was his first single "The Ultimate High" from his debut album For All Seasons, his classic mixtape freestyles like this gem with Half-A-Mil (RIP), or his recent work with Deep Concepts Media (like 2012's "Fly Away"), Nature has been churning out rhyme after rhyme paying homage to the world's most popular drug. How fitting that his most popular track of 2013 was a banger about the same subject..... puffing on some Big Blunts. As we wrote back in 2013, the track features top notch production from DJ Concept and a great guest verse from Fred Da Godson. The track has gotten tons of love as Nature's latest and possibly greatest smokers anthem.... peep it below. And make sure to cop the Seasons Changed Fall Edition EP on iTunes if you haven't already... Winter Edition coming very very soon.

Top 10 Nature Tracks of 2013: #2 East Coast Party

The second most requested track in our countdown this year was "East Coast Party". The track was produced by Little Vic and was released as the second official video from the Seasons Changed: Spring Edition EP. As the first officially released Nature project in a long ass time I know people really appreciated and enjoyed Spring Edition. This track and video embodies the title, as the video encapsulates an East Coast hip-hop party with the full cast of characters from the crew. The joint has a weekend feel to it, with Nature and the crew partying it up before, after, and during the show in the video. This was also the first time Nature and Deep Concepts linked up with Hostage Media for a video and that partnership has led to a number of impressive visuals. Hit them up on Twitter if you need any work done! And make sure to cop those Nature Seasons Changed EP's... winter edition dropping any minute now.

Top 10 Nature Tracks of 2013: #3 Metal Bars (DJ Skizz feat. Masta Ace & Nature)

As I wrote back in 2013, one of the best things about Nature's relationship with Deep Concepts Media is the rebirth of collaborations with other artists, producers, and DJ's. Boston native DJ Skizz brought us probably the best DJ collaboration LP of 2013 with his "B.Q.E. (Brooklyn-Queens Experience)". The LP paired Brooklyn and Queens rappers together and had a bunch of great combinations. One of the highlights was the concept track from Skizz featuring Masta Ace and Nature, Metal Bars. The track is a back and forth phone conversation between Masta Ace, who is still hustlin back at home on the block, and Nature, who on the track is rapping from inside prison.

The video follows the same concept, with the duo rapping / conversating over a prison pay phone and a burner. If you haven't seen it I've included the video link below. And if you haven't checked out the full LP... you can find "B.Q.E. (Brooklyn-Queens Experience) on iTunes here". Other features include Lil' Fame (of M.O.P.), ILL BILL, Roc Marciano, A.G., O.C., Steele (of Smif-n-Wesson), Torae, F.T., Cormega, Big Noyd, Big Twins, Craig G, Reks, Problemz, Al Tariq, Maffew Ragazino, Jakk Frost, Malik B. (of the Roots), Rasheed Chappell & many more... Cop it. Support and enjoy! Holla at DJ Skizz, Masta Ace and Nature on Twitter and tell em you like the track and saw it on this blog.
