{"product_id":"881034153630","title":"Blackalicious - Imani, Vol. 1 Instrumentals","description":"\u003cp\u003eDouble vinyl LP pressing. 2015 release, the instrumental version of Imani, Vol. 1, the fourth studio album and first in a decade by the critically-lauded hip hop duo. Ten years after 2005's The Craft comes Blackalicious' self-release, Imani, Vol. 1. Three years in the works, the album stays true to rapper Gift of Gab's clever tongue-twisting wordplay and DJ\/producer Chief Xcel's unique beats. First volume of a trilogy with appearances from Lifesavas, Lateef, Lyrics Born, funk band Monophonics, polyphonic Afro-Pop singer Zap Mama, and Fantastic Negrito who won a performance on NPR's Tiny Desk. Like a few other West Coast rap acts, including the Pharcyde and Jurassic 5, Blackalicious has generally favored what hip-hoppers call the \"positive tip\"; in other words, it's lyrics have often been spiritual and uplifting rather than violent or misogynous. Like a lot of experimental alternative rappers, Blackalicious can be quirky and eccentric; nonetheless, spirituality is a big part of the group's music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58364565913925,"sku":"BNES1988.1","price":5.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/8881\/6197\/files\/blackalicious-music-vinyl-records-blackalicious-imani-vol-1-instrumentals-881034153630-bnes1988-1-39955324043516.jpg?v=1782308472","url":"https:\/\/midnightukvinyl.com\/products\/881034153630","provider":"MIDNIGHT GROOVE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
