Feel The Music

At just 17, Aaliyah released her second album and was already one of the most commanding artists in modern R&B, all while finishing drama school and preparing to star in Romeo Must Die. Linking up with Missy Elliot and Timbaland on a number of tracks, this 1996 2xLP was a bold step up from her debut with a future-leaning sound. With OG pressings asking for a lot, this reissue is a chance to cop a pivotal piece of R&B history on wax. Essential!

"Every time a shooting makes the news talking heads pop up in small boxes and make loud arguments about how we shouldn’t rush to politicize what just happened. After all, the heads argue, guns don’t kill people. People kill people. But how true is that? Are the tools we use simply tools, innocuous until we give them meaning? Or are the things we surround ourselves with, the things in our arsenal, begging to be weaponized, for good or for evil?" - Quelle Chris, via Bandcamp. 'Guns', the new album from the critically acclaimed rapper and producer Chris, is a careful study of all these questions, an urgent record for urgent times. Reissued on marbled gold vinyl across 2xLP.
