RELOADED (VINYL)

For the first time in 5 years, Long Island rapper/producer/ex-Flipmode
Squad member Roc Marciano's sophomore full-length is back in print
on vinyl.
The 15-track album is an ice-cold slice of New York rap grittiness from
a dead-eyed master of the craft. Reloaded is largely self-produced
and thematically airtight. The album showcases Roc in his prime, not
so much flexing as effortlessly dismissing any question of his prowess
as a producer and emcee. His masterful manipulation of stark loops is
wildly refreshing, each utilitarian snare catching threatening syllables at
a measured yet completely unravelled clip and spattering vivid imagery
on each chilling instrumental. The album also includes guest production
from The Alchemist, Q-Tip, Arch Druids, and Ray West, as well as guest
appearances by Ka.
