Future Is Now (Acappellas)

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Non Phixion's seminal LP, The Future Is Now, Uncle Howie Records is pleased to announce the release of a special instrumental edition 2XLP. Comprised of group members ILL Bill, Lord Goat (f/k/a Goretex), Sabac Red and DJ Eclipse, The Future Is Now remains the group's sole full length effort, garnering much acclaim among both critics and fans alike. Considered by many as an underground classic, TFIN boasts a production dream team that includes DJ Premier, Pete Rock and Large Professor, who have yet to appear credited together on the same album since the release of Nas's Illmatic. With additional production supplied by JuJu of The Beatnuts, as well as group affiliate Necro, Dave 1 of Chromeo and T-Ray, this special edition instrumental offering is sure to be a treasure for both fans of the group, as well as true school audiophiles the world over. To boot, this release marks the first time the instrumentals have been made available on vinyl in nearly 20 years! Production aside, the LP jacket will be adorned with an overhauled version of the left half of the original mural illustrated by Mear One. Why just the left half you ask? Well Uncle Howie Records will also be releasing an acapella version of the album for the first time-also as a 2XLP-which will feature the right half of the mural, making this a true collector's edition to reel in the milestone! This 20th anniversary instrumental edition of The Future Is Now is set for release on March 24th via Uncle Howie Records in partnership with Fat Beats Distribution.
