All Natural - No Additives, No Preservatives (Xtra Phat) (1998)

All Natural - No Additives, No Preservatives (Xtra Phat)
Genre: Hip-Hop
Released:  1998

Yeah, this one is strictly for the Hip-Hop heads. 

All Natural are a duo from Chicago who have released two of the most slept-on Hip-Hop LP's in recent times, and undoubtedly some of the best Hip-Hop to ever come out of the windy city. Everyone loves a bit of experimental Hip-Hop every now and then, but you know, sometimes... you just want to hear something uncomprimisingly pure. As their name suggests, All Natural make Hip-Hop which is exactly that. I believe they also run (or ran?) their own health bar (wtf?), as you can see from their album cover. Anyway, this whole album is packed with classics, with quality that matches the quantity (it's a big album!). For some reason, one of my favourite moments in Hip-Hop is just Capital D repeatedly stating "it's Windy City style!" on the intro to 'It's OK', and that flute sample... you could chill to that all day. There's not much else for me to say really except that this album is ridiculously dope and an essential part of your Hip-Hop collection. So yeah... refresh your mind with some healthy Hip-Hop.

I'll also be posting their follow-up LP Second Nature later which is as good, if not better.
