介紹 VMP 文集 20: 墨爾本說唱的故事,這是一套包含九張專輯、11 片黑膠的重磅系列,展示了 Bluff City 的精彩音樂——這是第四個由 Now-Again Records 製作的 VMP 文集。
The masters for this lo-fi, cassette-based movement were often just that: cassettes themselves. In many, if not all, instances, the original masters have been lost, but Now-Again Records searched far and wide for the best iterations of the music within The Story of Memphis Rap. Restored and remastered by Jason Bitner, and with lacquers cut by Cicely Balston at AIR Mastering, these albums are presented at their trunk-rattling best.
Go beyond the albums by reading our 28-page Listening Notes booklet, written by box producer Torii MacAdams. It covers the genesis of Memphis rap and why these albums are so pivotal to the musical history of the Bluff City. Our accompanying podcast features interviews with some of the artists on the box, telling their own story of Memphis rap. Find it on streaming services when your Anthology ships, and listen to each corresponding episode as you make your way through the records in your box.
