Onra: Fundamentals Vinyl 2LP

Third studio album from France’s Onra. Fundamentals sees the Parisian producer embrace his love of 1990s hip hop and r&b. He’s teamed up with a variety of rappers spanning generations from young Harlem rapper MC Perrion to the Cool Kids’ Chuck Inglish, Olivier DaySoul, Tha Dogg Pound’s Daz Dillinger and Detroits Black Milk. The sound is more Golden Era than modern funk as Onra crafts beats for the MCs to do their thing. Includes the songs: the smooth bass vibes of “So Long,” West Coast heavy “We Ridin’,” Do Or Dieand Johnny P featuring “Over And Over,” and The Doppelgangaz’s scandalous “Anything.” Thirteen tracks in all. Released by All City Records on double vinyl.
